The Debut Of the Abarth...first the LA Auto Show...next FIAT of Tacoma

         New 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth To Debut At The L.A. Auto Show



Auburn Hills, Mich. , Oct 31, 2011  -  Faithful to the ‘small but wicked’
saying coined for Karl Abarth’s cars in the 1960s, the new 2012 Fiat 500Abarth
arrives to America with the racing traditions that have made it a
success on European roadways and racetracks — world-class performance and
precision, purposeful and aggressive styling, high power-to-weight ratio
and limited-production volume.

Building on the excitement of the new 2012 Fiat 500 (Cinquecento), the new
Fiat 500 Abarth is designed for track-day enthusiasts and driving-purists
who want the ultimate high-performance small car with the pedigree of an
exclusive Italian exotic.

With its all-new 1.4-liter MultiAir® Turbo engine, Abarth-tuned suspension
and brake systems, race-inspired design, and technology features not
traditionally included on a small car, the new 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth will
unleash the brand’s legendary performance heritage to American streets.
