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?
how can u call a 124 ugly lol
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
no, with a 2.0 turbo
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?
