Description
The Alfa Romeo Fastback Spider, also known as the Alfa Romeo Spider Fastback, refers to a particular variant of the Alfa Romeo Spider produced during the 1970s. This version of the Spider was notable for its design, featuring a unique, more angular and squared-off rear end compared to the traditional rounded tail of earlier models.
Introduced in the 1970s, this fastback-styled Spider was a departure from the classic rounded design of previous Alfa Romeo Spiders. It had a redesigned rear section, often referred to as the "Kamm tail" due to its inspiration from the work of German aerodynamicist Wunibald Kamm. This design was intended to improve aerodynamics and stability at higher speeds.
The fastback Spider retained the overall styling cues and characteristics of the original Spider but featured a more angular rear deck and a truncated tail compared to the earlier rounded tail models. This design change aimed to enhance the car's performance and aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining the Spider's iconic appearance.
Under the hood, the fastback Spider featured various engine options, including inline-four engines with different displacements, delivering spirited performance and engaging driving dynamics characteristic of Alfa Romeo sports cars.
The fastback-styled Spider remained in production for a period before subsequent iterations of the Alfa Romeo Spider evolved with different design elements and modifications.
While this fastback version wasn't as iconic as the earlier rounded-tail Alfa Romeo Spiders like the Duetto, it remains an interesting and distinct part of the Spider's lineage, showcasing Alfa Romeo's willingness to experiment with design while retaining the essence of their sports car heritage.

Pricing
At present, our inability to furnish pricing online stems from the dynamic nature of global economics, which has led to substantial fluctuations in the costs of parts and materials on a day-to-day basis. The intricate interplay of market forces, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors has rendered pricing incredibly volatile, making it challenging to provide accurate and up-to-date figures in real-time.
As we remain committed to offering fair and transparent pricing to our customers, we find it prudent to ensure that any pricing information reflects the current market reality, hence our decision to refrain from online pricing until we can reliably provide figures that align with the ongoing fluctuations in the global economy.
