What did they make that PS out of? I can see bits of Punto Evo Abarth and I'm sure there's a bit if Ka and Bravo in there. As Rob says, complete BS.....

i remember them saying it was going to look like this a few years ago and be a joint venture with Lotus :bang:

I also wonder when the AE exclusive Ferrari Dino based on a Porsche is coming out

Im pretty sure they both look something a bit like this:

Huh? THat's an Abarth 500c....

There is a high chance the Coupe will exist in 2 to 3 years from now. Have no doubt in my mind that it will look exactly nothing like the render shown in this thread though! But some interesting statements by Abarth:

However, the firm won’t be fixing its famous scorpion badge to any other Fiat models in the near future. According to Labate, the firm will focus on tuning other brands in the Fiat Group.

You could see Ferrari, Maserati, Lancia, Alfa etc bearing the Scorpion logo in the future!

And:

The fast-growing brand is now third, after Ferrari and Maserati, in terms of profitability in the Fiat Group

Amazing to think they only revived the brand 2 years ago or so, and they've only sold limited numbers, yet the Abarth brand is more profitable than Alfa, Fiat, Lancia etc. Quite impressive.

Looks like Judge Dredd's wife's car

LOL I just got to see the picture properly

I love how the headlight is blatantly a squashed version of something they stole somewhere else.

Here's the Ferrsche Dinyman effort
