Alfa-Romeo Spider goes Hybrid

Restomod specialist Garage Italia has transformed a classic Alfa Romeo Spider into a hybrid. Designed as a tribute to the city of Milan and unveiled at Milan Design Week, the 1992 Spider S4 has undergone a “non-conservative restoration” to modernise it in almost every way. To the 2.0-litre fuel-injected Alfa engine has been added a hybrid Newtron energy recovery system with batteries to boost engine power.

Minor changes have been made to the bodywork, such as a new front bumper and rear spoiler, while many areas lightened and reinforced, and the lighting upgraded. The unique light blue paint is called GICMiramare. The cockpit features Poltrona Frau leather upholstery, a Sonus Faber 700W sound system and nautical-style wood panellin.
