Victory by Design: Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B

Today’s normal highway speeds generally range from about 60 mph to 80 mph and are attainable by just about every road going automobile out there. How about back in 1937 though when technology and safety features on automobiles were all but non-existent. What must it have been like back then? Traveling at high speeds today is something that I think all motorists take for granted, as today’s cars just do it so easily. Hell, even the slowest Hyundai you can buy today still goes well over 100 mph. Now take a look at the above video of this beautiful 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Mille Miglia, a car that, for its time would reach 150 mph. Former auto racer and automotive personality Alain de Cadenet takes us through the particulars of this simply beautiful and one of a kind automobile.
