Alfa Spider is freedom. Alfa Spider is technology. Alfa Spider is Italian style parading on the roads of the world. Alfa Spider is the legendary open sports car, heir to the legacy of the Giulietta Spider and the unforgettable Duetto – the true icons of the automotive world. At its debut at the Geneva Show, the model was immediately awarded the title of “2006 Cabrio of the Year”. Alfa Spider is the prized offspring of the new Alfa Romeo generation. Italian through and through, it stems from the collaboration of the Alfa Romeo Styling Centre with two names that bespeak Italian style the world over: Giugiaro and Pininfarina.

Befitting a true luxury sports convertible, an electrically retractable roof, roll bars, wind break and rear storage compartments are all standard across the Spider range.

The all new Alfa Spider – the comeback of a legend.

Alfa Brera – Alfa Spider Power and technology With the Alfa Brera and Alfa Spider, you have a choice of two innovative petrol engine options. Both of these powerful engines provide loads of engine torque even from low speeds ensuring optimal acceleration. These state-ofthe-art engines also provide low fuel consumption and low emissions. With 191kW, the new 3.2 JTS V6 is the most powerful engine from Alfa Romeo and adopts the exclusive Twin Phaser system to vary intake and exhaust valve opening angle.

No less refined, the 2.2 JTS has four cylinders, twin camshafts and a Twin Phaser variator. It delivers 136kW and is remarkable for its lightness, due to an engine block and cylinder head made of aluminium alloy. Two counterrotating balance shafts reduce vibration, ensuring smooth effortless running.

Innovative engines designed for effortless performance and enjoyment.

Alfa AlfaBrera Brera– Alfa Spider Glued to the road Alfa Brera and Alfa Spider are the epitome of driving pleasure, road-holding and safety. With uncompromising designs, they adopt an impressive suspension setup that uses a high wishbone solution at the front – derived from the world of motor racing – and a multi-link system at the rear. The steering is the most direct in its category with barely two and a quarter turns from lock to lock, ensuring remarkably quick response. The braking system uses four discs (all selfventilating on the 3.2 JTS V6), including ABS and electronic brake force distribution. For maximum safety, the car also boasts the most advanced electronic traction and stability control systems available.

In the 3.2 JTS V6 model, the Brera and Spider have Q4 permanent all-wheel drive, a highly evolved drive train that attunes its dynamic behaviour to any road condition. At the heart of the system are the “Torsen Twin C” mechanical central and front differentials, which distribute the engine torque between the front and rear wheels depending on tyre grip. Ensuring an optimal level of driver control under normal conditions, the 3.2 JTS V6’s differential delivers 57% of torque to the rear wheels and 43% to the front.

This state-of-the-art Q4 is designed first and foremost to satisfy the most demanding and passionate of drivers.

“Alfa Romeo is something special. It occupies a place apart. It is a kind of disease, this passion for a means of transport. It is a way of life, a very special way of thinking about a powered vehicle. It’s hard to define. It is one of those irrational human traits that defy logical definition.

It’s to do with feelings and passions, things that have more to do with the heart than the brain. It’s a way of thinking that derives from racing, where excellence is indispensable and the pressure to perform is constant… We have always believed that these concepts find their true expression in the cars we sell – their drivability, the way the driver ‘feels’ the car in his hands.”

Orazio Satta, Technical Director, Alfa Romeo – 1962
