Drive a 2000 Spider
The 2000 Spider is a two-seat, front-engine, rear-drive Italian roadster built 1971–1982. A twin-cam four sits up front, and a five-speed manual puts every shift in your hands. Want an Alfa Romeo rental with real vintage soul? This is the one to book.
On Turo, you book your 2000 Spider from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Each car has its own story after four decades, so check the listing for the exact year, seats, and fuel grade. Craving more vintage options? Browse classic car rentals across the US.

Timeless Pininfarina design
Pininfarina designed the Spider and assembled its first three series in Grugliasco, Italy, so the 2000 Spider carries that pedigree in every line. A 1970 restyle swapped the original round tail for a cut-off Kamm tail — the "Coda Tronca" — and freed up luggage space. It's a shape you'll want in every vacation photo.
Twin-cam character
The 2000 Spider takes its name from its engine. In 1971, a new 1,962 cc twin-cam inline-four arrived, and the 1750 Spider Veloce became the 2000 Spider Veloce.
In 1982 US trim, that engine makes 111 hp and 117 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers look modest next to a modern sports car, but the Spider weighs only about 2,549 lbs. (Light cars don't need big numbers to feel lively.)
What you'll notice most is how eagerly the engine pulls as you work through the gears. Pick a quiet back road, let the revs climb, and savor a sound that's pure vintage Italian. It's the heart of the car — and the reason you'll keep finding excuses for one more drive.
Open-air simplicity
The 2000 Spider is a two-seat roadster at heart, with a fold-down soft top and very little between you and the sky. Seat layouts can differ by year, so check the listing before you plan on extra passengers.
The Kamm tail helps with practicality. Its cut-off shape improved luggage space over the original round tail, giving you room for a weekend's worth of essentials.
Still, this is a compact classic, so pack light. Soft duffel bags squeeze into tight spaces better than hard-sided suitcases, and a light jacket keeps top-down evenings comfortable. Drop the roof, settle into the seat, and let every errand turn into the scenic route.
Stand out with a 2000 Spider
With only 38,379 built between 1971 and 1982, the 2000 Spider is a rare sight on today's roads. It's made for coastal drives, weekend getaways, photo shoots, and special occasions — moments when the car becomes part of the memory. Want more open-air options? Explore convertible rentals on Turo.
Top 2000 Spider features
Rear-wheel-drive balance
Three things set the 2000 Spider apart once you're behind the wheel: its balance, its gearbox, and its heritage.
The 2000 Spider follows the classic sports car recipe — engine up front, drive wheels in the back. That front-engine, rear-drive layout gives the car a balanced feel, with the front wheels steering and the rear wheels pushing.
A short 88.6-inch wheelbase keeps the Spider nimble. It changes direction quickly on winding roads, and you'll feel the car rotate around your seat as you turn in.
That compact footprint pays off in town, too. Narrow coastal roads, tight neighborhood streets, and snug parking garage spots all feel more manageable in a car this small. It's a roadster that rewards smooth inputs and makes even a short loop around town feel like an occasion.
A genuine five-speed manual
Every 2000 Spider came with a five-speed manual — it's the only way this car was built. You choose the gear, time the clutch, and set the pace yourself.
That hands-on connection is a big part of the appeal. The gearbox links you directly to the twin-cam four up front, so each upshift and downshift feels like part of a conversation with the car.
Expect a mechanical feel that differs from a modern manual. Shifts reward patience over speed, and a smooth, deliberate hand makes the whole drive more enjoyable. (You'll find more on that in the driving tips below.) If you love driving stick, this gearbox alone is worth the trip.
Racing-tinged heritage
The 2000 Spider belongs to a long and well-loved line. The Spider (105/115 series) sold 1966–1994 across four series, so the 2000 Spider sits right in the middle of a 28-year run.
Special editions show its cult status. The 1974 Spider-Targa had a run of fewer than 2,000 cars, and the 1978 Niki Lauda special edition added a famous name to the lineup.
US buyers got their own version, too: the fuel-injected Spider Veloce 2000 Iniezione. When you slide behind the wheel, you're joining a story that spans nearly three decades of open-top driving. Few classics give you that much history in such a small, approachable package.

Get to know your 2000 Spider
A little prep goes a long way with a classic: read the listing closely, brush up on your manual skills, and budget for vintage pricing.
Start with the listing — it shows you the year, seats, fuel grade, and any notes from the local vehicle owner. Classic cars vary by year and upkeep, so those details matter more than they would on a modern car.

2000 Spider driving tips
Drive the 2000 Spider like the vintage car it is — smoothly, patiently, and attentively. Keep these tips in mind:
Get comfortable with a manual before your trip, since there's no automatic option.
Expect heavier steering at low speeds, especially when parking.
Leave extra braking distance compared with a modern car.
Shift gently and give the gearbox time to engage.
Stay alert, since the car has no modern driver-assist technology.
How much does it cost to rent a 2000 Spider?
Prices vary by listing, because each local vehicle owner sets their own rate. At the time of writing, one 1974 2000 Spider in Los Angeles listed at $300 per day.
Many listings also offer discounts on longer trips, so check weekly and monthly pricing before you book. Planning an extended stay? Explore long-term car rental on Turo.
