The Alfa Romeo Spider isn’t really bothered about the recession and a clear confirmation is its bold pricing. But for once, there are one many reasons to defend that sticker price and therefore no one is actually complaining. Based on the globally acclaimed Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the Spider is a product unleashed because of the sheer demand.

The limited edition spider will have only 500 units and 35 of those are meant for the US market-imagine how sought after this version will be! And therefore, paying $299,000 will not be a hurting exercise. The price confirmed by Maserati North America makes the Spider the most expensive production Alfa Ever. We are certain that all of these cars will not just stick to the sticker price and could actually fetch even double the amount as the demand far exceeds the supply. [via Autoblog]
