New Fiat Abarth to debut at LA Auto Show

‘Small but wicked’ was the saying coined for Karl Abarth’s cars in the 1960s and the new 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth will bring the racing traditions that have made Abarth a success on European roadways and racetracks to the Los Angeles Auto Show November 18-27.

Building on the excitement of the new 2012 Fiat 500, the new Abarth is designed for track-day enthusiasts and driving purists who want the ultimate high-performance small car with the pedigree of an exclusive Italian exotic.

Equipped with a 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 will unleash the brand’s legendary performance heritage on American streets.
