Abarth 124 Spider:
The Fiat 124 Spider is a sports car which was made by Mazda and sold by Fiat from 2016 until 2019. It is a two-seater roadster with a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The result of a partnership between Mazda and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles , the 124 Spider is largely based on the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 roadster and was manufactured alongside the MX-5 at Mazda's factory in Hiroshima.
The 124 Spider shares its platform, mechanicals, interior and top mechanism with the MX-5 but is differentiated by its exterior styling, a turbocharged FCA Multiair engine, retuned shock absorbers, and its nominally-increased length and cargo capacity over the MX-5. The 124 nameplate and exterior styling details recall the Pininfarina-designed Fiat 124 Sport Spider, manufactured from 1966 to 1985. It debuted at the 2015 LA Auto Show, and was sold in North America for model years 2017-2020. Just over 41,000 were produced....(Read more on Wikipedia)
