Spider-R
Labour of love
Built from the chassis up using the finest materials and components, each Spider-R receives more than 3,500 hours of love and fastidious attention to detail.
Our unrivalled knowledge and expertise in restoring and racing the 101 & 105 series has cemented our intimate understanding and appreciation of what makes the cars so special. This enables us to create the ultimate evolution of Alfa Romeo’s Pininfarina designed 101 & 105 series Spider whilst retaining their enduring character and flair.
OUR TEAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH YOU THROUGH EACH STAGE OF THE BUILD PROCESS, HONING EVERY DETAIL TO CREATE YOUR PERFECT CAR.
Spoilt for Choice
Each Spider-R is tailored to meet your requirements. How ever you plan to drive your car, we offer a wide range of innovations to choose from.
These span options for engine, brakes, suspension and damper valving, through to upholstery choices, seat styles and other comforts.
Performance First
Our ongoing research and development programme means that there are an ever-evolving and extensive range of upgrades available to tailor your Spider-R specifically to you.
A Unique Driving Experience
Spider-R is driven by our philosophy to take those elements that make the 101 & 105 series Spider so special and enhance those characteristics to create the purest and most exhilarating driving experience ever.
Features
We always strive to create the finest engineered components, worthy of the Alfaholics-R brand. Whether seeking improvements to performance, strength, reduced weight or durability, we select the optimum grade materials and employ state of the art manufacturing processes to craft the very best parts for your 105 series Alfa Romeo.
Our willingness to embrace modern technology, combined with an intimate knowledge of the cars and their inherent character, means we are able to continually innovate through our ongoing research and development programme.
Suspension
Re-engineered with optimised geometry and improved design, our suspension setups deliver increased grip, stunning handling balance and enhanced levels of feel and sophistication, while retaining the unique character and feel.
Exhaust
A dyno-developed exhaust carefully optimised to deliver maximum power and strong low to mid-range torque, tuned to release the glorious sound of the Alfa twin cam engine.
Gearbox
From optimised gear ratios to strengthened selectors and synchromesh components, we have re-engineered the 105 series gearbox to provide lightning fast shifts, perfect rev drops and improved durability to suit upgraded engines.
AXle
The mainstay of the 105 series, we have re-engineered the live axle to feature an advanced limited slip differential to maximise traction, titanium tubes to minimise weight and optimise geometry and a billet sump for increased oil capacity and cooling.
Rigorous Development
Our Spider-Rs have undergone over 20 years of rigorous development to hone performance, ride and handling, refinement and durability. A key part of this programme centred around the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife, with extensive track testing at Silverstone and thousands of miles on the notoriously tortuous roads across the Welsh mountains.
