Small but wicked! The Fiat Cinquecento-to
This is a Fiat Cinquecento-to and is the cutest of the cute. You’re not believed to be imprecating the non-natural chicane for breaking at 120 mph. It has 12-inch ventilated front rotors. It has twin exhaust pipes, 133 hp and a flat torque curve in an Abarth-tuned 1.4-liter turbo four.
The car weighs only 2,300 pounds and can hit 62 mph in 7.9 seconds.
It’s a fun mix of quickness and firmness. Meant for a fast corner, the Abarth will ride the bumps and burst out the other side. Jerking the sport button livens up the ESP and delivers more midrange gristle also.
When you fire up its Torque Transfer Control faux it gets even better. The system anticipates the onset of wheel spin and breaks the inside wheel, sending the drive to the other one. The TTC just controls the torque to create a chassis with a lot more drive, forcing power to the wheel with the most weight on it. And it turns the car into a hoot.
Another great Tuned Fiat here!

We need more “pocket-rockets” here in North America! Too bad Fiat hasn’t been imported here for over a decade!
BTW, your pictures show up too large in my browsers, covering up some of the text in Firefox and Safari.

Looks good but with the new Alfa Romeo Mito on sale it has some in house competition. I prefer the Alfa.

The Mito is a completely different size to the Fiat 500. The 500 is based on the Panda chassis, whereas the Mito is based on the Fiat Grande Punto.
The car that goes against the Mito in the Fiats range the the Grande Punto Abarth, its exactly the same size! Check it out!
