At The Track // Fiat 500 Abarth

Umberto Scandola pilots the Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse at speed. Fiat is producing only 50 of these track ready 500 Abarth's, and have tuned the turbocharged 1.4 liter to a solid 200bhp and 221 lb/ft of torque. Minus 400 pounds in body weight from an already subcompact auto, and you have a potent little car. Those Italians sure know how to do it // 07.25.2008
