Symbol of Abarth’s renewal, this brand new HQ installed in Mirafiori bringing together design, production and competition activities.

Little Abarth is distinguished at the rear by the presence of a specific bumper with double exhaust outlet and a rooftrack.

The muzzle has been extended a few centimeters to create the space useful to the turbo which makes the profile of the 500 Abarth more dynamic.

The interior atmosphere is particularly well worked, Bravo Fiat !

We regret a driving position too high compared to the road, but the bucket seats are successful.

Under the small hood, a small engine: the 1.4 tjet appears in an unprecedented power of 135 hp. And motor kits are already planned for the most gourmet.

Underestimated at the limit, the Fiat 500 Abarth allows you to have fun. Under permanent ESP control.

Farm and with low debatements The suspension makes good impression on smooth asphalt. It remains to be seen the behavior of the little Italian on other fields and with less mild weather.

Efficient and relatively homogeneous, the 500 distills sweetened venom but does not lack charm.

Sold 18.500 euros, the Fiat 500 Abarth symbolizes the ambitions and the found confidence of the Fiat group.

GOOD 🙂 Crunchy ! Sexy interior Pleasant engine Sporting sound Safe and agile behavior Reasonable mixed consumption Personalization program

NOT GOOD 🙁 Spice ! A little high driving position High -speed disappointing engine Limited autonomy on circuit No box 6 ESP Non -disconnectable

Breeding Scorpion
Real life buoy for a brand in large image and products deficit, the Fiat 500 stands out as the new darling of the beautiful districts. Yes, a fiat. Who would have believed it was not ? But the 500 is no longer a pot of primitive yogurt, 50 years after the release of its elder. The Car of the Renewal is clearly walking on the flowerbeds of the New Mini of BMW, which is also far from its origins, with a spectacular commercial success. So, this Fiat 500 made by Abarth is a real “scorpion” able to sting the enthusiasts, where is it a simple fashion object ?

Relegated in recent years to the rank of tuning accessories for Fiat shops or associated with pseudo-sporting (which remembers the Stilo Abarth . ), the name of Karl Abarth and the famous coat of arms inspired by its zodiac sign find an unexpected splendor on the side of Turin. Like what is done in other manufacturers, Fiat understood that it should offer greater legitimacy to its sports versions, the main image vector for a brand. Because even if the buyers targeted by the new 500 are not of this generation sensitive to experimental DIY on the basis of a double body petoire, Fiat has surely reached the conclusion that it is always good to value a glorious past for S ‘ invent a radiant future. Philosophy carefully applied by all major sports car manufacturers elsewhere. Synonymous with sportiness and passion, Abarth & C, a company founded in 1947 and controlled by Fiat Group Automobiles at 100%, therefore returns as a brand in its own right within the group. Strong sign of this return in grace, the Scorpion replaces the Fiat logos on all the signed models of the preparer. That is to say if we have taken into account all the commercial aspects, including psychological ! A little reminder of the activities that Abarth & C exercised. In the past is essential to fully understand Fiat’s great ambitions concerning its subsidiary: from races to personalization accessories, including prototypes and motor kits, everything has been redesigned and reactivated with large investments. Abarth wants to be “the expression of a true philosophy of sporting life” (dixit the press kit). For the occasion, Fiat has even offered a new building in Mirafiori. It will include the functions of production, design and management of the company. The Abarth structure, entrusted to Luca de Meo, will also be able to count on Paolo Martinelli, today at the head of the Fuel Department Department of Fiat PowerTrain Technologies, and manager of the Motors of Ferrari Sports Management until October 2006. A nice reference. In summary, a real parallel universe is born around the Abarth brand, based on a specialized four -level distribution network: flagship, dealers, specialized preparers and assistance workshops. The first 7 members of the Abarth network in France have completed their point of sale this summer. Like the Corners Mini at BMW, Fiat distributors had to create a dedicated space of 90 m2 in their showroom in their showroom. To the chagrin of other Fiat dealers, these distributors will have the exclusivity of Abarth models and accessories and in particular the 500 Abarth, available since September 15. After the Grande Punto, the first Abarth interpretation that we will present to you also soon, it is especially around the brand new 500, which should represent two thirds of orders alone, that this ambitious project is articulated. The targeted category is that of small sports cavities, currently represented by the Citroën C2 VTS, Suzuki Swift Sport and Mini Cooper. These days, another sharp rival will sow discord for mini: the Renault Twingo RS. However, the targeted clientele is not necessarily the most rational. The mini cooper which is the most expensive and the least efficient is the one that sells best. You said “brand image” ? Note that the first figures are already right to Fiat: more than 60% of Abarth customers in Italy are under the age of 30 and more than 30% approach Fiat Group Automobiles for the first time.

