Abarth 124 Spider: the scorpion stung hard

Anonim

Rear-wheel drive, a ton of weight and an estimated power of 200hp. The Abarth 124 Spider will steal our sleep…

Abarth's scorpion will soon attack the Fiat 124 Spider – check out the details of this model here. The model is expected to be introduced in 2016 and, as with the Fiat 500, the result of that sting will translate into more power, a sportier design and a more radical driving experience.

For now we only know the “normal” version. Fortunately, OmniAuto did not want to wait for the revelation of the Abarth 124 Spider version and created a preview of the model (in the highlighted image), inspired by the characteristic features of the brand founded by Carlo Abarth: white bodywork, red stripes and the characteristic scorpion spread throughout. the bodywork.

The dark gray wheels were “borrowed” by the Abarth 695 and match perfectly with the red brake calipers. The addition of the front spoiler and air intakes make the Abarth 124 Spider a true sports car. For us, it can stay anyway!

In terms of engine, a significant improvement is expected. . For its 124 Spider, Abarth will use a revised version of the 1.75 liter Alfa-Romeo 4C engine, or as an alternative, the future 1.4 MultiAir engine family, both at a power level around 200hp. The gearbox will certainly be a six-speed manual unit, much to the taste of lovers of “old-school” driving.

The Abarth 124 Spider is expected to see the light of day in the second half of next year (no date for commercialization yet). A model that has everything going for it: the right chassis, powerful engine, and an overpowering look. Come from there that sting!
