carphile's video: Alfa Romeo Spider S4 Engine Start - carphile co uk

In this video carphile.co.uk get to fire up the engine of a classic early-nineties Alfa Romeo Spider S4 sports car. The original Alfa Romeo Spider (Duetto) was released in 1996, made famous by Dustin Hoffman in the Graduate. The Spider S4 was released in 1990, nearly a quarter of a century after the original car was launched. Under the bonnet of this S4 is Alfa's 2.0 litre 4 cylinder twin cam engine, fitted for the first time in the S4 with Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection. With 127bhp on tap, enough to propel the 1,110kg car from 0-60 in 9.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 118mph. Driven through the rear wheels through either a 5 speed manual or (for the first time) a 3 speed automatic transmission. Alfa Romeo Spider S4 production ended in 1993 to be replaced by the All new (front wheel drive) Spider in 1995. The Spider S4 was the last rear-wheel drive Alfa Romeo until the 8c Competizione of 2007.