DESIGN
After these long contextual presentations, let’s come to the heart of our subject: this cute Fiat 500 Abarth, or rather, Abarth 500 relations to its full “re-badage”. However, it is not at Maison Abarth that we owe this physical bodybuilded, but well at the Fiat style center which also signed the neo-retro design of the 500. And we must admit that they did not spare their talent to invent a very female and sexy city car, here transformed into something devilishly attractive even for a strong sex representative ! Virilized just what it takes, the 500 Abarth does not sweat excessive testosterone. No tank top with shower of hair, no no, here it is almost Armani shirt and gucci fragrance of rigor. The palm of the style returns to him right to this 500, succeeding in winning in a category where only the mini cooper offered for the moment a very strong style. But put the two cars side by side in the street and you will see that the 500, no doubt benefiting from the novelty effect, wins the majority of the vote. Worked like a sportswoman with a hoax, the 500 to the “prank scorpion” hangs the eye from all angles. The best demonstration of this strong stylistic imprint lies in the particular attention reserved for aerodynamics which distinguishes the small abarth from its sisters. At the rear, it is by the presence of a specific bumper with lower extractor and double exhaust outlet tattooed from the Scorpion, as well as two orie of the wheelless outlets and a large spout perched on the tailgate. The front of the Fiat 500 Abarth is not to be outdone: the “triptych” air intake consists of a central part, larger compared to the basic model, and with a upper slit (above the plate) also wider; The two “nostrils”, symmetrical alongside the bumper, correspond exactly to the position of the two twin intercolers, which we see through them. For once, no style artifice is fake, contrary to what we often see. The muzzle with the frieze was extended a few centimeters to create the useful space with turbo; This makes the lateral profile of the 500 Abarth more pronounced. The Abarth logo placed in the center of the grille advantageously replaces the Turin part. It’s undeniable, it changes everything. On the sides there are abarth badges crossed by a tricolor flash, as was the case on the 595 and 695 Abarth of the 60s. A bit kitsch but it goes, because we have played nostalgia thoroughly at Fiat. Finally, available in 16 and 17 inches, the rims decline different styles including those with borders with holes remind our fond memories of the 70s of the 70s. We can also type in the imposing personalization catalog to concoct a custom 500, a determining element of the commercial strategy.

