Fiat 124 Spider Performance Overview
Fiat’s modern 124 Spider performance record on this page is concentrated entirely within a single model year, with 8 independently verified tests spanning 2017 to 2017. That places the car here as a snapshot of the Type 348 roadster’s opening U.S. market tune, built around the turbocharged MultiAir four-cylinder and a gasoline-only layout. Across those tests, output ranged from 160 to 164 hp, and the measured spread ran from the 2017 Lusso at 7.6 seconds to 60 mph to the quickest 2017 Abarth at 6.3 seconds, which also set the model’s best quarter-mile of 14.8 seconds at 93.5 mph.
Because all recorded results come from 2017, the performance story is defined by trim differences rather than year-over-year development. The Abarth established the benchmark early, with tested 0-60 runs of 6.3 and 6.4 seconds, while the Classica came in at 6.5 seconds and the Lusso ranged from 6.6 to 7.6 seconds depending on test conditions and specification. Average performance across the full sample settled at 6.66 seconds to 60 mph and 15.09 seconds in the quarter-mile at 92.5 mph.
Within the current Type 348 generation, the 2017 Abarth remains the quickest example in the available data, so the model presently stands as a compact, turbocharged gasoline roadster with mid-6-second 0-60 capability at its best.
