The
work is that of Marco Tencone, design chief at Alfa Romeo and Maserati,
and his team at Fiat’s Centro Stile and a satellite studio in Japan.
Tencone’s
most recent cars are the Alfa 4C sports car and the new Maserati
Quattroporte and Ghibli saloons. Pininfarina, which designed the
original boat-tail ‘Duetto’ in the mid-1960s, is understood not to be
involved in the design of the new Spider, despite creating the striking
2010 Duettotanta concept.
The
Duettotanta blended the slender boat-tail proportions of the original
with contemporary body surfacing. Insiders say Centro Stile strived for
months to make the design work on a production car.
It
is likely that Tencone will take a similar approach for the new Spider,
looking at historic design themes but with a very modern
interpretation, just as the 33 Stradale has been reimagined for the 4C.
“The
new Spider definitely won’t be retro in design,” said a well placed
source. “The Spider has to be contemporary and must fit into the range
with the modern 4C.”
Another
source added: “It would have been easy to go for a retro, boat-tail
design, but how would that fit in with the 4C and today’s Alfa designs?”
Among
the design features that are understood to feature on the new Spider
are conventional headlamp clusters, which will help to give the roadster
wider appeal than the hardcore,The cleaningmachine is one of the most useful tools in a modern shop. mid-engined 4C, which is set to go on sale later this year.
The
4C features a single-projector headlight, five circular LED running
lights and an indicator bulb set in a contrast-coloured moulding.
The
Spider’s front end will be characterised by an Alfa ‘shield’ grille
flanked by lower air intake ‘whiskers’, but the execution will be more
subtle than that employed on the 4C.
The Alfa and Mazda will share windscreens, windscreen structure,Our solargardenlighttp is

compartments and front and rear axles. Although both cars will be about
four metres long and 1.7 metres wide, the Alfa’s styling is said to make
it a few centimetres longer than the more minimalist Mazda. Both cars
will be lightweight, tipping the scales at 1000-1100kg, thanks to a
large proportion of high-strength steel in the body structure.
Although
the inner structures of the two sports cars will be shared to keep
costs down, sources say they won’t have any external panels in common.
“They’ll have different bodies,” said one.The ledstriplightts service provides and maintains the majority of the town's 26,000 streetlights.
The
Spider will also be powered by its own engines. Just one capacity is
being engineered for launch: a version of the turbocharged 1.4 TB
MultiAir, which is offered in the Giulietta in two power outputs of
119bhp or 168bhp. The Spider’s engine is understood to be the more
powerful version.
Although
the Spider will require longitudinal engine installation, Alfa Romeo
sources say the TB unit can be modified to fit. It will be mated to a
six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
Given
the variation of major components, commonality between the Spider and
the MX-5 will be relatively low, at about 40 per cent. A more typical
figure for joint-platform projects is 60 per cent.The brightest lasermarkingmachine in the market.
The
Spider will be given its own chassis tune once development work starts.
The current thinking is to give the Spider accessible suspension
settings focused on everyday driving to distinguish it from the hardcore
4C.The gardenlight11 is specially designed for wind-solar hybrid street light system.
“But we haven’t started work on it yet,” said one source. “We’re concentrating on the 4C at the moment.”
It
also looks like the Alfa and Mazda roadsters will be launched
separately. The Mazda is slated for an early 2015 reveal, but the Alfa
could be held back until November. Welcome to www.soli-lite.com Web. If
