Reminiscent of the original Cinquecento, the Fiat 500 builds on the vehicle’s global popularity. Since its initial launch in 2007, more than 1 million Fiat 500 vehicles have been sold in more than 110 countries. The model’s popularity is the result of the Fiat 500’s ability to deliver unmatched personalization options with advanced solutions in terms of quality, engine performance and passenger comfort.

Building on the excitement of the Fiat 500 (Cinquecento), the Fiat 500 Abarth and Abarth Cabrio are designed for track-day enthusiasts and driving purists who want the ultimate high-performance small car with the pedigree of an exclusive Italian exotic.
