Along the years, Fiat`s hardcore division has shaped the carmaker`s models, creating unique rides with plenty of […]

When we think about the Fiat 500, we don’t think of it as just another small city car, especially when we talk about the Abarth version. What the 500 is (or at least was, before all the new versions of it) in fact, is a hot hatch, and one that still manages to get attention. […]

Fiat’s 500 long ago took over American fashion-conscious cities such as New York and the likes and has even went on to penetrate the rest of the U.S. market. The Italian company’s hotter version of the 500, something the Europeans have enjoyed for years was still reluctant to appear over there. Now, thanks to a […]
