Fiat 500 Abarth is a customized version of the base 500 model designed within a partnership between Fiat and Abarth.
The two companies modified most parts of the car, including engine and design elements such as front bumper and grille, wheels plus exterior mirrors. In terms of performance, the 500 Abarth is powered by a 1.4 16V turbocharged petrol engine capable of developing a maximum power of 135 bhp at 5,000 rpm combined with a torque of 206 Nm at 3,000 rpm. Safety has also been enhanced with ESP, now available as standard, plus TTC (Torque Transfer Control) and seven airbags, all of them installed as standard.
