New Abarth 500 - 2012 or 2013?
« on: January 06, 2012, 09:00:34 AM »
Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas about when the new Abarth 500 will be released?
Am I right in saying that the 500 shape is due for a slight upgrade? Much like the new Panda just has been for 2012 (being released very shortly).

Any help would be appreciated.  :)

That is not set in stone and info on any face lift will come only when the Italians are ready to tell us.

Thanks for the info!

Might have to have a bit more of a think about getting an Abarth and not waiting for a new facelift to come out.

I've recently been over to the states and the review of the 2012 A500 has the multiair engine in it. The magazine also claimed a 0-60mph of 6.8 secs!

Sounds decent!
