No, it's not a Fiat 500...


Recommended Posts

It's an Abarth Tributo Ferrari:

The gloss black shows every spot of dust and imperfection unfortunately, but hey...and with it's little sister:

and the real thing - Abarth 595 Competitzione - this one is done in a green vinyl wrap at the Abarth Dealerships in central London:

You have the makings of a nice collection of 500's there. Do you by any chance have any pics, or a web link, for the matt grey car with the inset sliding window next to the black/white one?

The Grey car is a 695 Biposto - 2 seat, 245bhp:

the first one on sale in the UK appeared earlier this week at a price of around £33k - but the top of the range model will set you back £53k in the UK...

Or you could go for this version:

330BHP, street legal but no UK price available yet.

Never mind miles per gallon, you measure smiles per gallon ion these little rockets! :wicked:
