Fiat 500 Abarth - Because a brand cannot live on cute alone

摘要

MAYBE YOU'VE ADMIRED the plucky little Fiat 500, with its art-object design and European sensibilities. But if you've also found it a little too cute, too soft, or too slow to seriously consider, then you'll want to know about the Fiat 500 Abarth. The Abarth addresses each of those reservations in a very convincing way. Taking the last objection first, the heart of the Abarth is its new engine. The 1.4-liter, single-overhead-cam four-cylinder has been turbocharged, dramatically increasing its output. Horsepower jumps from 101 hp to 160 hp. Torque is up even more, from 98 lb-ft to 170 lb-ft.
