FIAT's latest stylish car-500 ABARTH

Fiat introduces the latest stylish model car known as 500 Abarth. This 500 Abarth is almost same as the Sports model car, its front fascia has been pushed out by 2.7 inches and whole car sits 15 mm lower to the ground. A blacked-out grille with integrated fog lamps has been added to the front and in the back liftgate-mounted spoiler has been added to give better downforce. It has a smoke-finished 16-inch alloy wheels enclosed in 195/45 series Pirelli cinturato P7 season rubber and we can upgrade to the 17-inch kit.

Fiat Abarth’s exterior is really looking so good, but coming to interior it is too bad. In the interior part changes includes a turbo boost gauge in the instrument panel and steering wheel for better hand to helm interaction. In steering column there’s no telescope function and its seating position is not comfortable for sitting. Normally Abarth model comes with sport cloth seats, but we can change it to leather seating as optional. The plastics on center console and door made by plastics feel cheap and chrome rings around the window switches and buttons are too bad.


This 500 Abarth has 1.4 liter Multi-air turbocharged inline four cylinder engine which gives 160 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of maximum torque. By this Abarth we can manage 28/34 miles per gallon.
