And very tunable it seems..
I took this from Auto Express...
THE Abarth 500 has gone power crazy! With its snarling 133bhp 1.4-litre turbo engine, the tuned baby already has quite a reputation.
Buyers can take power to 158bhp with Abarth’s Esseesse upgrade – but for German tuner Karl Schnorr Kraftfahrzeuge, that’s still not enough.
It has added a bigger turbo, a sports exhaust and remapped the ECU to give an incredible 198bhp.
Visual upgrades include the red 17-inch alloys you see here, as well as lowered suspension for improved handling.
But the power output isn’t the only figure that’s risen – so has the price.
To turn your Abarth 500 into a Karl Schnorr firebreather will set you back nearly £4,500 on top of the £13,605 list price.
A bit more costly than a tuned five but it is brand new!
