Description
The Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider Veloce was a high-performance version of the Giulia Spider, produced between 1964 and 1965. Designed by Pininfarina, it featured the same elegant and timeless bodywork as the standard Spider but with enhanced performance. Powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four DOHC engine with twin Weber carburetors, it produced 112 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, delivering a more spirited driving experience. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, it could reach a top speed of around 185 km/h, making it one of the quickest small roadsters of its time.
The lightweight construction and rear-wheel-drive layout ensured agile handling and precise steering, characteristics that made Alfa Romeo’s open-top sports cars highly desirable among enthusiasts. The interior featured a simple yet functional design with classic round gauges, a three-spoke steering wheel, and high-quality materials. As the most powerful version of the Giulia Spider, the 1600 Spider Veloce remains a sought-after classic, prized for its combination of performance, beauty, and driving pleasure.
