Based on reports of Lancia's love for ferrous oxide, don't you mean the only specimen in existance?
Herbie thought so too.

And yet, somehow, it still looks like pure sex
Tis nearly new, and horay for small
Is the exhaust note plenty raucous already?
I love those rims, don't even like aftermarket rims. But when factory rims look that good, I'll take em.
Enjoy the car. I just had a blast with mine tonight, been raining for like three days here so went to a parking lot and did some sprinted starts and e brake pulls. Getting a hang of driving manual.. I just bought a full shifter replacement. Was planning on keeping it stock, but I don't really like the feel of the stock shifter (very plastic).

Are you going to put the Abarth stripes on It? I would!

Very, no mufflers. All the rumble, all the turbine chop, all the popping.

Ehh, I would have ordered one with them, but I probably would have gotten tired of them. Solid color is kinda growing on me.
I was thinking of this kind of scorpion
In reply to dean1484:
Never had that, and if it has tequila in it, I never will....
Its still smaller than the Pulsar NX3200.....lol
You've got some strange/quirky cars and the abarth fits right in.
Pulsar NX3200? You put a Benz motor in a Nissan?
In reply to G_Body_Man:
SHO 3.2L....
And here I was thinking you meant this kind of scorpion
Nice Abarth, but we're going to need more details on SHO-swapping a Nissan Pulsar NX.

No tequila that I know of.
I've seen some good aftermarket Abarth logos and stripe ideas if you don't want to look factory. Different colors too. Fiat on the Dragon in April, I saw so many ideas if I didn't already have the OEM set.

I sold the drivetrain to the person who swapped it a long time ago.....I tracked it down earlier this year and decided I would be the one to restore it to its former glory. Haven't gotten anything done with it really, was too busy giving the bikes a thorough going through and then broke my collar bone. It'll get done eventually, but the important thing is if I ever could make the grm challenge, the pulsar would be well under budget even if I bought a direct port n2o setup.
You know, I know the FiSt will kick it's ass, and I know there multiple hot hatches out there that are better overall and in any particular demographic you want to judge by...but the Abarth has an exhaust note that is just addictive.
Was this car like a wind of change in your life? Does it rock you like a hurricane when you drive it?
In reply to Flight Service:
My take on the Abarth is that it is cute & cuddly enough to attract cute young blondes, then loud and abnoxious enough to make them scamper away clutching bibles.....
In reply to WOW Really Paul?:
you should write copy for Fiat
In reply to logdog:
It does exactly what a hot hatch is supposed to do, bring out your inner teenage hooligan.
