This is a reluctant sale of my 2018 Abarth 124 Spider Manual Roadster, in Nero Cinema (Jet Black Metallic), as I've now bought a car that can take a child seat for my grandchildren, and don't have room in my garage for both. First registered in September 2019, it's always been garaged, has full service history and logbook and the paintwork looks stunning. This is a fantastic little roadster and by far the best car I've ever owned and only has 65,000 Km on the odometer.

Performance and Engineering
The Abarth 124 Spider is powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, distinguishing it from its Mazda MX-5 donor car, which has naturally aspirated engines. Abarth made several key changes to the suspension, brakes, and exhaust to provide a different driving experience from the Mazda.
• Engine: 1.4L MultiAir turbocharged four-cylinder petrol.
• Power: 125 kW at 5500 rpm.
• Torque: 250 Nm at 2500 rpm.
• Transmission: Available with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
• 0-100 km/h: 6.8 seconds (manual) or 6.9 seconds (automatic).
• Top Speed: 232 km/h (manual) or 229 km/h (automatic).
• Key Mechanical Upgrades: Features Abarth-tuned Bilstein dampers, stiffer anti-roll bars, a front strut tower brace, a mechanical limited-slip differential, and available Brembo brakes.
Features
The interior of the Abarth 124 is largely based on the Mazda MX-5, featuring a 7-inch MZD Connect infotainment screen controlled by a rotary dial.
• Interior: Heated front seats (leather or synthetic suede/leather mix), keyless entry and push-button start, climate control, and a 9-speaker Bose sound system.
• Exterior: Unique Italian styling with different body panels from the MX-5, quad-tip sports exhaust, 17-inch alloy wheels, and LED tail lights.
• Safety (Standard): Includes a reversing camera, four airbags, electronic stability control, and active pedestrian protection.
