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!
