TURIN -- Alfa Romeo will build the 8C Spider, the convertible version of the limited-edition 8C Competizione supercar.

In a presentation to financial investors in New York City today, Fiat group CEO Sergio Marchionne said the 8C Spider will go on sale worldwide in 2009.

The 8C Competizione coupe went on sale this month in Europe. It starts at 165,000 euros. US sales start in mid-2008.

The 8C Spider is expected to cost about 20,000 euros more than the coupe.

Alfa will build 500 units of the 450hp two-seat coupe. A similar volume is planned for the 8C Spider.

A concept version of the 8C Spider was unveiled in August 2005 at the Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance in Monterey, California.
