On the Alfa Spider technology is harnessed to provide the control and exceptional stability of a true sports car.Alluminium alloys and high tensile extra-thick steel for the structural components.A crumple-zone body with excellent torsional rigidity.High strenght lateral impact beams.The car remains stable even during rapid or sudden manoeuvres,thanks to the suspension layout;independent at the front,multilink at the rear,with an aluminium allov frame.This layout exploits the transverse loads included on the car when steering,and optimises the working angles of the wheels.Variable assistance power steering.The result;improved performance and dynamic behaviour,perfect stability and roadholding,extraordinary control.An efficient,powerful braking system;four large disc brakes, diagonally spilt braking circuit,ABS with four channels and four sensors boosted by EBD brake effort distribution.Plus the sophisticated electronic dynamic control device,ASR(Anti Slip Regulation), which prevents the drive wheels from slipping when grip is poor,standard equipment on the 3.2 V6 and 2.0 JTS. All in a passenger compartment that is protected by airbags,seat-belts with electronic protensioners,a steering wheel with a telescopic columm and the Fire Prevention System.
