BBR unveiled new images of their latest project, the 1:18 Fiat 124 Spider. Model is completed in White with Red/Black interior. I don’t know what all the fuss is about, isn’t this just a Mazda Miata with new badge and front fascia? It’s been 50 years since the original Fiat 124, this one definitely isn’t “the ultimate Italian roadster”. BBR plans to release all 1:1 colours, each will be a limited edition.

I will wait for a ‘budget’ brand version of the Abarth hard top version. The Abarth has a turbocharged Fiat engine, rather than a Mazda.
I thought this myself as well. Those doors for example look to be the same as the ones from the MX-5, but they aren’t an exact match. The panels aren’t the same. It’s the interior where you expect the differences, but you won’t find them except maybe different color choices, badge and maybe gauges.
I’m liking this 124 more and more, but I don’t know I I would chose this over the MX-5….
Have you driven one. It isn’t just the front fascia, the whole body is completely different, totally different look from the current Mazda. Italian turbo charged Multiair engine. Completely different car to look at and drive. Of course based on the Mazda platform but what’s wrong with that. Loads of manufacturers have done that and the Mazda is proven, solid base and the Fiat/Alfa engine also equally rock solid that with a few tweaks can put at 200bhp at the wheels. Drive it before you judge.
I own a 2018 124 just like this one (except full-size)! You are right, Mark, no shared body panels, longer, about 100 lbs. heavier, more refined finish to the interior, which is otherwise identical to MX5, better soundproofing, More of a cruiser than the MX5, which is what I wanted. Love this vehicle! Would love to have the diecast version.
Good morning
