Behold: The Angry Yet Adorable Abarth 124 GT4
We have a bit of a soft spot for the Abarth 124. Yes, it’s expensive for what it is, but we love the way it packs so much over-the-top aggression into its tiny, MX-5-sourced frame. We’ve already seen what happens when that anger is upped further via the R-GT rally version, but now, we’d like to present the most enraged version of the Fiat 124 yet.
It’s a test mule for an incoming GT4-spec racing version of the car, sporting a hard top, a big rear wing, a massive rear diffuser and all manner of vents and canards. It looks like a shrunken Dodge Viper GTS-R, and we dig it.
Technical details are largely unknown, but the uploader seems to think it’s powered by a 1.75-litre turbocharged engine taken from the Alfa Romeo 4C/Giulietta Quadrifoglio, which seems a decent guess. Power should be around 380bhp.
We’d expect the car to make its competition debut early 2019.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Ugliest car on the 2019 GT4 grid?
And to think all that Fiat did was call Mazda and raid their factories and make this… I approve of their method,and so does Forza Horizon Festival guy
I want a road version of this car with the new 2.0 MX-5 engine
Looks a bit like a JGTC RX-7 from the back
That’s very awesome!
Finally, a 124 that looks half decent.
Does this mean we could be having a mx 5 race car all well?
