The small 500 Abarth, which is based on the Fiat 500 released in 2007, appeared on the market in 2008 for the first time. However, even today, This model still acts as a reference in the sports city car category, Particularly because competition is almost inexistent today because of environmental standards, but also because, despite its age, it remains an excellent little sportswoman.

Abarth has also been able to develop its product thanks to different versions, special series, and even fairly exclusive models, of which The famous abarth 695 biposto of 180 horsepower and equipped with a flashbox. A model that we had the opportunity to take charge a few years ago, and which remains, even today, one of our favorites in terms of sports car.

In addition to the Abarth brand strictly speaking, some preparers have also looked into the case of this small 500, with the only limits their imagination visibly. Proof of it is, out of the five abarth that we present to you today, The least powerful is 240 horsepower. That is to say already 60 horsepower more than the most powerful of serial abarth. As for the most powerful, we dare to imagine the machine that it must be, with more than 400 horsepower under the hood of a city car who barely exceeds.

Abarth 595 Hercules: 220 hp and an impressive style

Knowing that the Abarth 595 develops 180 horsepower in its “Competizione” configuration, so 40 horses are won thanks to Pogea Racing which presents its tuning type program as an Abarth 595 Hercules, just that ! Before returning to the engine of the latter, let’s focus on its rather “ferocious” design.

At the front, the hood of this Abarth 595 Hercules reveals two unpublished air entrances and … that’s all. On the other hand, seen from profile, the Citadine at Scorpion reveals huge wing enlargeers as well as cash flows. As for the rims, they are 18 inch size and mounted by Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

Fans of the powerful Italian will, of course, have noticed that the car is much lower than the Standard Abarth 595. This gives, in figures, 45 mm less thanks to a specific suspension.

In the back, it’s a fin turn to make its contribution to the Racing look of this Abarth 595. Note that all the new elements previously mentioned are in carbon fiber.

Under its front cover, this car therefore hides a 1.4 L T-jet of 180 hp with which a 5-speed automatic gearbox is associated. To increase the power of the engine block, Pogea Racing has equipped the abarth with an exhaust system called “Monsterexhaust” knowing that engine cartography has been reworked. It is therefore 220 horsepower which are claimed by the German preparer for the 595 Hercules, the couple of the latter being announced for 350 nm.

Finally, for the interested parties, know that this “Herculean” preparation is available for € 18,810, the starting price of a 595 Competizione being, for info, of € 27,340. Not without humor, note that this body kit is not suitable for the new Fiat 500 100% electric.
