Vehicle Description
1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio Verde (Clover) This Black on
two-tone Red and Grey Alfa Spider Quadrifoglio has been remarkably
well kept these past 26 years. The Quadrifoglio Verde (Green Four
leaf Clover) model was introduced in 1986, with many aesthetic
tweaks, including side skirts, mirrors, new front and rear
spoilers, hard rubber trunk mounted spoilers with integral 3rd
stoplight, unique 15? alloys and optional removable hardtop.
Different interior trim included blood red carpets and gray leather
seats with red stitching. QV was offered in only 3 colours: red,
silver and black. It was otherwise mechanically identical to the
standard Spider Veloce model, with a 1962 cc double overhead cam,
four-cylinder engine (twin two-barrel carburetors in Europe; North
American models retained the Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection
introduced for the 1982 model year except that the VVT mechanism
was now L-Jet activated) and five-speed manual transmission. The
interior was revised with a new center console, lower dash panels
(to meet U.S. regulations) and a single monopod gauge cluster (with
electronic gauges). For the North American market a model dubbed
the Graduate was added in tribute to the car�s famous appearance in
the 1967 film, The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman.
