In-game description[]
When the new Alfa Romeo Spider was unveiled at the 1994 Paris Motor Show, its body style produced a media buzz all over the world. It looked nothing like the cars that preceded it, taking the classic 2-seater in a completely different direction than its predecessors, whose roots can be dated back to 1927. To say that the new car looked radical would be an understatement. Penned by Pininfarina, the Italian designer mainly associated with Ferrari, the Spider's exterior styling featured wide fenders, a low-slung body and a radical new face, making it look sportier than ever before.
The car was also spiritually different in that it now adopted an FF layout (Front engine/Front drive) rather than the traditional FR. Initially, it came powered by a 142 BHP 2.0-liter DOHC inline-4, but in 2001, a 3.0-liter DOHC V6 boasting 214 BHP was added. A 5-speed manual gearbox came mated to the former engine, which later evolved into a 6-speed unit for the V6. Despite being front-wheel drive, the new Alfa was a competent performer on twisty roads as it demonstrated excellent balance through corners and little chassis flex, inherent in most convertibles of its day. The Spider underwent significant changed in 2003, in the form of a redesigned front grille and a bigger V6, going from 3.0 liters to 3.2.
