The standard 1.4L MultiAir® Turbo engine on the All-New FIAT® 124 Spider Abarth is the most powerful four-cylinder engine in its class+. It is highly responsive, with twin intercoolers, 16 valves and a fresh-air induction system. It achieves peak power—164 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque—at much lower RPMs than any vehicle in its class+.
The interior of the All-New FIAT® 124 Spider Abarth features a cockpit designed for performance. Heated premium leatherette and microfiber sport seats feature red accent stitching and are ergonomically designed to ensure a comfortable fit. Leather Alcantara Recaro seats are available. The sport steering wheel and sport shift knob are leather-wrapped. Matte gray accents enhance the sport instrument cluster.
Even the pedals on this vehicle are distinctive. Bright aluminum covers lend a racing look to the pedals.
The All-New FIAT® 124 Spider Abarth features a six-speed manual transmission with short-throw shifter. It optimizes clutch operation for responsive driving characteristics. The ergonomically positioned clutch pedal requires only a light amount of force, enabling precise control over the rate of acceleration. With steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the available six-speed automatic transmission delivers excellent performance, offering a more direct feeling in response to pedal operation.
124 Spider Abarth features a Bilstein® Performance Suspension with a front strut tower brace for exceptional handling. Shock absorbers help deliver maximum grip. Stiff front and rear spring rates minimize body roll, and a rear stabilizer bar helps increase cornering grip. Nearly 50/50 weight distribution gives you the confidence of control and a smooth, balanced ride.
