Finally! Someone who sees the same car as I do! I don't understand the hype on this car. Yeah, its RWD, thats the only selling point for all the drift boys.

197 in the BRZ to be exact. But drop $1,000 in a Magneti Marelli ECU and a CAI and the Abarth becomes even more monstrous. Trust me, thats what I did with mine.

Turbo of course!

Dat ass.

Tis' a beautiful thing!

I'm feeling you on this one. I just got my wheel about a year ago, it was an $800 expense with the seat as well. They better find some way to make it compatible. Although, I'll be getting the One regardless.

Fantastic video. So much to see.

I continually post about how much I love it that Jalopnik loves my car. I have a 2012 Abarth and I've loved every minute of it. Mine has roughly 9,000 miles on it and it still puts a smile on my face every day.

Another commenter mentioned Abarth owners are "asshats", I'd venture to say that is the case with a lot…

I'm torn. The 458 is beautiful in any color, and the green with the tan leather does look pretty fantastic. Yet, I'd still prefer it in red, but I wouldn't kick the green one out of bed.

As a 2012 Abarth owner I love the Fiat 500, and this one does look excellent. But I'm worried about Fiat's over saturation with the 500 model. I think Americans have taken a liking to the 500 and the Fiat brand, but I would love to see a Panda or a Punto make its way over here.

I'd take it in any color because beggars can't be choosers!

That R18 is a stunner for sure.

The WRX saw how good they look on the 500 Abarth so it got some of its own.

I just want a better paying job so I can buy more cars!

Now I want to hear the audio of that gif.

I think where they wen't wrong with that design is the roof. If they would've just kept the low roofline and kept it a hatch and just made it a lower meaner looking Mini I would've like it more. Although, they are overpriced for what you get. If you want a hot hatch get an Abarth for 10,000 less or so.

The rider deserved that. I hope he was written some tickets as well.

That 0-60 time makes my brain hurt. Also, its sad to think that a lot of these demo/promotion cars are crushed.

I think it will look like a BRZ or an FR-S with some STi badges, maybe a different spoiler and body kit. It will still look plain jane like the standard ones. I just think the design lacks character.
