Alfa Romeo 8C: The Crown Jewel of Pre-War Racing

BY Jean-Marie Corre

Nuvolari’s Charge: The 8C in Full Flight

This limited-edition acrylic artwork by French automotive artist Jean-Marie Corre, reproduced in only 20 numbered copies, pays homage to the legendary Alfa Romeo 8C, one of the most revered racing machines of the 1930s. Its 8-cylinder supercharged engine, developed under Vittorio Jano, was a masterpiece of Italian engineering - lightweight, brutal, and elegant.

This automotive painting represent the fierce determination of Nuvolari’s 1935 season. Behind the wheel of the Alfa 8C Monoposto, he challenged the might of German engineering with raw talent, mechanical courage, and relentless willpower. Depicted mid-race, the 8C tears through the circuit - its wheels blurred, its long bonnet thrust forward like a weapon. Nuvolari’s expression is not reflective, but resolute: focused, fearless, and ferociously alive.

The acrylic technique brings energy and saturation to the scene, accentuating the iconic Alfa Rosso, the spray of grit, and the mechanical violence of pre-war Grand Prix racing. Every brushstroke echoes the rhythm of a time when racing meant flirting with the edge of control, and victory was carved out by men who refused to yield.

Whether you're a connoisseur of Grand Prix history, a collector of Italian legends, or someone who understands that courage is part of the talent, this artwork delivers more than a car - it captures Nuvolari’s spirit in full flight, for your greatest pleasure.

For display, collection, or legacy - gift this Alfa Romeo 8C, showing how it made history: on the edge, against the giants, without hesitation.

  • The Alfa Romeo 8C: Where Speed Met Artistry

    The Alfa Romeo 8C was introduced in 1931 as a technological showcase, featuring an advanced supercharged straight-eight engine developed by engineering legend Vittorio Jano. Initially built for sports car racing, it quickly evolved into one of the most dominant machines of the decade.

    The 8C won the Targa Florio, the Mille Miglia, and the 24 Hours of Spa, securing its place in motorsport history. Enzo Ferrari’s Scuderia Ferrari operated many of the official entries before becoming a manufacturer in his own right. Notably, the 8C was among the first racing cars to combine competitive performance with elegant coachbuilt bodies from Touring, Zagato, and Pinin Farina.

    Each surviving example today is a highly individualized machine, with unique configurations and histories. Only a few dozen authentic chassis remain, making them among the most valuable and exclusive pre-war collectibles in existence. In auctions and concours events, the 8C is celebrated as a symbol of pre-war Italian excellence - fast, beautiful, and mechanically brilliant.

About the Artist.

The eye of an engineer, the soul of an artist

Jean-Marie is a self-taught artist whose passion is closely linked to the vintage cars his father collected. Engineer at a major french car manufacturer and painter in his spare time, he seized the opportunity of the health crisis to fulfill his childhood dream: to become a painter and exhibit his artwork at automotive events.

His work pays tribute to the golden age of motor racing (1950s-60s), a time when drivers were daring adventurers, driven by boundless courage. Jean-Marie strives to capture the essence of these suspended moments: uncovered faces, basic helmets, reflections on curved bodywork...

He composes his canvases like photographs taken by a photographer transported back in time, playing with light, light and shade, contrasts, and atmospheres. Acrylic allows him to enhance the details, while watercolor offers him more spontaneous freedom. Now recognized in the automotive art world, Jean-Marie offers a sensitive and poetic interpretation of classic cars.
