The Fiat 500 Abarth!

Not just a styling exercise, the 500 Abarth "DA O A 100" tribute comes with an upgraded 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

Acceleration to sixty takes just 7.3 seconds, helped along by shortened gear ratios while its top speed is now 131 miles per hour.

Suspension bits are revised as well, with lowered springs and new 17-inch alloys fitted with low-profile Pirelli PZero Neros.

Very true Prossett. I really have a thing for small hot hatches.

The Honda Jazz, Fiat 500 and the Renault Twingo are among my favs.

Abarth made some real funky cars in the 70s and 80s, so Fiat would not mess with the name "Abarth" because to disrespect it would be a public relations disaster. In Italy, at least.

Here are some old skool Abarths 8) :
