What is the Fiat 124 Spider?
The Fiat 124 Spider is a two-seat convertible roadster with a fabric roof and rear-wheel drive. Fiat revived the 124 Spider name for a modern car that paid tribute to the original 124 Sport Spider, pairing Italian styling with an open-air driving experience.
It was a distinctive model in Fiat’s range, with a traditional roadster layout and a turbocharged engine. The European version used Fiat’s 1.4-litre MultiAir turbo engine.
