Alfa will unveil the convertible version of its arresting 8C Competizione sports car at next month's Geneva motor show.

The 8C Spider shares the same engine as the coupe, a 4.7-litre V8 that produces 450bhp. All that power reaches the wheels through a Formula 1-style six-speed paddle-shift gearbox.

The car has a fabric roof, which is deployed electrically by touching a button on the dashboard, and the roof can be personalised in various colours to suit the car's body colour.

Prices haven't been revealed, but the Coupe costs £110,000, so it'll be considerably more than that.

In any case, it's probably academic - Alfa is only making 500 8C Spiders, and, if the coupe is anything to go by, they will probably be sold out before it goes on sale.
