- Fiat 124 Spider returns nearly 50 years after original introduction
- Joint venture sports car with Mazda
- Powered by turbocharged MultiAir 1.4-litre engine for 119kW and 250Nm, available with manual or automatic
transmission
The new Fiat 124 Spider revives the iconic nameplate, bringing its classic Italian styling and performance to a new
generation.
Paying homage to the original 124 Spider nearly 50 years after its introduction, the new Fiat 124 Spider delivers the
ultimate Italian roadster experience with driving excitement, technology and safety combined with iconic Italian
design.
Engaging driving dynamics through thoughtful engineering
In North America, the Fiat 124 Spider is available with the proven 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo four-cylinder engine, the
engine’s first application in a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. The engine delivers 160 horsepower (119kW) and 184 lb.-ft.
(250Nm) of torque, and is available with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission.
The 124 Spider’s suspension uses a double-wishbone lay out in front and a multi-link in the rear, specifically tuned
for greater stability while braking and turning. Steering is light and responsive with the use of an electric power
assist (dual pinion) system.
The steering and suspension set-up, lightweight frame, balanced weight distribution and turbocharged engine combine
for a dynamic driving experience. Noise vibration and harshness (NVH) enhancements, including an acoustic front
windshield and insulation treatments, also help to deliver a refined, quiet ride.
For an open-air driving experience, the Fiat 124 Spider’s soft convertible top is easy to operate and requires minimal
force.

Loaded with safety, security and technology features
The all-new roadster is available with an array of safety and security features, including adaptive front headlamps,
Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection and ParkView reversing camera. A high-strength body helps to dissipate
energy while optimising occupant protection.
The Fiat 124 Spider is also available with technology features for added comfort and convenience, including the Fiat
Connect 7.0 system with 7-inch touchscreen display, multimedia control, Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats and Keyless
Enter ‘n Go.
A Bose premium sound system with nine speakers, including dual headrest speakers, is also available for superior sound
quality even with the top down.
Design pays homage to past with modern interpretation of styling cues
The all-new Fiat 124 Spider, designed at Centro Stile in Turin, Italy, borrows cues from the original Spider – widely
considered one of Fiat’s most beautiful cars of all time – and reinterprets them for today.
The 2017 124 Spider has a timeless low-slung presence, with a classically beautiful bodyside, well-balanced
proportions and a sporty cabin-to-hood ratio. Features like the hexagonal upper grille and grille pattern, “power domes”
on the bonnet and sharp horizontal rear lamps call to mind details of the historic Spider.
The interior is crafted and designed to focus on the occupants, with premium soft-touch materials throughout.
Ergonomics were applied to emphasise the driving experience and ensure easy operation of the steering wheel, pedals and
shifter while driving.
The Fiat 124 Spider is available in two trim levels: Classica and Lusso. Each model is available in six exterior paint
colours, including Rosso Passione (Red Clear Coat), Bianco Gelato (White Clear Coat), Nero Cinema (Jet Black Metallic),
Grigio Argento (Gray Metallic), Grigio Moda (Dark Gray Metallic) and Bronzo Magnetico (Bronze Metallic). The Lusso
(“Luxury”) model is also available in tri-coat Bianco Perla (Crystal White Pearl).
Special edition gives enthusiasts the chance to own one of the first Fiat 124 Spiders
To celebrate the return of the classic nameplate, the first 124 vehicles will be offered as a limited-edition Prima
Edizione Lusso, as shown at the 2015 Los Angeles Motor Show. Each will be individually numbered with a commemorative badge
and available in exclusive Azzurro Italia (Blue) exterior paint with premium
leather seats in Saddle.
American buyers who purchase a Prima Edizione will also receive limited-edition items, including wearables and a
poster.
