Fiat 500 Abarth gets a tune-up by Hamann

The performance upgrades are available for both the Fiat 500 Abarth as well as the Fiat 500 Abarth Esseesse models, and comes in five different stages, to provide a maximum power output of 271bhp and 380Nm of torque.

The standard 500 Abarth is able to put out 133bhp from its 1.4-litre engine, while the 500 Anarth Esseesse churns out 158bhp and 230Nm. Hamann has worked on the engine computer, turbo charger, air filter, and exhaust system, as well as improved the powertrain by using new connecting rods, forged pistons, air cooler, racing clutch, modified gearbox, and a new flywheel.

There are also bigger brake discs with four-piston callipers, matched with either matte or glossy 18-inch wheels, and a self-locking differential is also available. Hamann has also added a new front skirt with LED daytime lighting, while new side skirts and wings at the side and rear give the car an additional 30mm of width and 35mm at the rear.
