At this year's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/">Geneva Motor Show</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/abarth">Abarth</a>-tuned versions of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/24/abarth-500c-punto-evo-geneva-preview/">Fiat 500C and Punto Evo</a> debuted, adding some <em>cajones</em> to the cute-as-a-bug Fiat 500C and the no-less-lovable Punto. Now, at the <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/paris-motor-show">Paris Motor Show</a>, the mark of the Scorpion brought us even <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/17/hotter-versions-planned-as-abarth-500c-and-punto-evo-hit-the-mar/">hotter versions of both</a>, and our reaction was that the difference between 500C, Abarth 500C and Abarth 500C EsseEsse is much more than just shades of gray.<br />
<br />
Wearing a gray-on-gray paint job and carrying the EsseEsse postscript - Italian for "SS" - the Abarth 500C gets a substantial boost in output and a variety of upgrades to match. In the case of the 500C, it picks up 22 tiny ponies under its curved bonnet to bring the total to 160 horsepower. That's good for a 7.6-second sprint to 62 miles per hour. Perhaps not record-breaking, but just look at it; cute as a button and pretty darn quick.<br />
<br />
The EsseEsse also features an array of upgrades to the suspension, brakes, rolling stock and more, plus Blue&Me connectivity and Record Monza exhaust.

العربية دى عارفين بتفكرنى بايه,
جملة ساخرة وردت فى فيلم شجيع السيما لما كان احمد ادم يرفض طلب المنتج لعمل فيلم اخر بنفس الشخصية الناجحة جماهيريا,
عملنا تامر فى الأدغال, و تامر فى الجيش, و تامر فى المطافى, و تامر المغامر, و تامر الجبار, ناقص نعمل تامر الله يسهله!
فيات انتجت كل ما يخطر على البال من هذه السيارة, فمنها سيارة مدنية, و سيارة "باربى" للبنات, و سيارة رياضية, و سيارة ب"صلصلة" فيرارى!! الله يسهلها بقى!!
