Title: What is this? Post by: Thotos on November 03, 2009, 11:51:27 AM While browsing the Internet (as one does these days....) I found the photo below. But what is it? I've never seen it before and cant find any details about it.

The Abarth Coupe, a genuine sports car will now bring sense back. From the tuning arm of Fiat, utilizing the platform of the Fiat 500, they've created a low stance, lightweight, go-kart handling sportscar with a small revvy engine.

and if they squeezed that 1,4 turbo inside, it will be a blast Title: Re: What is this? Post by: miro-1980 on November 03, 2009, 11:50:20 PM FINALLY,
LOOKS GREAT ! (PORSCHE SHAPE ???) ;D ;D ;D Miro Title: Re: What is this? Post by: Testament on November 04, 2009, 05:30:12 PM not sure thats right about being based on the 500 platform as there were rumours about something using the lotus elise chassis - and that does look like something that could be based on the elise rather than the 500.

Title: Re: What is this? Post by: 106usj on November 04, 2009, 11:06:59 PM Is it Based on the 500. Have to admit it looks good in the white and red. A slight hint of the smart car but with balls......
