The 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce had a base price of $11,195 and was powered by a dual overhead cam four-cylinder aluminum engine offering 111 horsepower. The engine was mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and disc brakes were installed at all four corners. The price of the Spider Veloce rose by $2,000 over the prior year.

Standard equipment included an electronic tachometer, trip odometer, lighter, two-speed heater, hydraulic clutch, chrome exhaust, windshield washer, hand throttle, tilt steering wheel, and reclining bucket seats.
