Fiat may be busy celebrating the 124 Spider’s 50th anniversary these days, but the roadster doesn’t exactly benefit from all that heritage.

In fact, it can be considered the Italian cousin of the Mazda MX-5, with which it shares the same underpinnings, being differentiated only by a few exterior adjustments, a recalibrated steering and a new engine, which is made locally and then shipped to Japan for assembly.

However, while in the real world the Fiat 124 Spider doesn’t pose a threat for any Porsche model, in Fantasy Land the car has become a true killer, with the help of RainPrisk, who has transformed it into a coupe, with a lowered roof line, and fitted it with carbon fiber add-ons, a sportier suspension, larger wheels and side exhaust pipes.

Zoom in and you will notice the V8 badge on the front fender, suggesting that the usual 1.4-liter turbocharged four-banger has been replaced by a true monster.
