The scorpion celebrates 70 years.
FIAT announced today the all-new "Scorpion Sting" Appearance
Group, which provides an unmistakable look, available on the
performance-oriented Fiat 124 Spider Abarth.
"Every Fiat 124 Spider comes standard with turbocharged
open-air fun," said Tim Kuniskis, Global Head of Alfa Romeo and
Head of Passenger Cars – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA –
North America. "The Scorpion Sting
Appearance Group gives the roadster head-turning presence and yet
another way to customize the fun-to-drive Fiat 124 Spider
Abarth."
Design elements include an attention-grabbing Rosso-red scorpion
silhouette hood decal reminiscent of the legendary Abarth badge, a
badge of honor celebrating 70 years. The Abarth scorpion badge is a
historical nod to founder Karl Abarth, whose astrological sign was
Scorpio, and represents a symbol of power and performance. In
addition, sleek Rosso red side stripes feature the iconic scorpion
and run the length of the roadster's body.

About the Fiat 124 Spider
The Fiat 124 Spider revives the storied nameplate, bringing its
classic Italian styling and performance to a new generation. Paying
homage to the original 124 Spider more than 50 years after its
introduction, the Fiat 124 Spider delivers the ultimate Italian
roadster experience with driving excitement, technology and safety
combined with iconic Italian design.
The Fiat 124 Spider, designed in Centro
Stile in Turin, Italy,
borrows cues from the original Spider – widely considered one of
Fiat's most beautiful cars of all time – and reinterprets them for
today. The 124 Spider has a timeless low-slung presence, with a
classically beautiful body side, well-balanced proportions and a
sporty cabin-to-hood ratio.
The roadster comes standard with the proven 1.4-liter MultiAir
Turbo four-cylinder engine, the engine's first application in a
rear-wheel-drive vehicle. The engine delivers 164 horsepower and
184 lb.-ft. of torque on Abarth and is available with a six-speed
manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission.
The 124 Spider's suspension uses a double-wishbone layout in
front and a multi-link in the rear, specifically tuned for greater
stability while braking and turning. Steering is light and
responsive with the use of an electric power-assist (dual pinion)
system. NVH enhancements, including an acoustic front windshield
and insulation treatments, help deliver a refined, quiet
ride.
The vehicle is available with an array of safety and security
features, including full LED adaptive front headlamps, Blind-spot
Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection and a ParkView rear backup
camera.
Technology and convenience features include Keyless Enter 'n Go,
Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats, available Bose premium
nine-speaker audio system and FIAT Connect 7.0 with a 7-inch
touchscreen display.
