fiat 500 abarthThanks to the designers at Fiat Group Automobiles Style Centre, the Fiat 500 Abarth has been recreated in the memory of the original 1960s hot-rodded econocar.
The new car will be powered by a four-cylinder turbo engine that produces 135 horsepower, an improvement of 35 horses over the base Fiat 500. The engine creates 132 lb-ft of torque in "Normal" mode and 152 lb-ft in "Sport" mode, though nothing was said about the method of switching between these two modes. A six-speed manual gearbox is fitted and 0 to 62 mph dashes will be churned out in around 8.2 seconds, according to Fiat.
