Vehicle description

Introduction

From 1989 Alfa Romeo offered its model "Spider" of the now 4th generation: As it would later turn out, it was the last version of the classic Spider. In the style of the late 1980s and early 1990s, this Spider featured many plastic add-on parts, which were painted in body color. A continuous band of lights at the rear was intended to provide family resemblance to the Alfa 164. The 4th generation Spider was available as a 1.6-liter with 107 hp and as a 2.0-liter version with 126 hp and 120 hp (with catalytic converter) respectively. After 27 years of construction, Alfa Romeo finally discontinued the Spider with classic rear-wheel drive after 4 generations and a total of over 100,000 copies produced.
