The chassis and interior design are Mazda ND (but different materials used), but the engine is Fiat 1.4 Multiair turbo with previous-generation NC gearbox and completely different bodywork.
Works for me
1996 Portofino 20vt & 2000 Pearl White Plus 1985½ & 2016 2017 Fiat 124 Spider + XF Sportbrake
I know exactly what Fiat have done and I’m certainly not going to lambast the car. It was short lived though. I’ve only seen one in the flesh, it’s just Mazda have been doing these for years and are still in production. It’s a pity Fiat couldn’t come up with a totally new sports car, and I genuinely mean that.
