The main highlight of the new version of Mazda Miata\u2019s Italian sibling is of course that hardtop; it\u2019s entirely made out of carbon fiber which makes it extremely light at 16kg and despite having a lined ceiling and a rear window with a defroster.<\/p>\n

Abarth claims it also improves the overall torsional rigidity of the 124, as well as providing better visibility. Installation is claimed to be easy, while the soft-top is retained.<\/p>\n

The new Abarth 124 GT also features a special Alpi Orientali Grey exterior paint finish, with customers able to opt for a matte black bonnet. A set of lighter 17-inch OZ alloys, along with gunmetal mirror caps, front spoiler, and an optional carbon fiber rear wing complete the exterior differences.<\/p>\n

The new special Abarth 124 GT is powered by the Euro-spec turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 170hp and 184lb-ft (250Nm) of peak torque. A dual-mode Record Monza exhaust is fitted as standard. 0-62mph (100km\/h) is dealt in 6.8 seconds.<\/p>\n

Customers will be able to choose the Abarth 124 GT with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, while that carbon fiber hardtop is also part of the options list.<\/p>\n
