Fiat is about to reveal its new Abarth Coupe which is expected to be the most exciting two-seater performance vehicle for 2010. The Abarth Coupe is planned to come in three variations to make a highly competitive statement on the performance car market. Fiat is in high spirits after its 500 Abarth, set to be on sale next month, received a great welcome and, at the same time, with the introduction of its Punto Abarth earlier this month.
With many car buyers seeking smaller and more cost-effective vehicles, Fiat is right in introducing such a model. The Coupe, which is based on the platform of the 500 Abarth, will limit costs to a minimum by utilizing a simple FWD, front-engine configuration and by carrying over most of the components and switch gear directly from the 500 Abarth. The Coupe will come with a lightweight aluminum chassis and lower ride height to maintain its superb handling and compact size suited for the serpentine streets of Europe and small enough to go through town traffic seamlessly.
