New Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse Car Pictures
With the revival of the Abarth tuning division, Fiat is serious about motorsports. They’ve been racking up victories in the Intercontinental Rally Championship with the Punto, and have even been sponsoring Valentino Rossi’s MotoGP Yamaha. And to drive the point home, while the "esseesse" (read: SS) version of the Cinquecento Abarth was the division’s new reveal, it was this racing version, called the Assetto Corse, that took center stage.

The Assetto Corse is, of course, based on the same Fiat 500 that’s been selling like adorable little hotcakes in every market it’s hit so far. But the cute factor is gone, replaced by big air scoops, giant wings, roll cages and little scorpion badges everywhere. (And we do mean everywhere.) The little racing car that could is packed with a 1.4-liter 16-valve turbocharged four driving 190 hp through a six-speed shifter to the front set of 17" powder-coated white alloys hiding 4-piston Brembo calipers.

The interior has a full roll cage and racing bucket, and an aggressive aero package sets the exterior apart from its street-bound progenitors. The first car looks very comfortable.
