My new Fiat!

[Bushboy]

i wish!

 

[joecinq]

That is a cool looking car. I think it looks like a cross between the ka and the micra though, but obviously much more pimped.

 

[wolfracepunto]

Is this actually going to be built? If so is it the Sei replacement?

 

[black_cinq]

Its a micra with different headlights

 

[Bushboy]

yup its being built and is a replacement to the sei. its basicly the mk2 Fiat 500 that the cinq and sei were supposed to be but were completly different heh.

this one atleast looks like the 500.

I love it!

 

[Bob in disguise]

yeah i really like it but it needs a bigger engine

 

[HP]

I want one. Wonder if a 1242 turbo will fit...

It's a Micra with good headlights. It's the original though and up close it is different...

 

[PhatAshKi]

Found a site wit info about it, apprently the Abarth will be a 1.6 Turbo, and there are different size engines across the model

 

[PhatAshKi]

Here i found this on it

Engines & platform

1.4 16V (95 bhp), 1.6 (120 bhp), 1.6 Turbo (180 bhp) 1.3 MJet (90 & 120 bhp), FWD, 199 platform

lol - no, the micra looks bad from both front and back. Nasty car.

 

[GhostWKD]

bloomin 'eck, 180bhp in that lil thing? crikey!

 

[HP]

Don't be too shocked if that doesn't happen, sounds like a manufacturer's wild "Grab the attention" sort of a claim.

 

[GhostWKD]

lol i think i'll be more shocked if it does happen, i mean punto gt only had a 1.4 turbo, why would they put a bigger engine in a smaller car?
although saying that, there is a bit of a gap in the market for a hot hatch as there arnt many manufacturers making cars aimed at the hot hatch buyers at the mo really

I Need a Trepiuno, by the time that comes out, I will make sure the Cinq has retired for track and show use only!!!

1.6T, yeah? Im not believing that...Id say 1.4T at absolute most, and that'd be sill

 

[arseofbox]

I want one. Wonder if a 1242 turbo will fit...

Looks like the Turbo'll bolt on easy
Id say theyre doing the 1242cc 8v MPi as std!! Get that tuned and yure rocking!

Pug 206 GTI has 180bhp so why couldn't the Trep have it?

I don't think it will be that smaller, the new mini is the size of a 206.

[GhostWKD]

i'll get one on finance probs esp if they do a stupidly high powered 'un

 

[arseofbox]

Hmmm...

I was thinking Cinq Sized?
Its just the small car thing...cos the Cinq isnt designed as a sports / performance car, it never will be.. Its a cheap runaround that us loons just like making that bit more fun

Although having said that, my mum's old Clio (again!) was the Sports (1370cc/99BHp) version and that was so much better than the standard- virtually no body roll and took off like a small explosive device!! So, the Abarth Trep could be much better than the std Trep. Maybe 160BHp isnt that unreasonable then..

 

[surfin_fella]

it probably will be bigger than the Centos though!lol. The thing looked small in the Top Gear magazine but i think they'll make it slightly larger to compete with other "small" cars that are currently doing the rounds
