Built by Alfa Romeo, the Giulia Spider was produced from 1962 to 1965 and can be considered the evolution of the Giulietta Spider, from which it takes the main aesthetic lines of the highly successful design. The Giulia was equipped with a longitudinally-mounted inline four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1,570 cc, more powerful than the previous 1,300 cc engine used in the Giulietta. The adoption of the new engine required modifications to the front hood, which also became a distinctive and characterizing element.
Aesthetic improvements were also made to the interior, steering wheel, and instrumentation. The transmission was based on a synchronized five-speed gearbox. It was produced in two versions: the “normale” with 92 HP and the “veloce” with twin carburettors providing 112 HP. It achieved good commercial success and was particularly appreciated for its unmistakable “made in Italy” design.
