The Alfa 8C was created by Vittorio Jano, chief engineer at Alfa Romeo.The 8C featured an 8-cylinder, 2300 cc engine comprising two blocks of four cylinders with a single camshaft drive mounted between them. The four-speed manual gearbox and a Roots-type supercharger married agility with strength, and the resultant power-plants were bodied by distinguished coachbuilders, including Zagato, Touring, Figoni and Pinin Farina.

The first Alfa 8C debuted at the 1931 Mille Miglia and went on to take first place for three consecutive years. It also won the Targa Florio, and took first place at the challenging 24 hours of Le Mans four years in a row. Checkered flag victories were gained at other world class events, such as Monaco Grand Prix, the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and the Spa 24 Hours, earned the Alfa 8C a reputation as the race car of the 1930s.
