2018 Fiat 124 Spider Engine Options and Performance 

For a good number of young Americans, the cool factor that comes from a roadster can’t be understated. Sitting low to the ground and being able to peel the top off for a ride on those hot summer days is often too good to pass up, which is why vehicles such as the Fiat 124 Spider have such high curb appeal for many consumers. We want to show you just how powerful Fiat’s entry into the roadster market truly is, so join Palmen Fiat today as we take you through the 2018 Fiat 124 Spider Engine Options and Performance!  

2018 Fiat 124 Spider engine specs and power ratings by trim level 

A simple discussion about the 124 Spider’s engine wouldn’t be complete without telling you that It’s the most powerful in its class. This 1.4-liter MultiAir® turbocharged engine is capable of producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque output, which, combined with a curb weight south of 2,500 pounds, allows this model to race down any road without fear of the future.  
This same engine is also a standard inclusion on the Fiat 124 Spider Abarth trim, but with quad exhaust tips and a six-speed manual transmission paired, this model can crank out 164 horsepower!
