 Fiat 500 Abarth: first official photo« »

Quote, originally posted by Motor Authority »
Fiat first displayed its rejuvenated Abarth brand at last year’s Geneva Motor Show with the unveiling of Grande Punto Abarth S2000 racer concept. It quickly followed this up with another concept, the Punto Abarth SS (Super Sport) at the Frankfurt Motor Show that same year, and now we can finally get a look at the first all-new production Abarth model with this leaked official image of the Fiat 500 Abarth.

The new hot-hatch will be making its debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show and will be joined further down the track by the larger Fiat Grande Punto Abarth model. To differentiate the performance Abarth line, the new car comes with a sporty bodykit with larger air intakes, side skirts, a rear diffuser, pumped fenders, Abarth decals and new alloys. The interior will continue the sporty theme with new bucket seats, alloy pedals and leather trim.

No official stats have been released but expect to see Fiat Group’s turbocharged T-Jet petrol engine developing around the 150hp mark. The car will also feature an upgraded handling pack, with larger wheels and stiffer suspension to allow it to compete with BMW’s brilliant Mini.

It looks like they stole the red mirrors from the '06 Mini GP Kit

I could get stranded in a lake and it would be cheaper to empty the lake and keep my fiat then owning a mini

I spoke to a dealer a couple of weeks ago, according to him, who has one of the pre-production models on order, it's getting 135Hp.

Here's his ad for it: http://www.finn.no/finn/car/ob...90316

IF we'd have gotten the VXR, and it was price-competitive, it'd be selling like hotcakes.

Same goes for this...

It's ok I guess.

I'd never buy it for what they'd charge for it here, though.
