This arrangement bolsters stability and responsiveness, particularly in corners and dynamic driving scenarios.

4. Convertible top for open-air freedom
The Spyder's manually operated, lightweight convertible top is a seamless blend of functionality and design. It's easy to operate and suitable for high-speed driving, smoothly fitting into the car’s sleek profile. The optional two-tone red and black roof, as part of the Spyder Classic package, adds an extra layer of exclusivity.
