About the Abarth 124 Spider
The Abarth 124 Spider is the result of a unique collaboration between Fiat and Mazda, sharing the ND-generation MX-5's chassis but featuring distinct Italian styling and a turbocharged MultiAir engine. Unlike the naturally aspirated Mazda, the Abarth offers a punchy mid-range and a characterful, raspy soundtrack courtesy of the standard Record Monza quad-exit exhaust. It features a mechanical limited-slip differential, Bilstein dampers, and Brembo brakes as standard, providing a sharper, more aggressive driving experience than its Fiat-badged sibling. While production ended in 2019, it remains a modern classic for those seeking a lightweight, rear-drive roadster with a more vocal personality.
