Who has heard of the Fiat 500? Everyone who only knows it as a boring economy car should meet the Fiat 500 Abarth. The name comes from the Italian (I think) company with the scorpion and the Fiat 500 Abarth has 8 scorpion logos on the outside of the car, and no doubt more on the inside. Motor Trend clocked a 0-60 time of 6.8 seconds, three seconds slower than the Abarth's little brother, the Fiat 500 sport. That's about half a second slower than the Mini Cooper S, the Abarth's main competitor. It gets 17 mpg city and 32 highway, according to Motor Trend. According to the Fiat website, it gets 34 mpg highway with the 1.4 liter turbo engine and a 5 speed manual transmission. If anyone reading this has ever driven one, please post about it in the comments. Oh, and one more thing. Here is the Motor Trend test for it and here is the link to the Fiat Website.
