Theone that got away: @alfaromeoofficial 8C 2900 B Lungo - almost winner of the 1938 24H Du Mans - on one of its rare outings from @museoalfaromeo. The year was 1938 and Alfa was looking for a fifth win at Le Mans, following its 4 consecutive victories from 1931 to 1934 and a podium placement that followed. The8C 2300 won the Le Mans 24 Hours from 1931 to 1934. In 1938, Clemente Biondetti won the Mille Miglia in an 8C 2900B Corto Spider; notably, Biondetti will win the first edition of Mille Miglia post-war (1947) with another 8C 2900B. The Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B MM that won the 1938 Mille Miglia driven by Clemente Biondetti at the Simeone Infact, the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 won Le Mans no fewer than four times (1931-1934). The car's heart is its supercharged, straight-eight, twin-overhead-camshaft engine, which Jano arranged in effect as two four-cylinder units in tandem with cam-drive gears amidships. Bore and stroke were 66x88mm, for 2,336cc, while the twin-lobe Roots-type Aone-off Berlinetta was built for the 1938 24 hour race at Le Mans. It was a contender for overall victory but was eventually retired due to a blow front tire that exploded with such force that the shredded tire cut through the bodywork. 1938Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Le Mans Speciale specs, performance data, top speed, engine specifications, pictures. fastestlaps.

Toobad they didn’t give points for beauty in the 1938 24 Hours of LeMans. If they did, this Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Coupe would have been undefeated until the mid-sixties. As it was, Raymond Sommer and Clemente Biondetti weren’t able to capitalize on Sommer’s fastest lap when the car lost oil pressure. Even so, stunning.
