Fiat 500 Abarth video

August 29th, 2007

Auto Motor und Sport have published a longer video of the new Fiat 500 Abarth during testing at the Nurburgring.  The video shows nothing new in terms of detail, but we thought it well worth a watch and bringing to wider attention.

Unfortunately we can’t show the video here as embedding has been disabled, but you can watch it all over on YouTube.  Enjoy!

Fiat 500 Abarth Photographed at the Ring

July 11th, 2007

More photographs of the forthcoming Fiat 500 Abarth testing at the Nurburgring have hit the web.

These latest images show the new 500 Abarth testing alongside its bigger relative, the Grande Punto Abarth. Once again the test vehicle in question is red with a splashing of black camouflage tape and various bits and pieces taped on or taped up.

It really looks like those working on the development the hot new Fiat have gone at this example with a Dremel, with quite severe frontal work including two air intakes cut into the bonnet. It appears options for effective cooling of the tuned engine(s) that will be shoehorned into the new 500s comparatively diminutive shell was the subject of the day.
