Geneva Motor Show Fiat 124 Spider features

The European version produces 20 PS less than its US counterpart.The European version of the Fiat 124 Spider which is visually a bit different from its US counterpart has made its motor show debut at the ongoing 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The stylish two-seat convertible is based on the latest generation of the Mazda MX-5.

However, there are absolutely no visual clues that reveal the sportcar’s roots. It may be a Japanese vehicle under the skin but Fiat has designed every single body panel from ground up to give the 124 Spider a completely different appeal and an authentic Italian flavor.

Powering the Europe-spec Fiat 124 Spider is the same 1.4-litre turbocharged direct injected petrol motor as the US version but the power outputs stand at 140 PS and 240 Nm of torque (20 PS and 9 Nm lesser).
