2025 Alfa Romeo 8C DoppiaCoda by Zagato

The 2025 Alfa Romeo 8C DoppiaCoda by Zagato is a one-off creation, built for a private Italian collector and revealed at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. It’s based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and retains the original’s Ferrari-Maserati-sourced 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine. This engine produces around 450 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque, enabling the car to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and reach a top speed of nearly 292 km/h.

The DoppiaCoda features entirely new bodywork crafted by Zagato, with special focus on the rear design. It blends two classic Zagato design cues—the rounded tail and the Kamm-tail (or “coda tronca”)—to create a unique rear-end treatment. The result is a dramatic and aerodynamic look, with a rear wing that appears both separate from and integrated into the body depending on the viewing angle. Chief designer Norihiko Harada shaped the line from the front arch to the rear wing to maintain visual flow and reduce the visual bulk a traditional Kamm-tail might add to a grand tourer like the 8C.

This is not just a tribute to the 8C of the 2000s, but also to Zagato’s historic collaborations with Alfa Romeo dating back to the 1930s. The project was entirely managed in-house by Zagato and stands as both a historical homage and a modern design statement. No performance upgrades were announced, but the car’s exclusivity, artistry, and one-off nature make it an instant collector’s item.
