July 1, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Last sold in the United States more than 30 years ago, the iconic #Fiat #124spider is back.

The first shipments of the all-new 2017 #Roadster have arrived at the Port of Baltimore and the Port of San Diego, and will be available at #Fiat studios in North America this month.

“After much anticipation, the all-new #Fiat #124spider is here in the U.S. and will start to arrive at #Fiat studios next week,” said Bob Broderdorf, Director of #Fiat Brand North America. “Just in time for the prime convertible season, customers will now have the opportunity to experience our Italian-designed, fun-to-drive #Roadster for themselves.”

Nearly 50 years ago, on Nov. 2, 1966, the original #Fiat #124spider was introduced at the Turin #auto Show. Spider sales in the U.S. began in 1968 and concluded in 1985. Today, nearly 8,000 #Fiat 124 Spiders are still registered in the U.S.

The all-new 2017 #Fiat #124spider brings classic Italian styling and proven performance to a new generation of buyers. Paying homage to the original #124spider, the all-new Spider delivers the ultimate Italian #Roadster experience with driving excitement, technology and safety combined with iconic design.

The #Roadster comes standard with the proven 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo four-cylinder engine, the engine’s first application in a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. The engine delivers 160 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque on #classica and #lusso, 164 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque on #Abarth, and is available with a six-speed manual transmission (26 mpg city/35 mpg highway) or a six-speed automatic transmission (25 mpg city/36 mpg highway).

The #Fiat #124spider has a double-wishbone front suspension and rear multi-link suspension with stabilizer bars, and tuned electric-power steering system for enhanced handling and fuel efficiency. Available safety features include Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection and ParkView rear backup camera. Available technology and convenience features include passive entry with keyless go, Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats, and #Fiat Connect with access to Pandora, Stitcher and Aha apps.
 
About #Fiat Brand
The #Fiat brand stands for discovery through passionate self-expression. That philosophy is embodied by the iconic #Fiat 500 or Cinquecento – a small car that lives big. Italian at heart and rooted in a rich heritage, the 500 is sold in more than 100 countries and is synonymous with modern, simple design blending form, function, technology and a pride of ownership that is genuine.
 
In North America, the #Fiat 500 was introduced in March 2011 and was soon followed by the #Fiat 500c (Cabrio), the high-performance #Fiat 500 #Abarth and #Abarth Cabrio, the fully electric #Fiat 500e, the five-passenger #Fiat 500L and the all-wheel-drive 500X crossover. The #Fiat brand continues to expand with the introduction of the #Fiat #124spider, a revival of the iconic #Roadster that combines Italian style, performance and engaging driving dynamics. The all-new #Fiat #124spider will arrive at FIAT studios in summer 2016.
