Alfa Romeo Spider - exclusive on Russian roads

The sports car Alfa Romeo Spider appeared on sale in 1994. Over the years he moved not only cosmetic, but also technical modernization.

Currently, the car has acquired a fairly aggressive and stylish exterior design. It features a wedge-shaped profile, a unique combination of convex surfaces with accentuated faces.

The interior design of the Alfa Romeo Spider is very characteristic and successful. Inside the car, everything is decorated in a traditional sporting style for the brand, which is remembered by round instruments hidden in the recesses, an original frame of ventilation and a protruding cap over the main instruments. The instrument panel in the interior is very expressive and ergonomic.

The front seats are sporty in appearance, and instead of the rear seats there is a shelf for things. This is especially true, since the Alfa Romeo 8c Spider is small (155 l). Moreover, this model by criterion "the smallest trunk" is the champion.

Landing at the driver is quite low, and the steering wheel is shifted forward.

Alfa Romeo Spider has a two-liter engine for 150 hp. At first glance, nothing special. But during operation, you can make sure that the model has an excellent traction, as well as a unique and characteristic roar of the motor. But despite this, the car is designed as uniquely, that even at a speed of 170 kilometers per hour with an open top and with raised windows you can safely talk without even raising your voice. The roof can be quietly raised and folded by hand: no dexterity, no great effort is required.

But Alfa Romeo Spider has one "sore point". It's about the small rigidity of the body. This can be felt when the car moves at a speed of about 70 kilometers per hour on uneven asphalt. In this case, the creaking of the upholstery in the passenger compartment, the low-frequency vibration, which passes through the floor, the windows and the entire internal surface, are clearly felt.

Naturally, because of the stiffness of the body and a very "sharp" steering (2.2 from the stop to the stop), the controllability of the car significantly suffers. Therefore, in order to learn how to ride smoothly and stably on a non-ideal surface and at high speed, it is recommended that some time be trained.

If you acquire the necessary skills to ride on the Alpha Romeo, then even on a sharp turn, you can clearly adhere to the specified trajectory, slightly straying on the irregularities. But, of course, it is recommended to be as attentive and collected on the road as possible.

Despite this drawback, it is possible to single out a unique smoothness of movements, which is not so common in a sports car. This is made possible by energy-intensive and comfortable suspension. Therefore, you can safely go on a secondary road, without fear of especially breakdowns.

Alfa Romeo Spider differs not only in its exterior beauty, stylish design, but also with its excellent technical characteristics. Thanks to this, driving can only deliver pleasure. Moreover, this brand of car is quite difficult to meet on Russian roads (unlike similar models of companies such as Audi, Mercedes and BMW). Therefore, Alfa Romeo Spider is an exclusive.
