i soo want one lol
look abit like a micra
It certainly sounds very nice - I like the pops and crackles on gear shifts.
They've got their facts wrong though. The video says it will be a 1.6 with 200 cv (which is almost the same as bhp). We know that the car will almost certainly use the 1.4t engine and develop between 135 and 150 bhp.
I would be very surprised to see a 0 to 60 of less that 7 seconds.

Fiat has no current plans to release a 3 door bravo at the minute
So isn't 150bhp quick enough? lol
No.
Now that man speaks the truth!
To go from a 330bhp coupe to 150bhp arbarth..... dont think i could do it. However, the 200bhp aint gonna be far off the power to weight of mine.

abarth 500=135bhp abarth 500s=150bhp abarth 500sss=200bhp thats the projected model line up
I best start saving
I was gonna start saving for the GP Abarth, then the Bravo Abarth but I'm not too sure now :chin:
I need at least 200bhp to make me happy

yeah i know 200bhp in the 500,totally out of character in modern day fiats.its taken them 18months and counting to put a decent engine in the grand punto the 1.4t-jet but hey the same 200bhp engine output has been mentioned for a gp aswell so maybe its true
Well I've heard alot of things, like the GP was supposed to have 250bhp with 4WD.
Although I know FIAT are re-releasing the Abarth brand so it's a possibility the 500 could see close to the 200bhp mark.
