Andy_Bangle Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yes, another special edition for the Fiat 500 fans ... Fiat's official tuning brand, Abarth, has dropped the lid on its latest creation based on the 500C ahead of the convertible's world premier at next week's Geneva Motor Show. Like its tin-topped counterpart, the Abarth 500C benefits from a more powerful turbocharged engine as well as chassis upgrades and a full suite of aero tweaks to reduce drag and improve high-speed stability over the standard Fiat 500C. Motivation comes from a 1.4-litre turbocharged T-Jet engine delivering 140 horsepower and 206Nm of peak torque at 2,000 rpm. Power is transferred to the front wheels through a standard six-speed automated manual gearbox with paddle shifters. The Abarth-ized 500C can sprint from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 7.9 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 205km/h or 127mph, while returning an average fuel consumption in the combined cycle of 6.5lt/100km, or 43.5mpg. The Italian company said that it is also working on a more powerful "Esseesse" model that will be available later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacingRed Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 The bodykit is chavvy for such a cute car. But the two-tone paint looks nice. I wonder if there are more colour options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 500, I really do, there's a white one with Italian colour pinstripes near me, and our florist has a powder blue one, my god, I think I'm catching 'gay'....
