In 2007, the Fiat Group introduced the successor to the iconic symbol of Italian automotive production: the Fiat 500. The design was immediately regarded as extremely appealing, featuring stylistic solutions reinterpreted in a modern and contemporary way, while recalling the “classic” Fiat 500 that first appeared on the market in 1957. Based on the Fiat 500, the intriguing 500 Abarth version was also created, following in the footsteps of Fiat’s historic small sports car produced since the late 1950s. The “Abarth” differs from the model it is derived from through its distinctly sporty design, with air intakes, side skirts, and larger bumpers. Significant mechanical upgrades were also introduced, including a turbocharged engine capable of delivering excellent performance, sporty exhausts with their distinctive sound, and lowered suspension to enhance road handling.
