This car’s hardtop cousin the Alfa Romeo Brera was arguably the best-looking coupe of its generation. Classic Pininfarina elegance was paired with Alfa’s resurgent front-end styling. That distinctive grille and triple-headlight snout won many admirers when it was first seen on the 159 at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005. The following year saw the open-top ‘Brera’ take centre stage again at the famous Swiss event, where it won the coveted ‘Cabrio of the year’ award.
Backing up the enviable styling were a choice of sporting powertrains. The entry-level (for the UK) was the front-wheel drive, 182bhp, four-cylinder model. However, no sporting Alfa range would be complete without a V6 engine. The legendary ‘Busso’ V6 was retired at the end of GTV production so a new GM engine – with Alfa cylinder heads and induction – filled in. Like the old Busso V6 it displaced 3. 2-litres, though power was now sent through four driven wheels (rare in the Busso era) making the new range-topping Spider more of a grippy and torquey tourer.
As desirable now as it was new, the Alfa Spider makes an extremely usable and handsome year-round drop-top. Its tight-fitting, hydraulically-operated roof, plush interior and well-behaved road manners making it an easy car to fall for.
