" We had high hopes when we saw the Fiat Abarth 124 Spider earlier this month at the Geneva Motor Show. U.S. specs weren&amp;#039;t released then, but we expected more power than the 160 horsepower of the base 124 Spider, along with some handling goodies. Well, the 124 Abarth made it across the Atlantic with a new name\u2013124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth\u2013and some chassis\u00A0upgrades, but no power boost.  Yep, the Abarth-tuned 124 Spider will offer the same exact 160 horsepower turbocharged inline-four\u00A0found in the base-model 124 (and derived from the Fiat 500 Abarth&amp;#039;s engine). Basically, this is Fiat&amp;#039;s version of the Miata Club. That means you get a sport suspension with Bilstein dampers, a mechanical limited-slip differential, and optional Brembo brakes and Recaro seats. And, for the record, the Fiat&amp;#039;s\u00A0160-horse, 184 lb.-ft turbo engine still makes five more horsepower and 36 more lb.-ft. of torque compared to Mazda&amp;#039;s latest Miata.\u00A0 You can order your 124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth with a 6-speed manual or paddle-shift\u00A0automatic, but we highly recommend you get the manual.\u00A0A sports exhaust and vintage rally car-inspired looks complete the Abarth package.  Those hoping for a quicker Miata may be initially disappointed, but the 124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth still\u00A0has the makings of a great car. The\u00A0Club is arguably the best version of the Miata, so it stands to reason that the Elaborazione Abarth will be the 124 Spider to get. Pricing hasn&amp;#039;t been announced yet, but expect it to be near the $28,600 base price of the Miata Club. Fiat says the 124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth will arrive in dealers at the start of this summer. We&amp;#039;ll still hold out hope for a more powerful Abarth Spider, but the Elaborazione Abarth looks like it could be a bit of a riot. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
