Outside it looks stunning.
Can you get some interior pics? Does it have sabelts?

Agreed Brian 40K euros is about £30K. The MX5 starts at under £20K. I know they say Abarth is premium but £10K over im not sure about that.
But a part of me wants this badly

Found some more pics online, even a red 124.

Red 2

I'm definitely more worried about the price, lol.

Considering it's a new platform, much like the 135bhp 500 was, it will take them a few revisions and a few years of road testing before they start unleashing the more powerful variants, just look at what we have now, 190bhp 7 years later from the first Abarth 500. And look at the suspension revisions they have done over the years. This will play out the same.

But at the moment, as much as I LOVE this car, it needs to be cheaper than a Focus RS or a Civic Type-R, otherwise I can't see many people buying one above 28k, when you can get a 180 comp for 20k which has a slightly better power to weight ratio.... and obviously an extra 2 seats.

I can see this being the base model and in another 6 months to a year an SS version being released. Like they did with the 500.

Probably with an added cost of £3-4K, which will give you more power say 20BHP, bigger brakes, better suspension, wheels and sabelt seats etc.
Based on the £30K (40K Euros)  base price will push the price up to £34K.

Its getting pricey, could they price themselves out of a lot of sales? I think so.

I certainly won't be looking at one at that sort of price as much as I love the car. They have shot themselves in the foot here big time. Will have to wait on the UK prices being released but currently don't see my next car being an Abarth sadly at this rate...

Lets hope they surprise us and its on sale at £23K or under for base model.
They did surprise me with the new 595 180Hp for under £20K, price only went up £1K for the brembos, bigger turbo etc over the old 595.

But I wont hold my breath

Brian, is that price confirmed?
