Fiat 500 Abarth SS new renderings
Abarth will launch the Fiat 500 at the Geneva Motor Show in March, while the SS, the top of the class will be launched just before the summer. They are likely to be priced at £13,500 and £15,000 respectively. The 500 SS will deliver enough power to compete against the MINI’s flagship Cooper S.
The standard Abarth 500’s engine produces 135bhp, the SS has an even more powerful version that delivers 155bhp. With a kerbweight of around 1,000kg, the 500 promises to be a sensational performer: it will complete the sprint from 0-60mph in only 7.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 130mph.
Abarth will also offer a special tuning kit that will deliver 180 hp and will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in less than 5 seconds.
