The Abarth 500 is a vehicle that can really take you in another dimension where nothing but driving thrills matters, we can tell you that. However, there are multiple tuners that insist on taking the little vehicle and almost doubling its power rating. Today, we are here to see what happens when an Italian hot hatch enters an Italian tuner’s crosshairs.
Romeo Ferraris has played with the Abarth 500, forcing the car’s 1.4 liter turbocharged unit, which delivers 135 hp when it leaves the factory, to produce no less than 260 hp. The pocket rocket even has a new name, being called 500 Estremo by Romeo Ferraris. Of course, such a hefty power premium couldn’t be released just like that, so the aftermarket developer also upgraded the transmission, the brakes and the suspension.
Of course, the vehicle also shows others that it is not an ordinary Abarth 500, as it comes with a new aerodynamic kit and is dressed in “Blu Pozzi”, a color that, according to the tuner, is borrowed from vehicles like the Ferrari 599 GTB and 612 Scaglieti. The interior has also received a lot of work and now uses materials like leather and Alcantara.
Here is the full list of tech goodies offered by the Romeo Ferraris 500 Estremo:
