Abarth Doblo's

Now this is something that should be done! Would be very tempted by a window version



Would look even better without the light bar imo

or this one,

Hells yes!

Quite like the first one, not so sure about the second one though. But yeah, the principle of a sporting van is pretty interesting. Wonder how much those chaps who built the XJTransit220 would sell it off for

Not sure what you mean by proper abarth? First is styled from abarth 500 and imo second is styled from a punto evo abarth

Nice find there Venters, certainly classier than the tranny equivalent

First one just lloks like a modified Doblo Van with Abarth Vinyl.
Look at the second one more, the Alloys, the front end, just looks like an Abarth should look like.

Full kit and arches on first one with alloys and interior.
Front bumper, wheels and rubbing strips on second.

Are they just PS or fiat actually thinking about making it ?

Seriously it looks well minted!

I'd be very surprised if they go into production.
The first picture comes from the site which gave us this.

The two Doblo's are sadly just PS's. Venters one I believe to be Fiat's 2011 April Fools joke similar to what BMW do. Suggesting it could be in larger Abarth showrooms soon. TBH I don't know why they don't do it, would be great marketing and compete against the Tranny ST van.

If it were the type of thing I wanted, I would probably style a Doblo like the top one as I think it's pretty cool

Yup had an interesting spec too.
The Abarth Ducato Maxi comes with a 217bhp 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine and sits on unique 20-inch alloy wheels finished in Anthracite Abarth. Aside from these performance upgrades, the Abarth Ducato Maxi has unchanged brakes as Abarth believes these are unlikely to be used.

As well as the Abarth interior upgrades, the Ducato Maxi comes with new performance technology. This includes Fast-Lane Assist, which warns the driver if the van begins to wander out of the overtaking lane. Radar-Controlled Cruise Control also ensures the Abarth Ducato Maxi maintains a safe 8cm distance from the car in front at all times.

Other new tech for the Abarth Ducato Maxi covers the Red Light Assist to apply maximum acceleration if the system senses the traffic lights are about to turn red in front of the vehicle. Also, Blind Spot Enhancement turns the side windows of the Abarth Ducato Maxi opaque, which helps the driver ignore their surroundings.
