The Fiat 500 has caused something of a stir since its launch, and it's even won the Car of the Year award, no mean feat for a little Fiat.

Enthusiastic drivers have been left wanting though, as the largest engine currently available in the 500 is the 100hp 1.4 as seen in the Panda 100HP. Thing is, the Panda is more fun to drive and is also cheaper.

Fiat are hoping to change all that with a 500 aimed at drivers. The 500 Abarth Opening Edition has a 160hp engine taking the 0-60 time to 7.4 seconds.

The Abarth also comes with red brake callipers, special 17'' alloy wheels finished in white or titanium, tinted glass and a red leather interior. There are only two exterior colours available- Pearl White or Campovolo Grey.

Only 100 of these cars will be offered- so if you fancy one it might be worth calling your local dealer very soon.

Slightly bigger wheels and that would be perfect.

I quite like the look of these.

I seen a grown man driving one a week or so ago though, looked like he was sitting in the middle of a toy car, couldn't drive one about.

Hence why I no longer drive it. Black maybe...yellow was a touch embarrasing.
