Fiat 500 Abarth Opening Edition


The following clip is a beautifully shot video of the Fiat 500 Abarth 'Opening Edition', a special limited edition from Fiat's performance division, Abarth, featuring a 118 kW 1.4-litre turbo engine.

The Opening Edition is the fastest iteration of the 500 yet and can sprint from 0-100km/h in a zippy 7.4 seconds and onto a top speed of 211 km/h. On top of the performance boost, the special edition Fiat 500 also features a stack of extra goodies such as improved brakes, better handling via special low springs, a new intake and 17-inch alloy wheels painted in white or titanium and wrapped with Pirelli P-Zero Nero performance tyres.





All this equates to a zippy little performance car that will get you from A to B very quickly with a whole heap of fun in between. Read and see more of the Fiat 500 Abarth Opening Edition here.
