Reverse Cam
Full LED headlights with cornering function
138hp and 177lb-ft of torque.

No mention of production numbers and how much they'll be

Saw that coming lol.

There was an interesting post on Abarth's facebook page yesterday, hinting at a special new release at Geneva. 124 Spider Coupe hopefully.

I agree. Those 4 spoke do not look good.

Agree, the wheels are just ghastly. With the exception of the numbered plaque, everything else is Mopar catalogue parts bin. Hardly a "limited edition". They could have at least offered a unique paint.

I quite like those wheels

not for me though

I think the car looks pretty good.

My issue is that I don't think this is the right direction for this car, we don't need a 124 with a few styling gimmicks and a higher price tag, at least not the way I see it.

Those wheels are a modern interpretation of the Cromadora 4 spokes that were popular on racing 124s back in the old days. I didn't really like them then, and I am not crazy about them now, but I understand the attempt at retro styling. The problem is that few people remember those old style wheels, so the retro effect is sort of lost.

The car looks pretty good because of that color; it looks close to "Alfa Rosso." Otherwise the four spokes are reminiscent of old steel wheel overlays.

Love the red! Wouldn't mind if the wheels were stolen.

Lose the wheels. They look like the wheels on my Kia Soul....them's ugly what am ugly....and what in the world is "Reverse Cam"....???

I actually think the wheels work well with the car - to each their own.

The retro wheels are cool; can see the look they are after. Not my thing but they are cool.

They don't look a good as the wheels they are "doing a modern take on". And they were far from the nicest wheels on the old 124 anyway.

I think the problem with the new wheels is the proportionally larger wheel for the lower profile, and likely larger overall diameter tires. The new wheels look cartoonish. The same look of the old, smaller wheels looks fine.
