LEGEND REBORN : Fiat 500 Abarth

FIAT digs deep into its sporting past to unleash the new 500 Abarth - a high performance version of the Fiat 500 city car.

The new car was developed by Fiat Group Automobiles Style Centre in the spirit of the legendary Fiat 500 Abarth of the 1960s and is powered by a Fire 1.4 16v petrol Turbo engine, which delivers a maximum of 135bhp.

The styling is not a mere exercise in interpretation, as the 500 Abarth optimises aerodynamic behaviour, reducing drag and increasing high speed stability, while the sideskirts also improve the Cd figure. Inside, the 500 features special instrumentation, with the addition of an analogue gauge to measure turbo pressure.

An LED telltale that optimises gear changes by lighting up at the appropriate moment, is also incorporated.

The 500 Abarth is the latest in a series of sporting versions which will see the Abarth name return to British showrooms later this year.
