They say that the fiat 124 spider is a clone version of a mazda mx-5 however we think differently it is an updated version of a classic fiat
The biggest difference between 124 and MX-5 is how grown up it feels. The two cars share the same chassis structure, suspension and rear-wheel drive transmission but Fiat has done its bit to make the car feel a little different.
Borrowing heavily from the looks of the Pininfarina-designed original, circa 1966, the 124 Spider is a stylish, if not exactly Italian, two-seat droptop. Its rival—Mazda’s MX-5 Miata—is also its main benefactor, donating its chassis, assembly line, and parts bin. But the 124 Spider does have a unique suspension and powertrain: a 160-hp 1.4-liter turbo four with either a six-speed manual or auto. The racy Abarth gets a sport-tuned exhaust, a limited-slip differential, and a boost to 164 hp.
