Fiat is tipped to reveal the 124 Spider later this year at either the Frankfurt or Los Angeles auto shows. The roadster is based on similar underpinnings as the new Mazda MX-5 Miata and is expected to reach dealers in 2016.
Sergio Marchionne confirms that the 124 Spider is the name for Fiat's forthcoming roadster. The Italian sports car almost certainly shares a platform for the latest Mazda MX-5 Miata and reportedly debuts some time in 2016.
Looking for a classic Italian convertible but can't quite stretch to an Alfa or Ferrari? The Fiat 124 may be just the ticket, as Hagerty discovers in this video.
Fiat files trademark registration with the USPTO for the model names "124" and "124 Spider." The filing could presage a Fiat coupe and convertible built on the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata platform that was previously going to be used for a new Alfa Romeo.
