- Official Touring registry places the first Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider prototype at the 1957 Turin Motor Show and describes its aluminium Superleggera construction. Canonical year corrected 1956→1957. Rodolfo Bonetto attribution is cleared because the reviewed primary/registry sources do not establish individual authorship for this prototype.
Engine & performance

- TECH 2026-10-20 — legacy Inline-6 corrected to Inline-4. The official Touring register identifies the Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider as a twin-cam four-cylinder model and documents the first aluminium Superleggera prototype at Turin in 1957. This establishes the model-level cylinder-layout baseline only; prototype-specific displacement, power, performance and tune are not inherited. Year 1957 and the existing individual-designer qualification remain unchanged.
