I got back a few days ago, and noticed this parked on my neighbours drive



I remember seeing them review it on top gear (which I watched online while away).

It's the first one I've seen and to be honest, I'm surprised how much I like it. The fiat 500 looks so girly, but this Abarth version looks cool makes my car look so shit parked next to it, so old and dated.

Anyone actually driven one? any good?

I have yet to see one in the metal tbh.
Weren't they a limited addition so only so many made?

I like the front from that side view, looks mean with that big bulge.

Where did you get that bhp figure from

Their website says 136bhp and 206nm (152 lb/ft)

And i cant imagine it being great fun on a motorway journey Plus its only a 1.4 T

Where did i say it wouldn't

Just saying, as i do long motorway runs i don't think a 1.4 petrol would be much fun

It'll tick over not not using the turbo on a motorway run, feeling as comfy as any other 1.4 at 70 or 80?

Yeah I can see high speeds being a bit scream though, i'll go with you o that!

Hmm, I don't know - I only saw it on Top Gear when I was away and clarkson was driving one with 160 bhp that looked like that one I posted.

I think it was still an Abarth but called an SS version.
