Is the Abarth 124 powerful enough for highway driving?

The Abarth 124 Spider is powered by a 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbocharged engine, delivering 170 hp and 250 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in approximately 6.8 seconds, offering a much punchier mid-range feel than its naturally aspirated rivals. For buyers considering the Abarth 124, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
