In 1962 Alfa Romeo began production of the "2600 Spider Touring", "106. 01" series, the lines of which derived directly from the "2000 Spider Touring", although the car was considerably improved in many aspects and in numerous details.
Commercially it was much more fortunate than the sedan version, in fact even in the face of a huge price for the period, the "2600 Spider" with 145 HP engine, had a style similar to that of the smaller Giulietta Spider, although by far more aristocratic.
Extremely pleasant is the line that recalls the most prestigious Ferraris of the time, not inferior to these for elegance, despite being a true four-seater.
It was a high-class spider intended for a small number of wealthy customers.
Elegantly finished, with excellent road holding and overall very high performance, it achieved good success thanks to numerous customer requests, so much so that from 1962 to 1966 a total of 2, 255 were produced.
The "2600 Spider Touring" differs from the previous "2000 Spider Touring" not only for the renewed mechanics, but also for numerous aesthetic aspects that distinguish it at first sight. It is in fact equipped with a single air intake on the bonnet, the front differs for the single front bumper), the front shield and the air intake grilles are also new.
The "2600 Spider" has a chromed front grille placed between the windshield and the bonnet, is fitted with door deflectors and the side is cleaner and the small side grilles disappear.
Among the paid accessories of this important spider there were already at the time the air conditioning, the hard-top (rigid roof in sheet metal), the electric windows and the leather seats.
The first 1310 examples of the "2600 Spider Touring" were offered with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, while the cars produced later came out with four-wheel disc brakes.
