The Abarth 124GT pricing has been announced for UK customers. Revealed at the Geneva International Motor Show, the Abarth 124GT comes as standard with a carbon fibre roof, 17" OZ Ultra-Light alloys, Bose® sound system and Visibility pack including; dusk and rain sensors, rear parking sensors and adaptive front LED headlights and is limited to just 50 cars in the UK.
The carbon fibre roof weighs just16kgs maintaining the optimum 50:50 weight distribution of the 124. The hard top is lined on the inside and has a large rear window and efficient defroster to clear it in less than three minutes. It guarantees thermal insulation and soundproofing, while ensuring ample rear view.
