Fiat 124 Spider: an MX-5 masked as an Italian

Anonim

Fiat has launched two teasers for the Fiat 124 Spider, a revivalist-inspired model with its debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show. With the hashtag #FIATFOMO, the journey of the new Fiat 124 Spider to the “city of angels” begins.

The Italian brand's teasers appear in the form of postcards, one from Madrid and the other from Rome, and mark the beginning of the Fiat 124 Spider revelation campaign. So that they don't suffer until the model is fully revealed, we have placed a speculative image from the Indian Auto Blog on the featured image.

In terms of the interior and according to some images that have appeared online, an interior very similar to that of the new Mazda MX-5 is expected, with a large part of the differences in the exterior.

Remember that the Fiat 124 Spider is a revival of the original launched in the 60s. The technical basis will be the same as the Mazda MX-5 (suspensions, chassis and other peripherals), but the engines will be of Fiat origin. The Fiat 124 Spider is expected to use a 1.4 Multiair engine with around 180hp and longitudinal positioning.

It is known for now that Fiat will have the 124 Spider divided into two versions, one softer and the other more hardcore: the Fiat Abarth. This more powerful version will be able to use one of two possible engines: either it will use the 1.75 liter engine that we already know from the Alfa Romeo 4C, although it should be presented with less than 240 horsepower, or a new 1.5 Multiair Turbo engine that is hypothetically running. be prepared. But all this is just speculation.

While this entire plot is not officially confirmed, we will eagerly await the debut of the Fiat 124 Spider in Los Angeles, which will take place on November 17th.
