All new 2006 Alfa Romeo Spider,The upcoming Geneva Motor Show will see the world
debut of the Alfa 159 Sportwagon and the Alfa Spider, Like the saloon – the total
length (4,660 millimetres) is exactly the same – the new model has
been given a decidedly sporty look, without that look of ‘added-on
volume’ which characterises the typical station wagon thus
completing the range set to take Alfa Romeo into the future.
Alfa 159 Sportwagon represents a consummate blend of Italian
style with the performance and handling of a genuine sportscar,
combined with the flexibility of use and versatility of space you
would expect from a high class estate. The sleek
lines of the long roof give it a coupé feel, as does the roof
spoiler and the edgy aerodynamic styling, while the superbly
functional interior offers great load volume. All in all Alfa 159
Sportwagon guarantees the performance and dynamic handling of a
sportscar with a size of boot in line with that of a high class
station wagon, while also offering a versatility which satisfies the
tastes and demands of the modern lifestyles of world.

Interior of the Alfa Spider
is gorgeously sophisticated, thanks to the use of
sumptuous materials and added value features (as standard, depending
on the version): from the automatic dual-zone climate control to the
steering wheel mounted radio controls, from VDC to cruise control.
Available in two versions, the client can choose his or her Alfa
Spider to be fitted with the sparkling 185 bhp 2.2 JTS engine or the
powerful 260 bhp 3.2 JTS. The new Alfa Romeo Spider is a generously-sized two-seater –
71.4 inches wide, 171.4 long and 53.3 high – characterized by
elongated rear lights and four exhaust terminals which accentuate
the impression of great temperament.
Lastly, the Alfa Romeo Spider ensures outstanding dynamic
performance thanks to high double wishbone suspension at the front
and Multilink at the rear. Along with great ride comfort, the Alfa
Spider boasts a sporty configuration and the use of state of the art
‘Q4’ four wheel drive (available on the 260 bhp 3.2 version).
What’s more – like the saloon version which was recently awarded
5 prestigious Euro NCAP stars – the two Alfa Romeo models once
more confirm the utmost attention which goes into all aspects
regarding safety, as well as offering the most sophisticated
electronic vehicle dynamic control devices.
The Alfa Spider is a Sleek, decisive styling
combined with technologically advanced engines with enormous
character and encapsulates an entire history of great
‘open-tops".
