In 2016, Abarth<\/a> shook up the automotive world with the unveiling of a new model: the Abarth 124 Spider,<\/strong> a \"sporty\" version of the Fiat 124 Spider, which had seen the light of day a year earlier. This model was designed on the Mazda MX-5 platform, but with Abarth's distinctive touch: a 170 hp Fiat 1.4L engine, accompanied by a Recond Monza 4-pipe exhaust system. The result was a car with a playful attitude and a sound reminiscent of Abarth's greatest creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, despite its features, the model was not as successful as had been hoped. Perhaps priced too high at \u20ac40,000 at the time, or perhaps a poorly targeted market, production of the 124 Spider Abarth ended in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before this premature end, Abarth had already prepared a more extreme version dedicated to motor racing: the Abarth 124 GT4.<\/strong> This model was to mark the brand's entry into professional competition, notably in the Italian GT4 Championship and the GT4 European Series. 2018 saw the appearance of a prototype of this car, observed during circuit testing. This vehicle sported an impressive aerodynamic body kit, with a wide diffuser and large rear spoiler. These features suggested that the car would deliver interesting performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
