2012 Fiat 500 Abarth- Only 10,887mi. Fastest Bolt-on Fiat On The Road on 2040-cars
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
|
I am selling my Abarth because I hate to see it sitting around. This vehicle was primarily owned by my older brother, he is an avid car enthusiast. I am a certified automotive technician and thus I preformed all the labor and modifications per all manufacturers' specifications. The wheels and tires were mounted elsewhere, as my shop does not have tire mounting and balancing equipment.
This Fiat Abarth is highly modified with astonishing power, handling and reliability alike. The equal length half-shafts provide equal power transfer to the road; this eliminates the common torque steer problem found in most high performance FWD vehicles. This car is very fast, it is road worthy, but it wouldn't take much work by the new owner to bring it up to competition track standards. The original manufacturer's warranty still stands.
The following is a list of modifications performed:
EXTERIOR: -All chrome trim painted body color (door handles, rear hatch handle) -Lester carbon fiber front badge -Rear badge shaved/filled -Rear windshield wiper delete -Autoplus Japan carbon fiber roof spoiler -35% tint -Scorpion badges removed from fenders -OEM 500t tinted headlights, taillights & turn signals (OEM European Models) -500madness.com 4500k HID kit INTERIOR:
-Seamless rear seat delete -Neu-f short shift adapter
SUSPENSION/BRAKES: -Kw v1 coilovers (includes tool kit) -Rrm tubular chassis braces -Nue-f front sway bar (adjustable) -Nue-f rear torsion bar -RRM brake pads
(Additional set of pads included) PERFORMANCE:
-Magnetti Merreli Piggyback ECU with remote (Includes both stock 87 & 91/93 octane tune) -ATM cold air intake (no puddle-sucking) -ATM intercooler -RRM exhaust WHEELS:
16x8.5 CCW LM12 in gunmetal w/brushed lips
Freshly polished (OE wheels and tired included) I have averaged 27-28 MPG average using the high performance tune and 93 octane fuel. |

Fiat Freemont Black Code is about as Italian as apple pie
Wed, 11 Sep 2013We're going to go ahead and give the marketing wizards at Fiat the benefit of the doubt, and say that they didn't have some regrettable American history in mind when they dubbed the latest iteration of the Dodge Journey Fiat Freemont "Black Code." Suffice it to say that such a special edition sobriquet wouldn't fly here in The States.
Risqué names or no, Fiat claims that the Freemont has been somewhat of a hit in Italy to date, with the automaker telling us that the crossover has led it's segment in the country for two years running now. The Black Code looks to build on that success by adding a top trim level to the basic formula.
The Black Code has got plenty of black accents, don't you worry; the CUV boasts new noir on the front grille, 19-inch alloy wheels, mirror covers and headlight frames. Standard three-zone climate control, heated leather seating, parking sensors and a navigation system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen highlight the list of standard features.
Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay
Sat, 23 Mar 2013A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).
