The original 1966 Spider shape was the result of a number of Pininfarina design studies, concept cars showing traits incorporated in the final production design.

The first one was the Alfa Romeo Superflow , a concept car built on the chassis of a retired 6C 3000 CM racing car and first shown at the 1956 Turin Motor Show , designed by Aldo Brovarone .

Alfa Romeo’s Series 4 Spider launched in 1990, with Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection, full-width body-coloured plastic bumper fascias, an electric cooling fan, full-width rear taillights, on-board diagnostics an optional automatic transmission —while eliminating the much criticized front under-bumper and rear trunk-lid spoiler of previous series.

Production of the original Spider design family ended in 1993.

An all-new Alfa Spider was presented one year later.
