The small and powerful Fiat 500 rolled into the scene in the 1960s. Since then, Fiat's vision of the 500 hasn't really changed.

The Fiat Abarth 500 was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva auto show. A 1.4-liter Fire engine with an IHI variable geometry turbocharger powers it. The Abarth 500 has 135 horsepower (101 kW) and 180Nm of torque, with the option with 160 horsepower and 206Nm in sports mode.

In this Web video, Vicky Parrott, and Autocar reviewer, takes a Fiat Abarth 500 Trophy on a test drive around a track.