Cabin
It’s been a long time since we had penetrated such an attractive Fiat cabin. This requires going back to the Barchetta and cut from the 90s, it dates a little. With the black or red leather option and the painted “crate color” dashboard, it is the whole inner atmosphere that changes its registry according to your tastes and the whole is incomparably more attractive than that of a Twingo 2 , all that may be. On this level, the French may suffer hard with her dashboard from a depressing stylistic poverty. Like the exterior, the interior of the Fiat 500 Abarth is characterized by a particular instrumentation and by an additional analog pressure gauge for the turbo pressure. Inside the pressure gauge of our 500 is the indicator of the “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator), which suggests the driver to make a speed change through the ignition of an LED diode. The Twingo also does it, but it is once again much less cool. And then in the Fiat he has two functions: economic, the indicator favors consumption, or sports with a flashing as the breaker approaches. The main dial bringing together all other information is overlooked by a edge which protects it from reflections. In front of him, the three -pointed steering wheel offers an excellent handling and has a “flat” in the lower part which allows you to sit more easily. In this regard, we regret a driving position too high compared to the road to offer real sports sensations, even if the specific seats with headrest integrated into the folder have a successful design. This mania that manufacturers have to raise any city car in terms of minivans is frankly distressing, but what do you want, it’s fashion. It seems that it is better to get in the car than to go down there. For the rest, the 500 takes up the usual accessories of the little warrior: aluminum pedal with rubber pads, specific gear lever knob with leather dressing. Fiat even adds rare attentions to this range level such as a handbrake handful also in leather, chrome doors’ clays, a recall of the 500 logo in front of the passenger underlined by a “Powered by” with the Scorpion logo, or Another unique telemetry function integrated into GPS (optional). Call that gadget if you want, but the 500 Abarth uses the Blue & Me ™ MAP system developed by Magneti Marelli inspired by competition. The control function visualizes on the screen the main parameters captured in the vehicle (engine rotation speed, vehicle speed, triggered report) as soon as they are transferred from Blue & M to PND (Device Navigation Portable) by Bluetooth. The track function, accessible if the pilot is on one of the circuits recorded in the memory of the GPS (essentially the largest. ), presents a set of additional information such as the position of the car on the route and the journey times. The configuration function makes it possible to memorize telemetry data relating to a course and to associate it with a personalized session (identified with the name of the driver, the circuit, the date). Finally, the recorded information can be easily recovered and analyzed, even a posteriori, thanks to the analysis function. What to spin seizures of jealousy to the owners of F430 Scuderia with your little fiat.

ENGINE
The new 500 Abarth keeps few technical characteristics with its illustrious predecessor. To start, we no longer roll open hood with it, simply because the engine has passed. in front. And yes, it would therefore be impractical. Like the New Bettle, the New 500 therefore draws a line on its origins of propulsion “backpack”. But, in this case, it also offers something more: more power and performance. The merit comes back, largely, to the small “downsizé” engine hidden under the hood. A new evolution of the 4 -cylinder Fire block 16 valves of 1368 cm3 doped by a IHI turbo with fixed geometry (1.2 bar with overboost) and which delivers here a power of 135 hp at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 206 Nm at 3000 rpm with the Overboost of “Sport” mode (180 Nm at 2500 rpm in normal mode). Fiat’s 1400 supercharged has so far always left us pleasant mechanical memories. UNO Turbo IE, Punto GT, each time these fire engines had only a limited motor skills outdated. The 500 allows exhilarating performance despite a weight that exceeds the ton. The maximum speed of 205 km/h, more anecdotal than the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h which is carried out according to Fiat in just 7.9 seconds. With its well-worked exhaust, the quatroze-center emits a delightful and misleading sound on its displacement by the richness of the grave. Not too advanced, even a little dull at high speed, it authorizes a flexibility driving with a busy torque curve favoring punch with usual diets. Performance and approval which ascends a standardized consumption of 6.5 l/100 km in a mixed cycle but which flies more easily than on an atmo of equivalent power. Consumption all the more astonishing since Fiat deprived itself of a 6th report on the transmission, while the small Panda 100 HP which uses the same 1.4 without turbo has almost without having the utility as its recoveries are average. Well staged (Vmax in 5th to 5660 rpm), with a fairly short bridge promoting dynamism, the box of the 500 Abarth would have deserved a 6th report, at least for the highway where its couple would be sufficient to ensure reminders correct and less consumption. Furthermore, the order is quite unclear in sporty driving. Finally, note that the new propellant already meets the next Euro 5 standard and is freed from the ecological penalty, with only 155g of CO2/km. It’s always saved.

