Fiat 500 Sportster Gets Chopped Roof From G-Tech
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of G-Tech, which released a custom Abarth 500 tuning package a couple of years ago. The company has continued tuning the Italian compact Fiat 500 model, and its Sportster is the coolest one yet.
In case you’re still wondering why this Fiat 500 Abarth model looks so strange, look closely at the roof. That’s right, G-Tech chopped the roof of the 500, killing some headroom and making it less practical – but making it look that much sleeker. The lowered roof is complemented by a full body kit with new bumpers, grilles, side skirts, a rear diffuser and roof spoiler.
On the inside, G-Tech swaps out the factory seats for Recaro pieces, while the factory steering wheel has been replaced by a Momo unit.
If you’re interested in ordering one, G-Tech also packs the 500 with plenty of punch from the 1.4-liter turbocharged powerplant. Packages are available up to 335 hp while the entry-level model has 221 hp though pricing wasn’t announced.
