<\/small>Abarth 500C – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nFor every car, there’s a prospective customer. And for a car like the Fiat<\/a> 500C, a cutesy retro mini with a pseudo-cabrio sliding canvas roof, we hardly need to point out who that target demographic is. But as if to highlight what a difference the little things can make, the Abarth version<\/a> is another beast entirely.<\/p>\n

By “little things”, here we mean stuff like a 140-horsepower, 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a five-speed sequential paddle-shift transmission and a badass two-tone paint job. All that may not sound like much, but when applied to a little thing like the 500C, it represents the difference between the stock Fiat’s potential customer and the car nut who takes her out for an evening on the town. <\/p>\n

If the collaborative minds at Fiat and Chrysler<\/a> deem us worthy, we’d enthusiastically count ourselves among the Abarth 500C’s potential customers. But for now we’ll just have to enjoy admiring it on the show floor here in Geneva<\/a> where it’s just been unveiled, and we have the photos to prove it along with more details in the press release after the jump.<\/p>\n
