Take a look at the mod list on this Insanely Modified 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth!

When The Fiat Brand was brought back to the United States, it got a fair amount of praise and criticism alike. The company did a great job of diving in and producing a performance model of their 500 model for enthusiasts. The 500 Abarth was a modified and upgraded version of the standard 500. This model included updated more aggressive styling, up-rated and lowered suspension, Larger brakes and wheels, a hotter engine and performance exhaust. Even though this is a performance model, people still want to get more out of the chassis. Being a light, nimble, turbo charged vehicle, there is a ton of performance left to be extracted. The car below has an entire list of performance modifications which enhance the driving experience and help promote a more enjoyable vehicle. Most of the parts are listed below were purchased from us and available through our retail store. Check out this heavily modified Fiat 500 Abarth and get some inspiration for your own personal build!
