ABARTH 124 Spider in the works

YES!



Although the coupe probably won't make commercial production, it may be Abarth's return to WRC! Source: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/abarth/201 ... 71929.html

Ka ching, ka ching!

Could be fun if they don't go overboard with the graphics, ala mid 70's Firebird.

There's so much potential for an absolute Beast! I just hope it's not priced out of Fiat customers' budgets

I have to give it to FIAT, they made Abarth a name people in the USA now recognize. When they were here before no one knew what the heck it was. They created a legend where none existed before.

Really good point! Good marketing result.

Many people did know what an Abarth was. It was not a Fiat but many Abarths were made from Fiats and other marques. Fiat was just a handy platform to work with.

There was really no way to modify an Abarth, you could do no more.

It would be fun if Fiat got serious and built a real Rally car with factory support again. The new cars are fun but to me (and other old people) they are not Abarths.
