    The R-GT regulations state that minimum weight of the car is its power in Hp multiplied by 3,4. If this Abarth has 300 Hp it can go up to 1020 kg. I don't believe it's achievable (just like cca 1330 kg for Porsche 911) but for sure it allows to make the car as light as possible without any additional balance.

    By the way I wonder how FIA determins the actual power of the car...

    Amazing news! I didn’t believe in US journos, but they were right… it’s great to see Fiat/Abarth back to rally! The car looks great and has lots of potential (stock mazda mx5 weights only 1050kg). Hope Abarth will develop a gravel kit and FIA won’t ruin it with restrictors. It seems a nice car for a cup series in ERC and national championships!

    Abarth 124 Spider (road car) figures: 1.4t/170cv/1060kg/40.000€. The 1.8t engine of the Rally version it’s probably based in Alfa’s 4C engine.

    This one was also presented yesterday in Geneva, but FIA will probably never allow it in Rally…

    The car is allowed in the moment it starts its sales. You only need to find a tuner who would pay the paperwork.

    Actually the MX-5 is a sister car to the 124 Spider.

    Other than Lotus, who else makes small coupés or roadsters?

    There's the German quartet: Porsche Cayman / Boxster, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLC. But they are focused in GT circuit racing.

    There's the Toyota 86, Nissan Z and Honda CR-Z. But the latter two are old and might not be replaced.

    We miss the Ford Puma and Opel Tigra, but those were FWD.

    Congratulations to Enrique Cruz who won the 40.Rallye Islas Canarias.
    Despite all the obstacles he showed to entire rally scene, that 911 GT3 RS 3.8 can compete against R5 cars, which are driven by some of top drivers.
    Long live the Portuguese national federation which allows unrestricted GT cars,
