Described by the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, a new car brand reaffirms excellence in this sector, as shown by some Spider is considered the most beautiful cars in global automotive history. Cars such as the Giulietta Spider from the 50 myths or duet made famous by "The Graduate" in 1967 by a young Dustin Hoffman. Today is the turn of the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider to take the stage and into the future values of technology and emotion which include Alfa Romeo legacy.
Clearly, the new vehicle inherits all the features the winners of the Coupe version. Starting with two setup "sport seats" and the exterior lines of interest, which is characterized by finely designed statues and bodywork, "dress" the automotive and mechanical excellence model.
In detail, the marked dynamics of the vehicle are highlighted by the horizontal groove "built" on the cap on the wheel. Oversize wheels and powerful "muscles" of the rear mudguard accentuate the personality and power of the model, without diminishing the elegance of the liquid line. Instead, they highlight the formal beauty of the unique characteristics of the external: the "water droplet" mist like a precious jewel in the front fenders, front LED, a synthesis of technology and rationality, and the essential door handle.2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider
In addition, in the future, we can find the characteristic Alfa Romeo stylings, with a new interpretation of "whiskers" and shield. Not to mention that this innovative range anticipates the elements and proportions of future Alfa Romeo cars, always in full respect of the historical heritage of the brand.
Need to note that in order to achieve high levels of areo-dynamic efficiency, solutions which are not limited to the design of the form has been adopted on the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider. All surface and profile uprights and windows, and mirrors the shape and position have been optimized using computer models and wind tunnel testing and real-life environment. As a result, the air flow around the vehicle to follow a natural path, hindered by the corners and irregularities. The end result is a negative LC (lift coefficient) which like competition vehicles, contributes to stability at high speeds.
But the peculiarity of this vehicle is the hooded top fitted with electro-hydraulic automatic control (controllable via a button on the dashboard). Close on the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider consists of two overlapping sheets: the external one is made of multi-thread textile which can withstand the elements, while the interior has great soundproofing qualities. In addition, the cap on the roof, available in various colors, has been perfected aesthetically, aerodynamically and for acoustic comfort. It has also been perfected from a functional point of view, with specially developed roll of film that makes it more agile, fast and safe operation explanation.
Inside, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider guarantees sophisticated environment, thanks to the use of composite materials are most on the dashboard and internal panels, as well as the use of anatomical seats, produced in carbon fiber, which can be tailored to the physical characteristics of the driver (so far, this function is only available for racing cars). Furthermore, for maximum possible personalization of the interior, customers can choose between different environments and aesthetic solutions. All are distinguished by attention to detail and workmanship: from the contrasting stitches, color tones and exclusive matching. Bucket seats covered in Frau flower leather (an exclusive and innovative treatment of the canvas, where the skin is bound to natural fibers, creating a look of great visual impact).
Similarly, in the same care has been taken in realizing the outside: alloy wheel brake calipers, every detail can be selected for your particular design, because every Alfa Romeo 8C Spider will probably look like him. A car that is uniquely tailored to the personality of its owner. Spiders are unique and not reproducible Alfa Romeo 8C pleasure to announce a sporty drive with full respect for the heritage of the brand.
As in the best Alfa Romeo tradition, hidden under this "dress" enough is the best of what's available in the field of mechanics and propulsions. First, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider has a rigid and light structure (the compact frame is made of steel for maximum torsion to guarantee that the drive is always precise and sure, while the body is carbon fiber). We face a choice motivated by the need to minimize weight, but also to optimize the center of gravity for agility and drive-ability in the most demanding programs.
Still under the banner of sophisticated technology, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider adopts the new "8 cylinder mated to a 6-speed transmission 90 °" and the capacity of 4691 cm3 which has been designed with the specific aim: to ensure extraordinary performance without sacrificing the fluidity of the gearshift or the ease of use in the context of driving. Like so many, a powerful and progressive propulsion is born with a maximum power of 450 hp at 7,000 rpm and maximum torque of 7500 rpm. This engine mated to an auto-shifting 6-speed (with computerized selection of gear with the lever behind the steering wheel), and units of limited slip differential.
As in the legend of Formula 1 vehicles of 50 years, Alfa Romeo 8C Spider sports transaxle design that ensures the best balance of weight in the partition. Propulsion is placed in the back while the gearshift is placed behind all the differences and hydraulic motor unit. Transaxle design predicts a close relationship between motor and gearshift, which is equipped with self-locking differential. The two groups are connected by tubular elements, inside which rotates the transmission driving shaft: in this way that the load is distributed optimally between the front and rear suspension.
So much power could be entrusted to an excellent braking system: the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is equipped with carbo-ceramic Brembo (CCM), 380 mm at the front wheels and 360 mm at the rear wheels. This solution guarantees a powerful brake action even in the most intense use. Marked decrease in body weight compared with traditional organizations, supported by the reduced mass of the vehicle and improve the dynamic performance and driving comfort. Also, monobloc calipers guarantee maximum rigidity and minimal deformation, given the high loads generated by the pressure on the brake piston.
Therefore, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider "declares itself Alfa" all the way, confirming control and driving fun without compromise. Historically, material comfort and dynamic performance are qualities specific to Alfa Romeo: in this case, they have become a real strong points. Thank you for, for example, suspensions, which provides a high wishbone suspension with brackets and the number of forged aluminum, which acts as an additional buffer to control the alignment.
Also contributing to the brilliant road control are specially developed 20 "tires for excellent performance, tires are:. Suspension front and rear suspension of 245/35 285/35 Mounted on wheels perforated aluminum liquid was formed to ensure maximum effectiveness of the light and ventilation of the brakes . Lastly, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider uses evolved VDC Alfa Romeo traction and stability system, which ensures the driver feels in harmony with his car.
