Alfa Spider

Alfa Spider Model Year 2008, refined two-seater with its sleek lines, developed jointly by Pininfarina and the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, continues the long tradition of sports cars created for the legendary Italian car company.

About three years after its launch, the car - which is built in the Pininfarina plant in San Giorgio Canavese (Torino) - proposes a few styling changes, like the introduction of a new non-metallic colour (ice white) and 18” perforated wheels with a dark sporty finish. The rear logo incorporates the “push button” system to release the boot immediately and safely. In the safety field, the Alfa Spider MY 08 can boast the most innovative electronic devices to control the car’s dynamic behaviour.

But the most important improvements on the MY 2008 regard the interior. On board, each element has a personality of its own: four powerful exhausts, the electrically-operated canvas hood that disappears out of sight, the powerful, penetrating headlamps incorporated into the line of the bonnet. The new anatomical seats with their sporty shape provide greater containment, more enjoyable driving and enhanced comfort, they are available in a soft black fabric with metallic effects, and two different types of leather: Frau leather or luxurious Poltrona Frau ‘pieno fiore’ fine grain leather.

Harmonious shapes and volumes combine with the excellence of the engineering and engines, and the strength of the Alfa Romeo brand, to produce an exciting car that deserves more recognition from the market, which is hamstrung by the collapse of consumer spending and the resulting difficulties in the automotive sector.
