FIAT 500 Abarth Competizione





It's been about a year since Fiat's sporty Abarth firm returned to the Dutch market and to commemorate the event, the brand decided to release a special edition version of the Abarth 500 bearing the Competizione moniker. The model is special in the sense that only 10 will be built with a price tag of €24,995 - that's about $34,800 ahem, ahem... So what will those lucky Dutch buyers get for €3,000 over the price of a standard Abarth 500?

On the outside, the Competizione's features include a black roof top, unique 17-inch alloy wheels finished in black and graphics above the side skirts. Inside, the package adds a set of leather sport seats embossed with the Competizione logo while the standard equipment list now includes a navigation system, climate control, and an upgraded audio system.
In standard form, the 500 Abarth is powered by a 135HP 1.4-liter turbocharged four... while FIAT also offers the Esse Esse pkg, which boosts output to 160HP.

note- If you've never vistited Holland, the Dutch love Italian cars... gives one the impression that it's one of FIAT-Lancia-Alfa Romeo's strongest export markets... which it is.
