Fiat 124 Spider Unveiled at LA Auto Show
The Fiat 124 Spider was unveiled at the LA Auto Show on November 18, and the small two-seater is getting props for it’s small size and cute design. The Fiat 124 Spider is named after the tiny convertible Fiat sold between 1966 and 1985, and it uses the same body building as the Mazda MX-5 Miata.
It Still Has the Classic Fiat Exterior and Engines
Despite looking cute, the Fiat 124 Spider was reviewed by analysts as being likely a lot of fun to drive. It’s a modern take on the classic Spider, whose initial concept actually originated from the ‘sporty’ line of horse drawn carriages in the 19th century, featuring a 1.4 liter turbocharged engine. It’s purely Italian at 160 horsepower, with six-speed manual and automatic transmission available.
Fiat 124 Spider is A Blast from the Past With a Punch
The new Fiat has a dual-port grille and a horizontal line that swipes up along the doors and rear fenders, which gives it a rather elegant look, with large horizontal taillights and dual exhaust pipes. This makes it a unique Fiat, whose signature look is always at the border of chic and cute, and a great fusion with its Japanese cousin, the Mazda M-5 Miata. It features the Miata’s gauges, size and storage capacity and controls, but it still manages to get the particular kind of engineering that only Fiat can bring. There’s no date attached to its release, nor are there details in regards to its fuel economy, but the Fiat 124 Spider is sure to entice a lot of driver enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
