7.0 / 10
Involvement 7.8 / 10
Why 7.0: A carbon-hardtop Abarth roadster with MX-5 architecture underneath. More character than speed, and cheap enough to drive hard.

The long version
The Abarth 124 GT is a strange little footnote in the best way: Mazda platform, Fiat body, turbo torque and a removable carbon hardtop that makes it feel more special than the numbers suggest. It was never a mainstream hit, which helps the charm now. Buyers who seek one out usually want the oddball rather than the obvious MX-5, and that tends to correlate with use. It is not faster than the Miata story; it is weirder, and weird matters here.
