Fiat is set to debut the 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth at the upcoming 2011 LA Auto Show. Building on the momentum of the 2012 Fiat 500 (Cinquecento), the Abarth is designed for driving purists and track-day enthusiasts seeking a high-performance small car with the pedigree of an Italian exotic. The North American model is expected to mirror the European specification, featuring a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine producing 140 PS (138 bhp / 103 kW), alongside Abarth-tuned suspension and braking systems. Further details will be revealed during the show.
