Fiat 500 Abarth
Another classic. The new super cool small hatch. This is a compact, stylish and economical 4 seater car.The 500 Abarth has exceptional performance. Powered by a 1.4 16v turbocharged petrol engine, it has 135 bhp at 5,000 rpm and peak torque of 206 Nm at 3,000 rpm.
The styling of the 500 Abarth fully respects Abarth tradition. It is not a mere exercise in aesthetics, but is driven by the need to improve the car's performance in every possible way. Aerodynamics is optimised through the use of a large winged spoiler and a ‘diffuser' that links to the underbody, helping reduce drag and increase downforce at high speed.
But it's the front of the 500 Abarth that really announces the car's performance capabilities. The triple air intakes feed air to the engine and twin intercoolers, and the nose of the car has been extended forward to create space for the turbocharger. It's this that gives the distinctive shape to historic Abarth cars. see our cars hire page.
