Alfa Romeo Spyder
The Spider was a prime example of
stylish Italian open-top motoring and it wouldn't hurt Alfa. Since 1966, when it was launched at the 36th
edition of the Geneva Motor Show, Alfa Romeo continued to develop the drop-top
in six generations. The last one left the assembly lines in 2010. Six years is
too long to wait, especially in the face of the ever stiffening competition.
With the brand being buoyant about the
Giulia, and since the saloon is a good starting point for other future models
that are bound to enter Alfa Romeo's lineup, IndavDesign has injected some new
pixels into the Spider, with visual influences from the brand's latest
four-door, wrapped around its underpinnings.
In theory it would have worked very
nicely. The reality is that FCA chose Fiat and Abarth for their version of the
MX-5 roadster, they aren't exactly loaded with cash and Alfa's future is
entwined with the Giulia, so there's no Spider on their schedule right now.
