THE ABARTH 124 Spider will go on-sale in Australia next month with prices starting at $41,990+ORC for the six-speed manual variant. FCA Australia has said it will also launch 100 limited-edition models that will list at no extra cost and be distinguishable by their contrasting bumper inserts, mirror caps and tow-hook covers, while inside each will be stamped with a special “1 of 100” metal plaque.

In addition to list pricing, FCA Australia has revealed drive-away pricing of $43,500 for the six-speed manual Abarth 124 Spider. An automatic version is also available with steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters priced at a $2000 premium.

The Abarth 124 Spider runs a 1.4-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 125kW at 5500rpm and 250Nm at 2500rpm.

“The Abarth 124 Spider is not just an amazing performance vehicle, but the return of one of the world’s most iconic nameplates to Australian roads,” says FCA Australia President and CEO Steve Zanlunghi.

“And we’re thrilled to reveal today that the most powerful vehicle in its class will offer incredible value in Australia, regardless of whether it’s in the performance-packed Abarth 124 Spider or the commemorative Launch Editions.”

      Says a bloke with a blurred picture…..
      No, really… are you serious?
      I would have thought the main downside would be the electronics/electrics..
      How come the Italians just can NOT get that right?

        Yeah I genuinely think that it’s a messy nugget. It just seems to be a mess of ideas chucked together, kinda like they got an MX5 to mount a SRT-10 Viper and the baby car fell through the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

          🙂 Quite funny really.
          I do like it though.. It is after all based upon an MX5. A sweet looking car if ever.
          I bet it will sell like hot cakes. Only trust the electrics are better this century.
