UK buyers will have to spend upwards of £ 33,625
(US$ 44,150) for the Abarth 124 GT, which also happens to be limited to just 50
cars. Meanwhile, only three colors are available in Portogallo 1974 Grey, San
Marino 1972 Black and Turini 1975 White.
The Abarth 124 GT comes standard with a carbon fiber
roof, 17-inch OZ ultra-light alloys, a Bose sound system and the Visibility
Pack, which features dusk and rain sensors, rear parking sensors and adaptive
front LED headlights.
Future owners will be able to remove the 16 kg
carbon fiber hard-top very easily, making the transition from a small, sporty
grand tourer to a convertible. The roof is also said to maintain the car’s
50:50 weight distribution and even comes with an efficient defroster for the
rear window. Other features include the the mechanical self-locking differential,
offering improved traction, but also the Record Monza exhaust system, giving
the car its recognizable Abarth sound.
Powering the 124 GT is a 1.4-liter four-cylinder
petrol engine, producing 170 PS and 250 Nm of torque. In a
straight line, it can take you from zero to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds,
while top speed is set at 231 km/h, as far as the manual transmission
version is concerned. Opt for the 6-speed automatic and you’ll be hitting 100
km/h in 6.9 seconds, maxing out at 228 km/h. The 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo engine is said to have
a combined cycle of 44.1 mpg (6.4 l/100km – 36.7 US mpg) for the manual and 42.8
mpg (6.6 l/100km – 35.6 US mpg) for the automatic.
