Presentation of the new Abarth 124 Spider in Geneva!

Post by rdv »

Hi there,
I found the first published article about the new Abarth 124 Spider from the auto fair in Geneva:
http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news ... 90197.html

The pics show us the new Abarth in classic white and red, but also a rally version in yellow+red!

Some teaser pics from that gallery:

Looks great!

Ciao,

I haven't been too impressed with the new Spider's bodywork, but the red and yellow Abarth is a real looker! Sign me up (but don't let my wife know!)

better have a lot more than 160HP with that kind of racy style and color combos, otherwise I am calling it a facade

Saw the car at the NY AutoShow... They had the red and black. I too was surprised it only had 160HP. When I saw the quad exhaust I expected more.

nothing that some software tuning can't take care of. that car with about 200 HP would really be a hoot. that is easily attainable with that engine.

this guy went nuts over the car

The downside is they used the 1.4T engine again, which sits at 160hp stock

The upside is they used the 1.4T engine again, which already has many proven upgrades and tuning options from the Abarth aftermarket vendors. A 200hp spider is already a realistic target.
