2012 Fiat 500 Abarth 695 Assetto Corse

Exciting new car models are being shown off at the Bologna Motor Show this year with the spotlights centering on Fiat. Abarth, the company’s in-house tuning developers, have come up with four new limited edition models: the 595 Turismo, 595 Competizione, 695 Assetto Corse and the Punto Scorpione. Of the four, perhaps the most enticing is the Assetto Corse, which churns out a staggering 204 horsepower from its 1.4 liter racing engine. Originally based on the 695 Tributo Ferrari from 2009, which was already a street-legal race car, it’s no wonder this new fully track prepped racing version is rumored to give even the fastest of hot hatches a run for its money.
