Alfa Romeo Spider - exclusive on Russian roads

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

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

Alfa Romeo Spider interior design is verycharacteristic 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.

Front seats differ sports exteriorappearance, and instead of the rear seats a shelf for things is mounted. 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 150hp At first glance, nothing special. But during operation, you can be 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 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 very"acute" steering (2.2 from the stop to the stop) significantly affects the controllability of the car. Therefore, in order to learn to ride smoothly and stably on non-ideal cover and at high speed, it is recommended that some time be trained.

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

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

Alfa Romeo Spider is not only different from the outsidebeauty, stylish design, but also excellent technical characteristics. Thanks to this, driving is able to deliver only pleasure. Moreover, this brand of the 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.
