Fiat 500's back, and it's back with a bang. This adorable, nippy subcompact car has gotten a serious workout.
You'd think that with a 'tiny' 1.4 litre inline-4 that this car would be slow. Well, when the car weighs only 1035 kilograms and makes 206 newton-metres of torque, you may want to think twice. That lightweight design, plus the wider tyres than the regular 500 (205 mm versus 185 mm) allow for some pretty nice cornering, though being obviously front wheel drive, it still understeers on entry. Still, that chav in his 'modded' Corsa should watch himself. Not only will he lose to you, but he will feel humiliation for picking a fight with the wrong subcompact.
I hear Fiat's going to be making a more powerful version of the Fiat 500 soon... anyone have details on this?

The model looks great! Even though it is a lightweight car... I still think it is too fast.

Wow great car!!! but for me it should be faster
Re: GRM - Fiat 500 Abarth "esseesse"
One says too slow, one says too fast. I'd say it has just perfect speed . I've tested most of your cars but I can say this is the one I enjoy driving the most. It's definately very easy to drive as it's small car and all but still also somehow technical to drive. Hope you would make more of these small racers
