People looking up Fiat 124 Sport Spider specs, Fiat 124 Sport Spider engine, Fiat 124 Sport Spider hp, Fiat 124 Sport Spider weight, Fiat 124 spider engine size, or Fiat 124 spider performance specs will find those figures only where the data has them; missing cells are written as not measured, not as if the car never had that parameter.
Generations
1 generation (1966-01-01 – 1981-01-31)
1 generation of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider ran from 1966-01-01 to 1981-01-31. Body type: Cabrio. The generation field lists 15 versions. All twelve versions that carry full spec rows in this catalogue share the same calendar window (1966-01-01 – 1981-01-31), the same Cabrio body, RWD, Gasoline, 4 Inline, boost No, tank 50 L, clearance 121 mm, front suspension Independent, spring, and front brakes Disc. Named versions in the data: 1.5 MT, three 1.6 MT rows, four 1.8 MT rows, one 1.8 AT, one 2.0 AT, and two 2.0 MT rows. Gearboxes in the data are Manual with 4 or 5 speeds and Automatic with 3 speeds. There is no second generation in this dataset.
Engines and specs
All engines in the data are Gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, boost No. Nm is not measured on every row. Fuel system labels are taken as stored: Central injection (single-point or single- point), Carburetor, or Distributed injection (multi-point). Front brakes are stored as Disc.

Fiat 124 Sport Spider engine by displacement
1.5 MT is the only 1500 cc row: 90 hp (66 kW), Manual 4, RWD, Central injection (single-point or single- point).
The three 1.6 MT versions share 1592 cc. 1.6 MT (100 hp) is 100 hp (74 kW) with Central injection (single-point or single- point). 1.6 MT (104 hp) is 104 hp (76 kW) with Carburetor — 4 hp and 2 kW above the 100 hp row. 1.6 MT (110 hp) is 110 hp (81 kW) with Central injection (single-point or single- point) — 10 hp and 7 kW above the 100 hp row, and 6 hp and 5 kW above the 104 hp Carburetor row. All three 1.6 MT versions use Manual 4 and RWD.
The 1756 cc group is the largest set of named versions. 1.8 MT (112 hp) is 112 hp (82 kW), Manual 5, Central injection (single-point or single- point). 1.8 MT (114 hp) is 114 hp (84 kW), Manual 4, Carburetor. 1.8 MT (118 hp) is 118 hp (87 kW), Manual 4, Carburetor — 4 hp and 3 kW above the 114 hp Carburetor row. 1.8 AT (128 hp) is 128 hp (94 kW), Automatic 3, Distributed injection (multi-point). 1.8 MT (128 hp) is the same 128 hp (94 kW) and the same Distributed injection (multi-point) as 1.8 AT (128 hp), but with Manual 5 instead of Automatic 3. Versus 1.8 MT (112 hp), the 128 hp 1.8 MT is 16 hp and 12 kW higher; versus 1.8 MT (118 hp) it is 10 hp and 7 kW higher.
The 1995 cc group is three versions. 2.0 AT is 103 hp (76 kW), Automatic 3, Carburetor. 2.0 MT (105 hp) is 105 hp (77 kW), Manual 4, Carburetor — 2 hp and 1 kW above 2.0 AT. 2.0 MT (135 hp) is 135 hp (99 kW), Manual 5, Distributed injection (multi-point) — 30 hp and 22 kW above 2.0 MT (105 hp), and 32 hp and 23 kW above 2.0 AT. 2.0 MT (135 hp) is also the highest output in the whole table: 45 hp and 33 kW above 1.5 MT (90 hp / 66 kW).
2.0 AT at 103 hp is 25 hp and 18 kW below 1.8 AT (128 hp), even though 2.0 AT has the larger 1995 cc displacement versus 1756 cc. 2.0 MT (105 hp) at 105 hp sits 5 hp below 1.6 MT (110 hp) and 7 hp below 1.8 MT (112 hp), so engine size in this catalogue is not the same as peak hp.
