That your next car then

180bhp out of a 1.4 is madness!

EDIT: more to the point.. can you imagine that power in a Fiat 500

I'm waiting to see what the hot bravos look like

indeed, in the 500 it would be mental!

you could always go the mongrel route, and put the engine in the panda 100hp! any of the 500 abarth mods should bolt straight on, as they are the same platform....

Thats easy... just imagine the GP Abarth SS after one to many pies...

The GP Abarth SS looks very nice, is the normal Abarth model out yet? If so I can't say I've seen any around yet.

yes, I know someone who's test driven it, (less than £14k too) says it whoops his t-jet sporting (120bhp) mostly in the handling and braking areas, more than the extra power (his is tuned to about 150bhp) , little touches like the leather dash trim ect, makes it feel special too....

I wonder if they'll ever add a diesel engine to the Abarth line up.

Nah , the Bravo's a much better proportioned car , though there are some obvious similarities.

I doubt it, they are however working with lotus, and are going to release a two seater sports car next year! :eek: going to be a unique to abarth.....

the deisel in mine is good for serios power though, its the same engine in the 888 astra, if you put the turbo from the 150 m/jet (bravo) on the 130 engine in the punto sporting, it'll map to just over 200 bhp

On a looks front I much prefer the GP.

After driving a Bravo for a few hundred miles I really can't think of one good thing to say about it. :thumbdwn:

How would you say that name, I guessed at "Eh? See! See!"

eerrmm... SS

:P

eerrmm... SS

:P

thats right "s" "s"

See, its better to ask a stupid question than to never ask and remain stupid :P

I can see the new boot badges now

It'd be eth-ay, eth-ay if you were on Fiat's home turf, but I think the dealers are going to get a giggle out of seeing how many variations they get

These latest Fiats really are spot on. I think one will be a serious consideration for the vRS replacement.

I love the panda and and Abarth one sounds like huge fun!!
