One of the most stylish roadsters currently on the market is the Fiat 124 Spider. The original 124 Spider arrived in 1966. Now, 50 years later, Fiat has presented the new version with charming retro-futuristic styling, many exciting features, and chassis borrowed from the Mazda Miata/MX-5 (via Abarth).

Fiat installs its engine as a tiny 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The displacement may be small, but this engine is big in power and produces 164 hp. That is good enough to launch this small roadster from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds and it can reach 130 mph in the Abarth trim level.
