The Fiat 124 Spider is a front-engine, rear-drive two-passenger roadster debuted by FCA at the 2015 LA Auto Show for model year 2016. Largely based on the fourth generation Mazda MX-5 roadster and manufactured alongside it at Mazda's Hiroshima plant, the 124 shares its platform, mechanicals, interior, top mechanism and windshield with the MX-5, while featuring a Fiat-engineered and manufactured turbocharged Multiair engine, unique exterior styling and slightly increased length and cargo capacity over the MX-5. . The 124 Spider is powered by Fiat's MultiAir turbocharged inline-four, producing 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp) and 240 N·m (177 lb·ft) of torque[1] in European specification—and 160 hp (119 kW; 162 PS) and 184 lb·ft (249 N·m) of torque in North American specification. Multiair is a hydraulically-actuated variable valve timing (VVT) engine technology enabling "cylinder by cylinder, stroke by stroke"control of intake air directly via a gasoline engine's inlet valves. Developed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies, the technology bypasses a primary engine inefficiency: pumping losses caused by restriction of the intake passage by the throttle plate, used to regulate air feeding the cylinders. The Abarth 124 Spider is a performance version of the 124 Spider Abarth. It was introduced at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show along with the Abarth 124 Spider Rally racing car.[19] Final assembly of the car takes place in the Officine Abarth in Turin, Italy, where the model-specific parts are installed on the Japanese-built roadster.[19][20] The Abarth version carries over the MultiAir Turbo engine, upgraded to deliver 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) and 250 N·m (184 lb·ft) of torque. Top speed is 232 km/h (144 mph), and accelerating from standstill to 100 km/h takes The Abarth 124 Spider Rally is a rally version of the 124 homologated in the FIA R-GT category. It has a turbocharged engine with 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) at 6,500
