Novitec gives the 500 some well needed power
The new Fiat 500 Abarth looks well worth the wait but if you want to get your hands on a hot 500 right now, Novitec might have the answer.
Novitec are well known for mangling Ferraris and has now had a go at the baby Fiat.
There is a 13hp boost to the 1.3 diesel 500 but we are not particularly interested in that, it is the supercharged petrol version we want to get our hands on.
The 1.4 16-valve engine now a healthy has 131hp and the car will accelerate to 60mph in 8.8 seconds and on to a top speed of just under 130mph.
There is also a twin-tip stainless steel exhaust, a front spoiler and 16 or 17? wheels.
The suspension has also been modified to improve handling ? you can have either sport springs in combination with the production shock absorbers or a height-adjustable coil-over sport suspension set which can lower the car from 30 mm to 80mm.
