Can"t make your mind up between a coupe and convertible? Still obsessed by lightweight focus, though? Abarth may have found the solution. Meet the 124 GT, ready for its reveal at the Geneva Motor Show. The Abarth 124 GT takes the regular 124 Spider and adds a carbon hard top. Rather than morph the Spider into a fixed, permanent coupe bodystyle, though, the roof is removable "in a few easy steps", we"re promised so when the sun"s out for a while, you can leave it somewhere. Preferably at home and not just at the side of the road. While made of carbon, it weighs 16kg and is presumably a bit unwieldy, so you might want to practice a few bicep curls if you"re going to be lifting it on and off with regularity. In fact, you can probably cancel the gym membership and just improve your strength with carbon roof reps. Might work out cheaper in the long run, no matter what price tag Abarth sticks on the GT (it"s not said yet).
