The Spider was designed by Pininfarina and the engines increased in size throughout it's long and successful production. Those engines included: a 1966-1969 1438cc engine (90bhp, 0-60 in 11.9, 1/4 mile in 18.3), a 1970 1438cc engine and a 1608cc engine (90-110bhp, 0-60 in 11-12), 1971 had the 1438cc and 1608cc engines, 1972 had the 1608cc engine and a 1756cc (116bhp) engine, 1973 a 1538cc and 1592cc engine (105bhp) and the 1608cc and 1756cc engines, 1974-1978 had the 1756cc (93-116bhp) engine, 1979 on had the 1756cc engine and a 1995cc engine (78bhp+, 0-60 in 10.6, 1/4 mile in 18.1) and also a name change to Spider 2000. 1980 got fuel injection added to the 1995cc engine (100bhp, 0-60 in the 10's, 1/4 mile around 17.5). Also to note is a Turbo version in 1981 (120bhp, 0-60 in 9.4, 1/4 mile in 17.1) and a Supercharged version in 1982 called the Volumex (135bhp, 1/4 mile in 16 secs). A Fiat 124 Spider Abarth/Rallye Abarth was also built between 1973-1976, with a tuned 1756cc engine it put out 128bhp (see below) or even more with a 16v option.
