The design was immediately regarded as extremely appealing, featuring stylistic solutions reinterpreted in a modern and contemporary way, while recalling the “classic” Fiat 500 that first appeared on the market in 1957. Based on the Fiat 500, the intriguing 500 Abarth version was also created, following in the footsteps of Fiat’s historic small sports car produced since the late 1950s. The “Abarth” differs from the model it is derived from through its distinctly sporty design, with air intakes, side skirts, and larger bumpers. Significant mechanical upgrades were also introduced, including a turbocharged engine capable of delivering excellent performance, sporty exhausts with their distinctive sound, and lowered suspension to enhance road handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_attachment\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFiat 500 (2007) is an Italian passenger car belonging to the class of city cars, which was first presented to the general public in 2007 at the Paris Motor Show and in Turin.

In its design, completely different from its predecessor, it refers to the Fiat car of the same name, but produced in the years 1957-1975. The changes also concerned minor modernizations of the steering and braking systems, as well as the introduction of more extensive additional and basic equipment. The range of usable engines has also been completely changed, significantly enlarging it, as well as using power units with significantly more power. The main body versions in which the car is offered are hatchback and convertible. The Fiat 500 was also tuned by Abarth, which aimed at installing more powerful engines, slight changes in the design and modernization of the steering and braking systems. For example, the models modernized in such a way are for example Fiat Abarth: 500 Assetto Corse or 695 Tributo Ferrari.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68305104404731,"sku":"8001283036740","price":879.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/0398\/4552\/files\/Italeri-1-24-500-Abarth-2008.jpg?v=1791816217","url":"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/products\/ita3674","provider":"Jix Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
