That's a show stopper right there. Sick car. I thought all of them are accounted for?

holy crap, when did this happen? I thought they were still deciding whether or not to re-enter the US market. Or is this just a special import for all the 8Cs that would be sold in the US (given that it's in a Maserati/Bentley and probably Ferrari showroom).

(drool).... are those LED foglights?

on second thought, its a grey marked import. look at the rear plate it still has a euro design. alfa would have to make the plate cavity a bit taller to fit u.s plates with ease. if you look hard at the gauges the number's go past 200 so it must be in kmh

Depends. The 05-06 smart was imported to Canada but they didn't change the rear panels so the US-style plate was bolted onto a Euro-style licence plate cavity. I'm sure there are a few other examples.
