Ever since Fiat announced they will be making a new sports car in collaboration with Mazda and based on their MX-5, we were eagerly waiting to see the end result. At first this car was supposed to be an Alfa Romeo, then it became the new Fiat Spider, and after that we got this, the Abarth 124 Spider, which is the best of the lot.

So while the launch of the Fiat made things complicated as to which one you should choose – the MX-5 or the Spider – Abarth 124 Spider comes and settle things nicely. It is the sportiest and most powerful, and therefore it is the best.

Abarth 124 Spider boasts such a delicious recipe and some seriously mouthwatering numbers. The highlights include a four-cylinder 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo engine with 170 horsepower, a mechanical limited-slip differential, dry wight of just 1,060 kg, a six-speed manual or the automatic Sequenziale Sportivo gearbox, 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8-seconds, top speed of 230 km/h, Record Monza exhaust, and Abarth styling with black hood and red accents as well as interior with Racing Alcantara and sport steering wheel.
