Alfa Romeo's Spider was introduced in 1966; the Spider's
initial design was the one of the last works overseen by Pininfarina founder
Batista 'Pinin' Farina beautiful shape with a tapering tail to balance its
sloping nose with covered headlights.
The original Alfa Romeo Spider did
everything well, Handling: suspension setup used coil springs and telescoping
shock absorbers; unequal length A-arms at the front and a well located rear
axle. With four wheel disc brakes, a 5-speed transmission and a decidedly
up-market Alfa twin cam four of cast aluminum.
An aluminum valve cover crowned the head, covering twin, chain-driven camshafts beneath it. Those camshafts actuated valves within
hemispherical combustion chambers, with a spark plug properly located between
the valves and cast iron wet liners to provide durability
The Alfa Duetto was one of the curved-tail Spiders, and it
used a 1, 570cc version of the Alfa twin cam. Succeeding the Duetto in the U.S.
market was the Spider Veloce of 1969 - which used a 1, 779cc engine and the
advanced SPICA mechanical fuel injection system. In 1971 the Spider Veloce
continued with the 1, 779cc engine but the curved-tail styling disappeared, replaced by a then revolutionary Kamm-tail treatment (cut-off-tail.)
All American market Alfa Spiders from 1972 used a 1, 962cc
version of the all-alloy engine. For 1975, the U.S. cars included larger
bumpers to meet new USA standards.
Achieving worldwide acclaimed celebrity to the 'Spider', the
1967 film 'The Graduate' which starred Dustin Hoffman, brought unbelievable
attention to the Alfa Romeo line.
