4Cよりも次期スパイダー！？

どうやらアルファスパイダーの次期モデルリリースが2014年ごろになりそうな様子。
やはりベースになるのは、去年のジュネーブショーで展示された2uettottantaか。ピニンファリーナの粋を集めたデザインの美しさにはため息が出る。出来るだけこの雰囲気は活かしてもらいたいものだ。この予想画像はイマイチな感じだが。

もう１台気になるのは4Cの方だが、どうやらエンジンの排気量を増やして馬力アップの方向らしい。1750のジュリエッタ用のエンジン流用で全く構わないのに。それにより、値段も結構跳ね上がる傾向だろう。
そうなると、わが愛車の次期車種候補の本命はアルファスパイダーか！？

Alfa Romeo stopped production of their Spider model in 2010, but a leaked internal document has revealed that the Spider will be headed back intot he scene in 2014. The new Spider will be one of the models Alfa Romeo will offer as part of their return to the US market, an obvious move considering the Spider’s previous success on our side of the pond.

The 2014 Alfa Romeo Spider will take its design inspiration from the 2uettottanta revealed by Pininfarina at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. However, unlike the 2uettottanta Concept, the production version Spider will have to adopt a more "road-going" design language. This will include the addition of bigger and higher headlamps with LED lights, as opposed to the previously used in the concept. Larger air intakes will also be added, among other things.

As for the engine options, Alfa Romeo may choose to use a four-cylinder turbocharged engine featuring Multi-Air infusion system with direct injection. There are also rumors stating that the next Spider may get a V-6 twin-turbo engine.