Performance and economy (0-100, top speed, mpg)
For every named version — 1.5 MT, 1.6 MT (100 hp), 1.6 MT (104 hp), 1.6 MT (110 hp), 1.8 MT (112 hp), 1.8 MT (114 hp), 1.8 MT (118 hp), 1.8 AT (128 hp), 1.8 MT (128 hp), 2.0 AT, 2.0 MT (105 hp), 2.0 MT (135 hp) — 0–100 is not measured, top speed is not measured, city consumption is not measured, highway consumption is not measured, mixed consumption is not measured, and CO2 / eco class are not measured. This catalogue therefore cannot rank Fiat 124 spider performance specs or mpg by a timed run or a fuel figure; the only measured power ranks are the hp/kW values in the engine table.
Dimensions and weight
Ground clearance is 121 mm on every recorded version. The tank is 50 L on every recorded version. Kerb weight is not measured. Gross weight is not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured. Rear suspension is not measured. Rear brakes are not measured. Front suspension is Independent, spring. Front brakes are Disc. A Fiat 124 Sport Spider weight search against this dataset therefore returns not measured for kerb and gross mass, with clearance and tank filled in.
Which version to choose
All compared versions are Gasoline, 4 Inline, boost No, RWD, Cabrio, tank 50 L, clearance 121 mm. Differences that are actually in the numbers:
- Lowest recorded power: 1.5 MT at 90 hp (66 kW) and 1500 cc, Manual 4, Central injection (single-point or single- point).
- Highest recorded power: 2.0 MT (135 hp) at 135 hp (99 kW) and 1995 cc, Manual 5, Distributed injection (multi-point). Gap versus 1.5 MT: 45 hp and 33 kW, and 495 cc more displacement (1995 − 1500).
- If the need is Automatic: only two rows exist. 1.8 AT (128 hp) is 128 hp (94 kW), 1756 cc, Automatic 3, Distributed injection (multi-point). 2.0 AT is 103 hp (76 kW), 1995 cc, Automatic 3, Carburetor. 1.8 AT (128 hp) is 25 hp and 18 kW above 2.0 AT with 239 cc less displacement (1995 − 1756).
- If the need is Manual 5: three rows. 1.8 MT (112 hp) at 112 hp (82 kW) with Central injection (single-point or single- point); 1.8 MT (128 hp) at 128 hp (94 kW) with Distributed injection (multi-point) — 16 hp and 12 kW above the 112 hp five-speed; 2.0 MT (135 hp) at 135 hp (99 kW) with Distributed injection (multi-point) — 7 hp and 5 kW above 1.8 MT (128 hp).
- If the need is Manual 4: 1.5 MT (90 hp); all three 1.6 MT rows (100 / 104 / 110 hp); 1.8 MT (114 hp) and 1.8 MT (118 hp); 2.0 MT (105 hp). Among four-speeds, the strongest is 1.8 MT (118 hp) at 118 hp (87 kW) — 28 hp and 21 kW above 1.5 MT, and 13 hp and 10 kW above 2.0 MT (105 hp).
- Among 1.6 MT twins: choose 1.6 MT (110 hp) for the highest 1592 cc output (110 hp / 81 kW); 1.6 MT (104 hp) if the stored fuel system must be Carburetor; 1.6 MT (100 hp) is the lowest of the three at 100 hp (74 kW).
- Among Carburetor rows: 1.6 MT (104 hp) 104 hp; 1.8 MT (114 hp) 114 hp; 1.8 MT (118 hp) 118 hp; 2.0 AT 103 hp; 2.0 MT (105 hp) 105 hp. The strongest Carburetor row is 1.8 MT (118 hp).
- Among Distributed injection (multi-point) rows: 1.8 AT (128 hp), 1.8 MT (128 hp), and 2.0 MT (135 hp). The last is 7 hp and 5 kW above the two 128 hp 1.8 rows.
- 2.0 MT (105 hp) is not a “bigger engine equals more hp” pick versus 1.8 MT (118 hp): 1995 cc vs 1756 cc, but 105 hp vs 118 hp (13 hp and 10 kW less).
0–100, top speed, mpg, kerb weight, and reliability scores are not measured in this data, so they cannot decide the version. The arithmetic that can decide it is hp, kW, displacement, gearbox type and speed count, and the fuel-system label as stored.
