Fiat has chosen the Tokyo Motor Show in October, rather than January’s Geneva show. Full details on the hottest 500 aren’t known, but we’re expecting the 1.4 liter turbo from Fiat’s Panda in either 120 or 150 horsepower variants. It’s also expected that the Fiat 500 Abarth will eventually make it to the United States and Canada, a market that hasn’t seen the Fiat name in 25 years.
Abarth, a longtime performance name associated with Fiat, is designed to become Fiat’s performance arm. An Abarth version of the 500 has been expected since the “nuova Cincquecento” was announced, but the expected convertible hasn’t been officially announced yet.
