Pre-owned 2012 FIAT 500 Abarth at Reedman-Toll Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT for Langhorne, PA

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 unleashes the brand's legendary performance heritage to American streets.

Under the 500 Abarth's Hood

To improve aerodynamics while creating the necessary engine compartment space for the all-new 1.4-liter MultiAir® Turbo engine the front fascia is more pronounced andpushed ahead of its signature "whiskers and logo" face, recalling the Abarth stylistic treatments from vintage 850 TC and 1000 TC models.  The signature "Abarth" shield floats on a finned surface that serves as an additional air intake. For a more aggressive look, a blacked-out fascia accent integrates projector-beam fog lamps and helps direct air for engine cooling.  From the rear, a large liftgate-mounted spoiler extends the roofline of the Fiat 500 Abarth and improves the vehicle's aerodynamic behavior by creating additional down force. Below, the two-piece Abarth-styled rear fascia accentuates the road-holding stance of this high-performance 500 and optimizes airflow output with its black-accented rear diffuser. In addition, symmetric, twin exhaust cutouts deliver a powerful look, while large concentric "double tip" exhausts provide a tuned sound and Abarth-exclusive look.

Design of FIAT 500 Abarth

The interior design theme of the FIAT 500 Abarth is an artistic blend of clean lines and functional performance appointments. An Abarth-designed steering wheel features a thick rim, perforated leather and flat bottom to provide the look, feel and increased roominess desired during at-the-limit driving. For easier operation, and to keep the driver's eyes on the road ahead, the FIAT 500 Abarth's steering wheel includes cruise, audio and BLUE&ME™ Handsfree Communication technology controls.  Behind the steering wheel, the FIAT 500 Abarth features a large concentric instrument cluster with 160-mph speedometer, tachometer and trip computer. The instrument-panel cluster brow is wrapped in Nero leather with Rosso accent stitching.  Unique to the FIAT 500 Abarth is the addition of an analog turbo-boost gauge with integrated LED shift light in the center that illuminates to optimize gear changes.  Abarth-designed aluminum pedal covers feature Nero rubber trim for a decidedly racing look, while the Nero leather shift knob with Rosso accent stitching provides a precise feel of the shifter.  Unique Abarth-styled front performance seats feature a one-piece design with large side bolsters, racing-harness pass through, accent stitching around the perimeter and integrated side-thorax air bags.

Conclusions

The FIAT 500 Abarth features an all-new air bag system to offer unique protection for its passengers to meet all U.S. regulatory requirements. Its seven standard air bags include: driver and front-passenger advanced multi-stage air bags, driver's knee air bag, full-length side-curtain air bags and standard seat-mounted side pelvic-thorax air bags, all offer enhanced occupant protection to all occupants in the event of a collision.  The Fiat 500 Abarth features a unique three-mode electronic stability control (ESC) system standard for improved braking performance in wet or panic conditions.  When the system is set "ESC On" (default) or "ESC Partial On," the ESC system is ready to intervene by integrating key chassis control systems including electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), anti-lock brake system (ABS) and traction control systems (TCS) to control all four wheels in response to yaw and steering input.  In effect, ESC determines the driver's intentions and adjusts the vehicle's dynamic forces to maintain the driver's intended course. Should the driver exceed the performance limits of the road surface such that the vehicle starts to oversteer or understeer ESC instantly analyzes input from the wheel sensors and corrects the pending loss of control by applying any one, several or all of the system's disc brakes. With its 1.4 Liter engine, the FIAT Abarth 500 is a fun car to drive.  The interior and exterior of the car are both very nice to look at.  If you want a fast car that is fun to drive, take a look at then 2012 FIAT 500 Abarth.
