What is the Abarth 124 Spider?

The Abarth 124 Spider is a two-seat convertible with a fabric roof. It brought Abarth’s sporting character to the Fiat 124 Spider, with a rear-wheel-drive layout and an open cabin. Abarth began as Carlo Abarth’s tuning and racing business, and the 124 Spider continued that link in a road car.

The Type 348 generation was sold from 2016 to 2019. Its two-seat, open-top format gave the model a distinct place in the Abarth range.
