Pretty, sexy, stylish, hot, cool, whatever. You can throw a ton of adjectives at the Fiat 500 Abarth that all describe how it looks from the outside. But if it isn’t fun to drive, is it really cool?
Thankfully for the Abarth, it is the sweetest car in the 500 lineup. The base model, the plain old 500, feels like a dud next to the Abarth. The base model gets 101 horsepower and 98 pound-feet of torque, and is priced starting at $16,000.
But throw in an extra $6,000 for the Abarth, and you get a 1.4 liter four-cylinder engine that gets 160 horsepower and 170 foot-pounds of torque. It’s a big improvement for this pint-sized car, making it feel much more nimble and exhilarating.
Abarth, for the uninitiated, is an Italian racing car maker that started in 1949. Its logo is a stylized scorpion, which adorns the 500 Abarth’s engine cover. The car comes in fewer colors than the base model – just black, grey, red and white, thank you very much, but you can add on some racing stripes to make it more personalized.
For a starting price of $22,000 the Fiat 500 Abarth is a pretty awesome-looking set of wheels, and a pretty sweet driving experience.
