"The Alfa Romeo is, more precisely, a 1986 Quadrifoglio Graduate Spider, in cherry red. Quadrifoglio refers to the car's four-cylinder, four-valve engine; Graduate, means it is a step up from the previous model; and Spider denotes a convertible. The year is also important, because 1986 is when the carburetor was replaced by fuel-injection."
