Information About

Spyder




Spyder or '''Spider''' is a term for a Convertible Car Body Style . In Paintball , the Spyder is a line of Paintball Marker s by Kingman Group

The term derives from horse-drawn carriages, as do Other Automotive Terms . A spider phaeton was a lighter version of a Phaeton , having narrower, spindly wheels and two-seat
accommodation. This term was subsequently applied to cars.

The first car to be officially called a "spyder" was the Porsche 550 Spyder — the name implied an extremely rudimentary top mechanism. Other later spyders include the Fiat 850 , numerous Ferrari s, later Porsche s, the Chevrolet Corvair , and the Triumph TR7 Spider.

In more recent times, the term has been used by many automakers as a Synonym for Convertible . Examples include the Toyota MR2 , Mitsubishi Eclipse , Lamborghini Gallardo , and the Mitsubishi 3000GT .
