The Abarth 124 is the feisty Italian take on the modern two seat roadster, blending classic Spider style with genuine performance attitude. Based on the Fiat 124 Spider platform and sharing its fundamentals with the Mazda MX-5, the Abarth version adds a turbocharged 1.4 litre MultiAir engine, sharper suspension, Brembo braking hardware, a limited slip differential and a rorty Record Monza exhaust that gives it a character all its own. Its long bonnet, short rear deck and lightweight rear wheel drive layout make it a proper driver’s car, while the aggressive bumpers, scorpion badges and optional heritage style bonnet treatment nod to Abarth’s rally heritage.

There is a great story behind the name, too: the original Fiat 124 Abarth Rally of the 1970s was a competition favourite, taking stage wins in the World Rally Championship and helping cement Abarth’s reputation for extracting serious speed from compact Italian machines. The modern Abarth 124 continues that spirit, and even returned to rallying with the 124 Rally R-GT, a rare sight in an era dominated by hatchbacks. For owners, it is a car that rewards careful maintenance and tasteful upgrades.
