The US Fiat 500 Abarth...How much horsepower? Try 170hp!

Chrysler has just released their specifications on the 1.4L MultiAir engine that will equip the Fiat 500 Abarth. The 1.4L MultiAir Turbo will be rated at 170hp* , that's up from the standard European spec'd version with 135hp and even up from the optional Esseesse version with 160hp. The US version 1.4-liter FIRE Turbo with Multiair* 170 horsepower (128 kW) @ 6750 rpm 170 lb.-ft. (231 Nm) of torque @ 3000 rpm That power output, 2.04hp/cu in (124 hp/litre), puts the 1.4L MultiAir Turbo engine as having one of the highest specific power values in the world! Previously, I speculated that the original Abarth's 135hp wouldn't be sufficient for the US market, based on its competitors (you can read more about that here ). I thought a 3 cylinder SGE engine with 157hp or, better yet, the 170hp unit from the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde would be more like it. Well it looks like the Quadrifoglio engine specs won out. The 1.4 Turbo MultiAir going into the 500 A...

Fiat 500 Abarth Oil Change

Oil is the life blood of an engine, and this is especially true of the Fiat 500 Abarth's MultiAir engine. With its MultiAir valvetrain technology, the sophisticated engine is a marvel of engineering and ingenuity. The intake valves are operated by electro-hydraulic solenoids giving the engine infinitely variable valve timing -stroke by stroke - cylinder by cylinder. The engine is tuned to deliver maximum fun to drive characteristics meaning great low end torque along with substantial high rpm horsepower. This is done while achieving excellent fuel economy and the required low emissions. The proof is the Fiat 500 Abarth's engine has a specific power output of 117 bhp/L, beating the 114 bhp/L for the Mazda Speed 2, 113 bhp/L for the MINI S and 100 bhp/L in the VW GTI and still manages to be the most fuel efficient performance car available in the US. Surprisingly, maintenance on the high performance Fiat 500 Abarth engine is kept to a minimum: oil and filter changes every 6 m...

2012 Fiat 500: Pricing

By now you know the Fiat 500 is a global phenomenon, being sold in more than 80 countries and winning more than 60 major awards. But besides the award-winning design the Fiat 500 offers an outstanding value story with a seemingly endless list of features/equipment. There are three versions of the Fiat 500: Pop, Sport and Lounge. All versions are well equipped (the Pop has over 100 standard features) and provide a way to express your individuality. Fiat 500 Pop The Fiat 500 Pop is for those who appreciate Italian style, efficiency and want personalization options. Here is a list of some of the equipment the Fiat 500 Pop includes: 5 speed manual transmission, 15-inch steel wheels with chrome-accented wheel covers and all-season tires Electronic stability control (ESC) with four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS), all-speed traction control system (TCS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist Seven standard air bags Air conditioning AM/FM/CD/MP3 rad...

A look at the Fiat 500 Instrument Panel

The Fiat 500 instrument cluster contains all the vital information needed and sits directly in front of the driver and not scattered around the dashboard. Fiat 500 Abarth Instrument Panel shown. The stylized instrument cluster on the Fiat 500 is a favorite feature among Fiat owners. The attractive panel houses the speedometer, tachometer, and an Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) that contains an engine temperature and fuel gauge. There is also an ambient light sensor that automatically adjust panel lighting for changing light conditions and the cluster has provisions for up to 31 warning indicators.

Fiat 500 Pricing: How much will it cost?

This post is from 2009; exactly 1 year before the official pricing of the 2012 Fiat 500 was announced. Read the article and then go HERE to see how close I got! Much speculation exists on the Internet on what price the Fiat 500 will be. It seems that people who aren't thrilled with the Chrysler/Fiat merger put a negative spin out there that the 500 will be in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. Those who are more objective feel it would start in the mid teens. While we don't know what the final pricing will be, we do know that the 500 is priced lower than the Mini in all the markets it competes with. With that in mind, let's have some fun and speculate what a new Fiat 500 would cost now if it were being sold today. To do that, we'll take a look at a comparison between Mini prices and the 500 in various countries. In a semi-scientific way, we can interpolate what the price difference in America would be . A couple of notes before we start, these prices were taken fro...

What are the differences between the Pop, Sport and Lounge versions of the Fiat 500?

Fiat 500 with Chrome kit In Europe, there are 4 versions of the 500 (Naked, Pop, Sport and Lounge). The Naked version is sold in select countries. The other three are more commonly marketed in most countries, however, it is yet to be announced what versions will come to the US. One of the popular features of the 500 is the high level of standard equipment and also the high level of customization / accessories available (if you take all the accessories into account, there is calculated to be 549,936 combinations available to customize a 500 ). Rest assured, Chrysler's Mopar accessory division will be gearing up to offer these accessories for the 500. Here's a brief rundown on the standard features that come on the different versions.
