For those who are not familiar with the Abarth badge, they are basically Fiat’s performance division, like Mercedes’ AMG or Nissan’s NISMO, but with a little more of a fun, psychotic twist. They are historically known for taking practical city econoboxes and injecting them with their special blend of rubber, turbo and scorpion venom. It makes their cars incredibly fun to drive, but also rather useless on the street in most cases. So is this new model any different? Can it actually be used day-to-day?
Keep your eyes peeled for an Abarth Tech Tips section in an upcoming issue of Grassroots Motorsports to learn you how to make yours faster and angrier.
