HAMANN tunes the Fiat 500

HAMANN has released its tuning package for the mini Fiat 500, called the HAMANN sportivo. To give it a little HAMANN touch on the outside, the German tuner first fitted the car with striking 17-inch black matt vanish rims and a strong sound of HAMANN’s sport exhaust system for the 1.4 liter petrol version.

Performance wise HAMANN put its engineers to work on the 1.3 liter Multijet 16V Fiat 500 diesel model, After re-programming the integrated control unit, the HAMANN Fiat 500 produces...

I like it! Being a fan of midsized cars forever, I really drool over these compact/subcompact with 90-120 hp, frugal, nice handling cars..how can I get my hands on one of these things? Is it comin to U.S.?

It's the way manufacturers are heading, putting all the technology from their mid and full-size performance cars are putting them into their entry-level models, keeping their sporting image intact but also keeping reducing their carbon footprint....for tax purposes of course.

I know Hamann is a third-party tuner, however the 500 will also be made as a Abarth from factory, and that's the one I would go for.

Too bad you Americans a re missing out, while your most advanced sports car is the Z06, the Europeans are making subcompacts with remote-reservoir dampers, trick LSDs and top-spec Brembo brakes.

Their chassis' have been honed by F1 drivers and engineers with their own performance division, and their turbo-charged engines produce ample power with low-down torque and good economy.
