Drinking and driving do not mix but nobody ever said you could not have fun while driving! This, you can do, with the Abarth 500. It is definitely one of the cars fully flavored with character.

The Abarth may be a popular auto among its Italian fans but the new generation may think nothing of it—yet. That may be the reason why the designers of the Abarth 500 made sure that this miniscule auto will be able to turn heads anywhere, anytime.

If you think the auto is familiar then you got it right considering that it made use of the Fiat 500 as its base. This auto has a lot of stage—err—road presence in part due to the front bumper giving it that aggressive look, the distinctive cabin, sports seats and red stitching.

The Abarth 500 is a hot hatch, with a 1.4-Liter turbocharged 16 valve engine with 135 horsepower. It sire is not as fast as the Ralliart Colt but it has a good grip. The Abarth 500 has an electronic Torque Transfer Control system, Brembo disc brakes and funky rims.
