Fiat 124 Spider (2016)

The Fiat 124 Spider (Type 348) was a two-seat, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive roadster built by Mazda for Fiat and sold from 2016 to 2019, with North American sales for the 2017 to 2020 model years. It came out of a partnership between Mazda and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, in which a Fiat-badged car replaced the Alfa Romeo roadster first planned, after FCA decided that Alfa Romeos would be built only in Italy. It was based on the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 and built alongside it at Mazda's Hiroshima factory, sharing its platform, interior and top mechanism, but it had its own styling, retuned shock absorbers and a turbocharged 1.4 litre Fiat Multiair four-cylinder engine of 140 PS in Europe and 160 hp in North America. The name and styling recall the Pininfarina-designed Fiat 124 Sport Spider built from 1966 to 1985. An Abarth 124 Spider of 170 PS and a rally version followed, just over 41,000 cars were produced, and Stellantis withdrew the car from North America after the 2020 model year.
