2017 al Rally di Sanremo With Abarth 124 Rally – Video

 

The Abarth 124 Rally is the spiritual successor to the car of the same name that Fiat/Abarth peddled from 1972 to 1975 specifically for rally competition. Like that car, the new model looks incredible with its array of auxiliary driving lights dotting the front end, fully race-prepped interior, and power bump over regular Fiat 124 Spiders. Make that a gigantic power bump—the 124 Rally spits out 300 horsepower from a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, quite a jump over the 170 ponies Abarth extracts from the pedestrian 124’s 1.4-liter turbo four. The engine, unlike the MultiAir four-cylinder shared by the 124 Spider and the Fiat 500 Abarth, uses direct fuel injection, in addition to its larger displacement and presumably hefty tuning job to produce another 130 horsepower.
