The Fiat 124 Spider is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive two-seater roadster introduced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles at the 2015 LA Auto Show ahead of its 2016 market launch.[3]
The 124 is heavily based on the fourth generation Mazda MX-5 roadster, and manufactured alongside it at Mazda's Hiroshima plant in Japan — differing by a Fiat-designed and built turbocharged engine, as well as exterior styling.[3]
Both the car's name and details of its exterior design recall Fiat's Pininfarina-designed 124 Sport Spider (1966–85).[4]
Abarth 124 Spider & Abarth 124 Spider Rally
At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show Fiat revealed the Abarth performance version of the 124 Spider along with the Abarth 124 Spider Rally, which is a special rally version of the car.

Specifications
The 124 Spider is powered by Fiat's 1.4-litre MultiAir turbocharged inline-four. In European specification the engine has an output of 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp) and 240 N·m (177 lb·ft) of torque;[1] while the version for North American markets produces 160 hp (119 kW; 162 PS) and 184 lb·ft (249 N·m) of torque.[2]
Limited editions
From the beginning there will be available a Limited Edition Fiat 124 called 124 Spider Anniversary. Only 124 units will be made, commemorating 50th anniversary of its predecessor. Exclusive features include chromed mirrors, red '124' badge on the front grille and limited edition numbered plaque in the interior. Available only with red paint and black leather seats with '124 Spider Lusso' trim.[5]
Marketing
A commercial for the 124 featuring American actor Charlie Sheen was filmed but shelved before its debut at the 2015 LA Auto Show, as headlines of Sheen's positive HIV diagnosis coincided with the event.[6]
