It received more potent brother of the Fiat 124 Spider which we all were waiting for.

The new Mazda MX5 Fiat 124 Spider was in principle well received. Nice cart, achterwielaandrijver, manual 6-speed, roadster, completely fine. On the power after. Because the 124 was but with 1 motorization, the 1.4 MultiAir with 140 hp. That should be a bit stronger, was the complaint. Maybe it was time for a version of the Abarth?

And they listened, though, because see here the Abarth 124 Spider. With the same 1.4-tyou, that, only, they have now 170 hp and 250 Nm from know to make. And this is suddenly a much more enjoyable car. Because you are sitting in 6.8 seconds in the 100, and you can mixture up to 230. Switching can still be with the manual 6-speed, or you can choose for an automatic. For the better throw – and smijtwerk there is by default a sperdiff mounted and the Italians have Billstein shopping for the shock absorbers. Braking do you do with the products from Brembo. That sounds good! Just like the standard sports exhaust that they have been hung. That is going to fail also, nice way.

In terms of appearance, there is also a thing changed. The Fiat logo is gone and replaced by the well-known schorpioentje. there’s also a rear spoiler, a distinctive line on the side and the koelopeningen in the voorbumpers are a bit bigger. The wheels are standard 17 inch.

With its roll cage and other modifications approved by the FIA, thus there should be also real races are ridden. From next year, he is to purchase. For what price? That is, just as in the regular Abarth 124 Spider is not yet known.
