Fiat tuning house, which has created a Fiat Abarth 500 Spyder, the as the reincarnation of a Ferrari sports car 695 Tributo."I want to build a separate car, something unique," said Antonino Labate, director for business operations Abarth.

The car will also use Competitizone with the automated manual gearbox Abarth was launched at 500C, will also be equipped with paddleshifters.

Package MultiAir 1.4 Fiat engine-powered 180 bhp turbo engines should be able to travel 250 km per hour and 000-100 km per hour in less than seven seconds.

Abarth will also build the same package of suspension tweaks used to create Esseesse lansiran performance of high performance version of the current 500.

Fiat is working hard on bring a sports coupe to the market by 2012. The sports car, dubbed Primo is being co-developed with Fiat’s sporty sibling, Abarth and will compete against the Mazda MX-5/Miata. While the sports car will be all-new, its size and transverse, mid-engined design will be similar to the Lotus Elise. The interior is also thought to use the same outline as the Elise; a fixed rear window with a simple, lift-out roof panel.
An internal source said speculation on the Internet is “wide of the mark”. It was suggest the forthcoming sports car will underpin the hugely expensive KTM X-Bow, which would contradict the fact the Fiat/Abarth sport car is predicted to start from under £25,000.Abarth will be design the car in-house, guided by CEO Head of design, Rubén Wainberg. Abarth is also developing its own tubular space frame for the car, which means Abarth can make good use of Fiat/Alfa modular suspension components and lightweight engines like the turbocharged 1.4 litre MultiAir, with around 170bhp. Fiat/Alfa is also launching its own 6 speed dual-clutch gearbox, although, a 7 speed dual-clutch is a possibility for the future.
The car is yet to be sign-off by CEO Sergio Marchionne, despite being at an advanced stage of engineering and design. One good point might be the size of the investment needed for a car that will demand global sales of no more than 5,000 units.
We expect the Fiat Primo is be launched first, with the racier Abarth variant arriving a year later.

While the first supermini Fiat 500s are arriving in the U.S. this year, there are no plans so far to release the boxy Qubo. That may not disappoint many American drivers because it takes about 16 seconds to get from 0 to 62. In fact, as Jeremy Clarkson of Britain's popular Top Gear car show wrote in the Sunday Times of London last year: "The Qubo is so slow that if you climbed into one this morning in Hunstanton and attempted to drive south as fast as possible, coastal erosion would swallow you up by Wednesday evening."
