The new Fiat 124 Spider is a two-seater sports car for which Fiat "jumped into bed" with Mazda. The accessible sexy curve roadster found its spiritual inspiration from its famous predecessor, and its architectural and technical inspiration from the legendary Mazda MX-5. It boasts an eye-catching shell of its own and will continue Fiat's story of cars with no top. We love the new Fiat 124 Spider, how about you?
New Fiat 124 Spider he really squinted at Mazda CX-5 of the fourth generation, but the fact that the same blood flows through them would not be noticed from the outside, because the new Fiat roadster (a two-seater without a roof) quite different from the cult Mazda (you could recognize its relatives by its silhouette, but in general its appearance is extremely self-reliance). They are with him Fiat nods to the original 124 Spider, with allusions to it found in the upper front air intake and bonnet bulge. The fresh roadster boasts with a canvas roof, "waving" the radiator grille on its nose, "looks" with round LED headlights, while the LED lights at the back are square, and the third brake light is under the bumper.
The drive was installed in the back and Mazda technology was added, which promises excellent and almost forgotten romantic driving characteristics, which are rapidly dying out due to electronic aids. Under the shell, the engineers hid 1.4 liter petrol turbo engine (MultiAir), which is also found in the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and the Fiat 500 Abarth, and creates 119 kW and 247 Nm of torque. Either automatic or manual is in charge of transferring power to the wheels 6-speed gearbox.

The interior of the new Fiat 124 Spider is mirror image of Mazda MX-5 cockpit (switches, screen, multitasking unit, multifunction button...), which is not necessarily a weakness (we doubt that Fiat could not develop the interior), rather an advantage. This kind an ascetic cabin namely, it enables maximum driving enjoyment, as it offers only the most necessary, without unnecessary distractions. Since it is practically a mapping, it is not surprising that the new Fiat 124 Spider will be produced in Japan, at the Mazda factory in Hiroshima. Despite the fact that it will say "Made in Japan", Fiat guarantees that it will exude genuineness Italian charm. We will find it in the showrooms in the summer of 2016, and the first 124 copies will carry the label Prima Edizione Lusso, unique plates with a number and special blue color.
