The 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth and Abarth Cabrio are available with an optional six-speed automatic transmission, helping to broaden the customer base for the high-performance version of the Fiat 500.

To ensure the 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth and Abarth Cabrio remain true to their high-performance and track-ready heritage, the six-speed automatic transmission has been reinforced with more clutch plates and a more robust heat treatment to allow for higher torque capability.

The Sport mode calibration allows for an even more engaged driving experience with special features, such as fuel-cut upshifts, rev-matching downshifts, brake-assist downshifts, corner gear hold and fast-off gear hold, as well as a more aggressive pedal map.

For 2015, the Fiat 500 Abarth and Abarth Cabrio feature an advanced instrument panel with a 7-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) cluster display that allows drivers to easily monitor data like g-forces, speed, fuel level and trip information. When the vehicle is in Sport mode, the TFT display becomes more aggressive in appearance, complementing the Sport mode's more engaged driving experience.

The center console is redesigned for 2015 to make it more useful for drivers. The revamped console includes a new cupholder design and an additional, conveniently located USB port that is fully functional and integrated with the radio.

For access to the Fiat 500c Abarth's trunk, premium "parallelogram" liftgate hinges conveniently position the liftgate out of the way, while the power-operated cloth-top automatically retracts back to the rear-spoiler position to avoid any obstruction.

Abarth features the track-proven 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo engine for up to 160 horsepower, 183 ft.-lb. of torque and 0-to-60 mph performance in the low 7 second range.
