Abarth 124 Spider at Geneva Motor Show 2016
The Abarth sports car: the lowdown
Launching in September 2016, the new Abarth 124 Spider will be priced from €40,000 in Europe (around £31,000). It’s been breathed on by the Abarth racing team: its 1.4-litre MultiAir turbo produces 168bhp and 184lb ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels via a mechanical limited-slip differential.
It’s enough, claim the Italians, for 0-62mph in 6.8sec and a top speed of 143mph. A sports exhaust is fitted to provide a fruitier soundtrack, despite the diminutive capacity. As well as the Mediterranean couture, the turbocharging is one of the key differences between the naturally aspirated Mazda.
Abarth quotes a 1060kg kerbweight and 50:50 distribution of mass; combined with some chassis tweakery including Bilstein dampers and stiffer anti-roll bars, it should give the MX-5 foundations subtly different handling characteristics to its Japanese brethren.

Brakes inside the 17in wheels are by Brembo, while buyers can pick a six-speed manual or Sequenziale Sportivo paddle-shift automatic. Each 124 carries a numbered Abarth plaque and can be specced with a matt black bonnet and bootlid finish to complement the rally-referencing paint jobs, and Alcantara cabin upholstery.
