How much would you be willing to pay for a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fiat500">Fiat 500</a>? Fifteen grand? Twenty? Thirty? How about nearly $50,000. That's how much the cr&egrave;me-de-la-cr&egrave;me <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/09/officially-official-fiat-confirms-abarth-695-tributo-ferrari/">Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari</a> is going for now that it's reaching the market.<br />
<br />
For a quick refresher, the special-edition 500 was <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/frankfurt-2009-abarth-695-tributo-ferrari-punches-above-its-wei/">unveiled almost a year ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show</a>. It packs a 180-horsepower 1.4-liter 16-valve turbocharged four-pot, beefed-up suspension, wheels and brakes and a special paint scheme inspired by its big brother, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ferrari">Ferrari</a> 430 Scuderia. A scant 152 examples are being produced in right-hand drive for the British market, and each is carrying a whopping price tag of &pound;29,600, or about $47k in American greenbacks. <br />
<br />
Now the 695 Tributo Ferrari may be the ultimate manifestation of the Fiat 500 to date. It may even be the next best thing to a Ferrari, though we doubt it. But is it worth $47,000? Fiat will surely sell the entire production run, but then "value" isn't the objective value it once was.
