2009 Fiat 500 Abarth Flashback. Abarth has returned to the race track once again, and it has chosen to do so with the new Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse, mini supersports car from Abarth, due to be produced in a Limited Edition (49 cars). New vehicle, designed by the Fiat Group Automobiles Style Centre and produced by a team of Abarth Engineers and Designers will be the star of next year’s race tracks and the creation confirms Abarth’s racing call.
The 500 Abarth will be powered by a Fire 1.4 16v Turbo petrol engine that delivers a maximum of 135 bhp (99 kW) at 5,000 rpm and peak torque of 206 Nm at 3.000 rpm in ‘Sport’ mode (in ‘Normal’ mode torque is reduced to 180 Nm at 2,500 rpm). With this power, the Fiat 500 can accelerates from 0-60 mph / 0-100 km/h under just under seven seconds and maximum speed of 230km/h.
The Abarth bodykit consists of a new front and rear bumper, side skirts, a roof spoiler, a rear diffuser, red caps on the exterior mirrors, twin exhaust pipes, a restyled bonnet and larger, 16’’ or optionally, 17’’ alloy wheels. Inside the interior, the ‘cockpit’ of the 500 Abarth features special instrumentation which is derived from the outfit on the Fiat model, with the addition of an analogue pressure gauge to measure turbo pressure. It incorporates a LED telltale that optimizes gear changes by lighting up at the appropriate moment. Price for this car is unknown yet.