FRAME
Born to overcome the most severe standards, the 500 Abarth is one of the safest cars of its segment, if we believe the famous Euro NCAP tests being proof. Using the Panda platform, the 500 largely has the qualities and defects. Note that it takes a certain time to adapt to take pleasure in the wheel without being frustrated by the intervention of electronics. But like the Panda 100 HP, the 500 Abarth does not lack agility with its short wheelbase and the rear is therefore rather mobile. A virtue that partially compensates for a front axle which slightly lacks biting in the face of references in the matter. The Abarth also has specific suspensions and reinforced braking (ventilated discs of 284 mm at the front with floating calipers) with ABS and electronic distributor which gives all satisfaction. Emergency braking assistance disrupts a little on the circuit, as well as the ESP rather well calibrated with the sport mode but not disconnectable. Handbrake followers go your way. Note also the presence of ASR traction control incorporating the hill starting functions and “TTC” (Torque Transfer Control) which acts as a self -locking by improving the transfer of the engine torque to the wheels. Over the few kilometers of our grip, the 500 Abarth appears relatively comfortable and seems to control the roll effectively. Sub-ordeal at the limit, it also allows itself slight drifts of the butt before its ESP intervene inexorably. Of sport therefore, but under close surveillance. Motoricity on the dry is also satisfactory, the permanent skating of the old Fiat Turbo now seeming of ancient history, certainly thanks to the optional raising 17 “and the omnipresent reinforcement of electronics. The steering, harder in sport mode, finds a little feeeling via this button. Efficient and relatively homogeneous, the 500 Abarth therefore distills sweetened venom and under assistance but the pleasure at the wheel is sufficient for mayonnaise to take. It is not certain that the 160 hp kit brings a real plus, except for pure performance, without harming this homogeneity too much. However, we still have to be determined during a more complete road test if comfort and efficiency do not lose their superb on the small high roads of our campaigns, or Parisian cobblestones. Finally, note that in Italy, Fiat opened the “Abarth Driving School – Sandro Munari”, a driving school produced in collaboration with the most famous Italian rally pilot. It provides courses – according to the needs and experience of participants – divided between theory and practice. An initiative to applaud and similar to that offered by Renault for its Twingo RS with the Renault Sport Experience Internship at € 1. Let us hope that Fiat France also imports this good iniative.

ESSE ESSE KIT
Presented on the limited series “Opening Edition”, Kit Esse Esse has mounted in the official abarth after-sales network, before delivery if it was ordered at the same time as the 500 Abarth, or even later, once habit of the normal version and its 135 hp. He carries the power of 1.4T at 160 hp at 5750 rpm with a maximum torque of 230 Nm at 3000 rpm. The performance becomes exhilarating, like 0 to 100 km/h crosses in 7 “4. In addition, the 500 Abarth could receive a “Assetto” kit including brakes with perforated disc brakes at the front and rear and high -performance brake pads. Also included in this future sport chassis, sportier springs and new rims. For fun, Abarth has provided that the cash register in which the complete kit is delivered, is returned to the customer with its original elements. Class in your living room ?!

:: CONCLUSION
Not very wild, the scorpion was domesticated but distills its joie de vivre of yesteryear. Sold more expensive than her big sister Punto, 18.500 euros basic in France, the Fiat 500 Abarth reflects the ambitions and the found confidence of the Fiat group. Maintaining the scarcity of its product by a restricted network of distributors, Fiat therefore focuses on exclusivity. Almost as insolent as a mini cooper by its price and just as charming aesthetically, the 500 Abarth offers a more assertive sportiness. Living and fun on a daily basis, it only shows its limits in very sporty conduct. Suddenly, the pilots who expected too much will wonder where the creator’s mind has gone and may turn to a more fun Suzuki, or a more efficient Renault. With the key a bonus of 3000 euros.

What our confreres think:
“Fiat was not allowed to give us a 500 abarth in the economy, a muddled starlet. The commitment is respected. Behind the devastating physique and the skill of the marketing concept, there is real content capable of making the happiness of scuists at the heart of Artichoke.””
Motorsport Magazine – September 2008 – Fiat 500 Abarth test.

“The whole Abarth spirit is well cut out in the very dynamic behavior and in the liveliness of the 500. However, the turbo runs out of steam and it takes a while to reach its maximum speed (205 km/h). [. ] We can also regret the 5 -speed gearbox, especially as a six -report box is available in the range with the 1.4 l 16 valves. More disappointing, the guidance of this box 5 is not up to the sports claims of the car.””
