GT5 Transcripts/Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto '66

The Spider 1600 Duetto was a successor to the Giulietta Spider, debuted at the Geneva Motor Shor in 1966. While the subname of the vehicle, Duetto, was chosen through a public vote, it is actually a perfectly suitable moniker for a two-seater Spider. The new Spider Giulietta quickly became famous after being driven by the actor Dustin Hoffman in the major Hollywood movie, "The Graduate." 
The greatest attraction of this car is its unforgettable, flowing body. In contrast to the classic feel of the Giulietta Spider, this Spider 1600 Duetto has a modern style. Designed by Pininfarina, the long rear tail in particular, is distinctively and beautifully rounded. 
However, this tail end caused aerodynamic problems, and the design was changed in later models. The long sloping styling is a treasure only held by this Duetto. Its engine was a DOHC inline-4 that produced 108 HP. The body was reinforced in order to compensate for making it a convertible, which made it heavier. But even with its increased weight it still achieved a top speed of 115 mph. 
The Spider 1600 Duetto went through numerous minor changes and remained in production even after other Giulia series cars had vanished. In 1968 the engine was enlarged to 1,750 cc and the name was changed to Giulia Spider Veloce. The engine was enlarged again in 1971 to 2.0 liters, and amazingly, its production continued until 1993.
