It has begun: Mazda MX-5 and Alfa Romeo Spider
We knew they were coming, but it feels good to see driving around the evidence on the street: under these mutilated Mazda MX-5 is the technology of the new, also known as Alfa Romeo Spider in the market.
It is a formula, so about the appearance of the car is unfortunately nothing to say. This package lets really see any of the lines of the new roadsters, but we can at least infer that one is working on it, from the cut and paste job and that in itself is very good news.
The test drivers were caught in the United States. For the Spider is symbolic: Alfa Romeo 4C uses the recently introduced to mark the return to the U.S. market. Reportedly share two roadsters 40 percent of the parts. Those parts are the front and rear axles, engine compartment bulkhead, windscreen and the structure around it.
The result is that the appearance of the cars will hardly agree: they can by the Italians and Japanese call their own stamp on the cars pressing both a completely new body to provide. The motors are separately provided by the brands: Mazda choose 1.5 or 2.0 SkyActiv engines, Alfa Romeo is a compact petrol and the 1.4 MultiAir.
