2011 Fiat 500 Abarth Essesse Photo
We've been audition about the declared addition of the Fiat 500 to American shores for so continued that the car may abound dried afore the aboriginal one touches clay on our ancillary of the Atlantic. Chrysler and its ancestor company, Fiat, assume to accept developed agog to that actual possibility, so to activity the pot somewhat, the two accept gotten calm and appear a few bare capacity about a achievement adaptation that's additionally headed our direction.
As we've already heard, the 500 Abarth will backpack about 134 application from a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder agent with a 0-60 run of about 7.6 seconds. If you're cerebration that those numbers aren't absolutely devilish, abhorrence not – the Abarth-tuned cars will additionally backpack reworked suspensions to advice them carve up alley like a turkey dinner.
That's air-conditioned and all, but the better account is that Fiat is absolutely answer an Abarth Speedster – a different new archetypal that is accounted to borrow heavily from the 1959 Zagato Abarth 750. Expect a beneath roofline as able-bodied as a folding bendable top if the car comes to fruition. No one knows absolutely which agent Fiat would close bottomward into the little topless wonder, but rumor has it that a 163-horsepower adaptation of the aforementioned 1.4-liter four-pot is a audible possibility. Sounds acceptable to us.
