  Alfa Romeo Spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alfa Romeo Spider is a roadster produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1966 to 1993 (190 Spiders were badged as 1994 Commemorative Editions for the North American market).
The Spider underwent a major revamp in 1983 which saw the introduction of fl rubber front and rear bumpers.
Externally, the Spider lost its front under-bumper spoiler and the rear trunk-lid spoiler and picked up 164-style rear lights stetching across the width of the car as well as plastic bumpers the same color as the car.

 Alfa Romeo GTV & Spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a typical Italian design, with the Alfa Romeo grill with the pair of lights on each side recalling the 1750 GTV of the late 1960s and 1970s.
The Spider and GTV were based on the Fiat Tipo platform, in this case a heavily modified version with all new multilink rear suspension which allowed passive rear steering.
The Spider and GTV were revamped in 1998; the post-revamp models are recognisable by the addition of a chrome rim around the Alfa shield in the bonnet.

 Alfa Romeo Spider Review
This Alfa Romeo Spider (Spider being the Italian for convertible), was released to the press and public at the 1995 Geneva motor show.
Designed by Pininfarina the car shares the same platform as its Spider stable mate and took design cues from the 1991 Alfa Romeo Proteo who’s bonnet lines it shares, and the 1964 Giulia spider who’s boot lines there is a similarity to.
The chassis is the stiffest that Alfa Romeo have ever made for a convertible and while there is some scuttle shake it is minimal.

Even though Alfa Romeo has a strong profile today, it was in the days of Henry Ford that they were in a class of their own when it came to auto sport and sports cars.
Romeo had been removed as director in 1928, and the company was taken over by the government shortly after the crash.
The Alfa 6 was not particularly well received but its fuel injected stable mate the GTV 6, released in 1981 was to go on to become one of the great sports cars and an Alfa classic.

 Alfa Romeo Spider - RSportsCars.com
The Alfa Romeo Spider is a complex, sophisticated creature which both recalls the long Alfa Romeo tradition in this sector (from the Giulietta Spider in the ‘50s to the Duetto and the Nineties model), and rolls out some cutting edge solutions in terms of mechanical specifications and engines.
The new Alfa Romeo Spider is a generously-sized two-seater – 71.4 inches wide, 171.4 long and 53.3 high – characterized by elongated rear lights and four exhaust terminals which accentuate the impression of great temperament.
The interior of the Alfa Spider is inviting and gorgeously sophisticated, thanks to the use of sumptuous materials and added value features (as standard, depending on the version): from the automatic dual-zone climate control to the steering wheel mounted radio controls, from VDC to cruise control.

 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce by Wille R.
The Duetto was a good example of Alfa Romeo’s emphasis on aerodynamics, born in the 1950s with the Bertone-styled Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica (BAT) series of prototypes.
Badging on the Duetto was notable by its absence.
Alfa Romeo has often faced problems over where to site the registration plate, since the logical central position is often taken by the prominent grille.

The new Alfa flagship, codename Progetto 941, should be positioned in a higher segment than the current Alfa 166, with the objective of stealing sales from cars such as the 4 door coupes Mercedes CLS and the upcoming Porsche Panamera.
It is then likely that Alfa Romeo may move down to the forthcoming 149 which is due to be unveiled by the end of 2006, although the team claim that they may still plough their resources into a privateer team next year so as to maintain a presence in the championship.

Alfa Romeo were always synonymous with stylish, elegant vehicles and the Giulia Spider, available for just three years, was no exception to that rule.
The Alfa's transmission tunnel is quite fat but shallow and there is space alongside the clutch for your left foot to rest.

 Alfa Romeo Spider
Although Alfa Romeo’s new Brera coupe has been described as a ‘concept car come true’, its avant-garde silhouette and vaguely van-like proportions are apparently a little challenging to some, at least to those with a more conservative view of how a coupe should look.
There are no plans to equip the Spider with the Brera’s 2.4 litre 200bhp/295lb=ft JTD diesel motor, though with diesels on the up in endurance racing, maybe perceptions of what constitutes sporty and what doesn’t may in time change.
Alfa claims that the Spider can complete a recently standardised lane change test at 135km/h compared with the class benchmark Porsche Boxster’s 130km/h, and achieve 1g lateral acceleration in corners.

Although Alfa Romeo's new Brera coupe has been described as a "concept car come true", its avant garde silhouette and vaguely van-like proportions are apparently a little challenging to some, at least to those with a more traditional, conservative view of how a coupé should look.
However, this most recent Alfa, the Spider - essentially a Brera convertible - is, from a styling perspective, likely to please even the most critical and conservative of onlookers.
The Spider is due to go on sale in the UK in February 2007 at a price of approximately £1200 over that of the equivalent Brera, namely from £24,000 to £28,700.

 Alfa Romeo Spider (2006- ) - 4Car Feature - from Channel 4
Our Spiders have always been Pininfarina designs, right back to the 50s Giulietta Spider which anticipated today's single-nose, two-design-houses policy by having almost exactly the same front end as the Bertone-designed Giulietta Sprint.
The Spider weighs 60kg more than the Brera, an unusually small weight penalty for an open-top version of a car - but then the Brera is itself heavy with that glass roof.
As for that crucial measure of an open car's integrity, torsional stiffness, the Spider scores 64,000dNm/radian (never mind exactly what the figures mean, compare the relativities) with the roof down, 74,000 with roof erect.
