2009 International Geneva Motor Show - Salon International de l'Auto
01. Abarth 500 SS
This is the nastiest street version of the Fiat 500--SuperSport or "esseesse" as writ on the engine cover--and it's a blast. Here the 1.4-liter Turbo T-Jet engine hits 157 hp and 170 ft-lb of torque in Sport mode. Zero to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds in this tight package feels like 5.0 flat. If either or both Chrysler and Fiat survive the long money meltdown, we could get this in the U.S. The upgrade kit presents itself in an attractive wooden crate with a stenciled scorpion and roughly 5,000 cars get tricked out thus per annum.
