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. The previous Spider has been long criticized for its non-sporty appearance, but the new model will solve that problem, becoming a very serious competitor for models like the BMW Z4 and the Mercedes-Benz SLK. UPDATE 11/18/2011: According to Auto Express, the long-rumored two-seater Alfa Romeo sports car will have one model in its sights when the car finally hits production: the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Seeing as the MX-5 is considered the holy grail of two-seater sports cars, Alfa Romeo definitely has its work cut out for them if they hope to even get a sniff of the rarefied air the MX-5 enjoys. Alfa Romeo’s focus with Spyder is to develop a vehicle with a minimal total weight and compact dimensions. It will be built on a totally new chassis that will feature weight-saving technologies to help it weigh less than 2200 lbs, or about 220 lbs lighter than the current MX-5. For the engine, Alfa Romeo has borrowed a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol unit, detuned to a total of 150 HP. The new Spyder is rumored to be priced at around $40K. .

 I love how it was painted. The glossy red paint is very striking in a glance. The wheels are new design, and eye-catcher.
 Amazing design and platform! These roadsters look great in any color, but I prefer to use the yellow one. 
 The car looks powerful and good-looking because of the exterior and interior detailing. The body paint made the car so elegant and classy, the abstract design give the car attractive on that.
 The glossy body paint of this Alfa Romeo Spider makes their car so classy and sophisticated to look, but I just wonder if the interior of this car had also an impressive feature or amenities.
 I’m really amazed with the design and appeal that their car had. Moreover, I love the angst and the luxurious look of this car. Well, I would surely for the production of it.
 WOW! Looking at this car in four different colors make me smile like crazy. it’s so Cool! I’m satisfied with its engine. I think it will show a good performance. I will surely wait for its market release.
 It looks so luscious and elegant on its body paint, and I really admire the angst that this one has. I just only hope that it is not an electric vehicle which they are insisting to produce.
 It is really a long wait for this one, but I think it is worth waiting for, because it didn’t only a good-looking roadster but also a powerful vehicle. I just only hope that Alfa Romeo won’t disappoint its fan.
