-'''Spyder''' or '''Spider''' is an [[Italian]] term for a [[convertible]] [[car body style]].
-The term derives from horse-drawn carriages, as do [[car body styles|other automotive terms]].  A spider phaeton was a lighter version of a [[phaeton body|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 [[Ferrari Spyder]] &mdash; the name implied an extremely rudimentary top mechanism.  Other later spyders include the [[Fiat 850]], numerous [[Ferrari]]s, [[Maserati]]s, the [[Lamborghini]], and the [[Alfa Romeo]] Spider.
-In more recent times, the term has been used by many automakers as a [[synonym]] for [[convertible]].  Examples include the [[Alfa Romeo Brea]],  [[Lamborghini Gallardo]], and the [[Ferrari 360]].
