Saturday 11th February 2012
Just released are the first official pictures of the new Fiat 500 Abarth – a high performance version of the Fiat 500 city car which went on sale in the UK last month.
The Fiat 500 has attracted critical acclaim, created astonishing interest and stoked up colossal passion… and now the new Fiat 500 is racking up the honours.
Blue&Me is an innovative, Windows Mobile-based system arising out of a joint venture between Fiat and Microsoft.
A first for vehicles in this segment, the new Fiat 500 has been awarded a maximum 5-star safety rating in the gruelling Euro NCAP crash test programme, placing it at the very top of its category in terms of passive, active and preventive safety.
Derived from Fiat Centro Stile’s widely applauded Trepiuno concept car first shown at the 2004 Geneva Motorshow, the 3-door Fiat 500’s very short bonnet and minimal front and rear overhangs create an exceptionally compact bodyshell, measuring just 3546mm in length, 1627 mm in width and 1488 mm in height.
Despite its compact overall dimensions, the new Fiat 500’s 2300 mm wheelbase affords it a capacious, flexible interior with seating for four adults.
