Fiat 500 Abarth Essesse

The Fiat 500 is a popular small car in Europe -- a rival to the Mini. And Abarth versions of Fiats are aimed at the enthusiast, with slightly more powerful engines, upgraded brakes and a re-tuned suspension. In this instance, the Abarth Essesse (for Super Sport) could rival the Mini Cooper S and is probably a ton of fun to drive. If Fiat ever gets to sell the 500 in North America, this would be a welcome addition to the range.
