Why it matters
The Spidereuropa Volumex was the supercharged version of the Pininfarina Spidereuropa, the European-market revival of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider. It was the most powerful variant of the late 124 Spider line.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The Fiat 124 Sport Spider stayed in production after the coupe ended in 1975, helped by sales in the United States. Pininfarina brought a European version back at the Geneva Motor Show in 1982, with the US twin-tube bumpers and side markers removed and the rear bench deleted, making it a two-seater. Instruments, mechanicals and chassis set-up were derived from the Fiat 131 and Argenta.
At the Turin Motor Show in late April 1982 Pininfarina added the Volumex, with a volumetric compressor developed by Abarth. Fiat quotes 136 hp and a top speed above 200 km/h against 105 hp and over 180 km/h for the standard 2-litre car.
