Disappointing Specs on New Fiat Spider Abarth

BEM-S4 · 05-20-2016, 03:11 PM

Was really hoping for the 4C Alfa engine. Good news, I guess, is that it is coming a lot sooner than I had thought.

Doesn't look bad. 4C engine at this price point is a stretch.

I assumed it would cost +$10K, which with the 4C engine would have been solid value. This isn't bad, was just hoping for more "go" and less "show" from the upgrade. That said the Bilstein, Brembo and "Ricaro" seats are nice upgrades.

It looks almost exactly like an s2k

You mean Miata?

I swear that's 90% a Miata...

Well it is a Miata with different body panels

Isn't it going to be less expensive than the Miata?

Design is disappointing as well. The original was dripping style. This one... meh.
