The Fiat 500 is one model we hope eventually makes it to the U.S., but while we continue to wait on this side of the pond, Europeans will get yet another crack at an Abarth-tuned 500. The latest model from the Italian tuner is called the “DA 0 A 100″ (from 0 to 100) and was created to commemorate what would have been the 100th birthday of Abarth founded Karl Abarth.
The Fiat 500 “DA 0 A 100″ comes packing a turbocharged 1.4L engine, producing a healthy 160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough juice to squirt the “DA 0 A 100″ from 0-60 in 7.3 seconds.

The “DA 0 A 100″ will also see a marked improvement in overall performance compared to the standard 500, thanks to a set of lowering springs, performance brakes and size 205 Pirelli Pzero Nero tires.

The special edition 500 will only be available in Nuvolari Grey, complete with an Abarth racing stripe, Abarth badging and quad exhaust outlets.

Only 101 examples of the “DA 0 A 100″ will be produced, with deliveries expected to start shortly.
