      Abarth Reviews

      Abarth is a renowned Italian tuning house which is now part of the giant car-making conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The stylised scorpion Abarth badge seen on mainstream Fiat models signifies upgraded handling and brakes, improved performance, and sporty exterior and interior styling. All models are made in Italy and are based on the diminutive Fiat 500. They include the Abarth 595 Turismo, Abarth Competizione, and Abarth Competizione Convertible.
