Scagliarini Motorsports Creates One-off 4x4 504 Zagato Coupe Elaborata

American-based design house Scagliarini Motorsports has unveiled its latest creation, the 504 Coupe Zagato Elaborata, or 504cze. As the name implies, the car is inspired by Zagato’s 500 Coupe concept that was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show last March.

Painted in a bright Lamborghini Arancio hue –that’s orange to you and me- the 504 Coupe Zagato Elaborata is based on the Abarth 500 esseesse with power coming from a 1.4-liter MultiAir turbocharged four-pot delivering 180HP and 300 Nm of torque.
But unlike the front-wheel drive only Abarth, the 504cze features an all-wheel drive system (hence the “4” in its name).
Other special features include a set of Brembo brakes, a performance exhaust system by Ragazzon, painted rear windows and Abarth front seats trimmed in alcantara.
As we speak, the 504cze is a one-off special due to be delivered to a client in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, Scagliarini Motorsports said it is willing to manufacture a limited production run if there is substantial interest from buyers.

New Hyundai Azera and Fiat 500 Abarth At LA Show

Ah Twitter; the land of 140-characters where you can follow anyone without creeping them out has lately turned into something like a news board for automakers.

Instead of releasing an announcement on their respective websites, Fiat and Hyundai chose the social network to broadcast their 2011 LA Show debuts, which include the 2012 Azera and the 500 Abarth.
Starting from Hyundai, the South Korean automaker that could, will bring to LA the North American market version of its next generation Azera sedan, which has already been launched in its home market as the Grandeur.
The front-wheel drive Azera slots between the Sonata and the Genesis sedan and will most likely be offered with a 270-horsepower V6 engine.
Fiat's LA Show debut is the sport version of 500 mini called the Abarth. It features an aggressive bodykit along with a tuned chassis and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine capable of delivering between 140HP and 180HP, depending on the model.

500C Abarth by Romeo Ferraris

Romeo Ferraris has tuned this 500C Abarth to commemorate its own 52nd anniversary.

The Abarth 500C Anniversario features a performance upgrade that dials power up to 203 PS (149 kW / 200 bhp) from the series' 140 PS (103 kW / 138 bhp). The power boosts comes courtesy of an ECU-remap, a new turbine, a sport air filter and a sport exhaust.

Also added are performance (Brembo) brakes, a suspension kit and a mechanical limited-slip differential.

But what stands out here is the two-tone chrome finish to the outside of the 500C Abarth in a silver and red scheme.

On the inside too is red chrome trim complimented by a black leather finish with diamond stitching.

The whole package rides on 8 x 17-inch rims by Romeo Ferraris.

Abarth 500 by NOVITEC

Fiat tuning specialist Novitec has a new package for the Fiat 500 Abarth sport model.

For the outside, Novitec offers just a few sporting touches such as the new front spoiler and spoiler lip and the black-tinted lateral turn signals.

The real stuff goes on underneath, where Novitec provides several power options on the 500 Abarth's series 135 PS / 99 kW 1.4 liter T-Jet engine.

The first stage dials output up substantially to 164 PS / 121 kW. But the top offering takes the 500 Abarth to 212 PS / 156 kW and 325 Nm of torque (series 206 Nm).

The NOVITEC NT4-CORSE is the premium package and costs €3,016. It includes that maximum power boost which comes by means of a new turbocharger, an optimized air intake system with sport air filter, new injector nozzles, fuel pressure control, a sport exhaust system and some ECU tinkering.

The NT4-CORSE make the 500 Abarth good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 223 km/h.

To go with all that additional power, Novitec offers two suspension options. Novitec sport springs lower the ride height of the 500 Abarth by 35 mm. The Novitec stainless-steel sport suspension kit offers a height-adjustable ride.

Wheels on offer are 17 or 18 inch in diameter. The NOVITEC N10 single-piece, light alloy wheels come in size 7.5J x 17 and wrapped in 215/40/R17 tires; the 8J x 18 in 215/35/R18s.

Prices for a new set of wheels start at €1,106.
