Abarth SS Concept by IED - Click above for high-res image gallery
While
Fiat's in-house tuning brand appears to be intensely occupied tweaking
Punto Evos and 500Cs for the European market - and supposedly a
500 Abarth for us as well -
Abarth also has an eye on its own sports car. According to
Autocar, this wouldn't be a microwave job on a Fiat, but a unique creation to serve as a halo car.
We've heard this
rumor a
number of times, with the most recent reports indicating Abarth has been working with
Lotus, perhaps using the next-generation
Elise chassis as a base. Apparently,
that idea has been nixed. However, the specs being discussed are quite Elise-like: two-seater, mid-engine, 200 horsepower, around 2,000 pounds. Whatever it is, Abarth's head of marketing said it will arrive within two years.
