Fiat 500 Abarth Spied Sporting New Facelift
The Fiat 500 Abarth is set to receive a facelift, similar to the one the standard Fiat 500 received earlier this year.
AutoGuide.com‘s spy photographers have caught the refreshed Fiat 500 Abarth sporting a new front bumper with a more aggressive design and larger air intakes. The headlights and tail lights on the Abarth model will carry over from the refreshed 2016 Fiat 500 and you can expect the sporty model to get new wheels to round off the package.
Rumors suggest that the refreshed Fiat 500 Abarth will also get a bump in power to around the 190-horsepower range compared to the current 160 hp.
