2011 Fiat 500 Sport - Click above for high-res image gallery
Chrysler has officially pulled back the covers on the American version of the
Fiat 500 Sport. The pint-sized hatchback will be dueling with the
Mini Cooper on our shores in short order, powered by none-other than the Fiat 1.4-liter turbocharged Multiair four-cylinder engine. The Pentastar hasn't released power figures for the American version of the powerplant, nor do we know official fuel economy numbers. However, don't expect output to vary too much from the 135 horsepower available from the 1.4-liter in its European guise.
Chrysler says the Fiat 500 will be available starting later this year. Buyers should be able to opt for one of three models initially - Sport, Pop or Lounge - though the company hasn't mentioned what kind of differentiation we'll see between the three. We do know that Sport trim will feature a nifty sunroof, 16-inch alloy wheels and painted brake calipers.
Starting next year, a convertible version of the adorable Italian will make its way to our shores as well. You can find the full press release
after the jump.
