2012 Fiat MOPAR 500 Chromed Carbon
The Fiat brand marks its return to the North American market with the 2012 Fiat 500 (Cinquecento). With its beautiful Italian styling, timeless functionality, efficient design and innovative technology – the same attributes that made the original version a timeless icon – the new Fiat 500 is relevant for an entirely new generation of drivers.Following is a list of Mopar accessories that will be featured on the 2012 Fiat 500:
• Door-sill guards with 500 logo
• Roof/hood decals feature a double-blue stripe
• Katzkin leather interior, black with blue accents
• Carbon fiber-style hand brake
• Carbon fiber-style shift knob with leather boot
• Rear window-mount rack
• Snowboard carrier
• Wheels, black gloss• Chromed exhaust tip

It gets a variety of exterior mods, including a chrome exhaust tip, fuel door, mirror covers, snowboard carrier and glossy black wheels, as well as a roof decal with a blue double stripe that makes its way down the hood. Interior options include door-sill guards with the 500 logo, Katzkin black and blue leather interior, and carbon-fiber handbrake and gearshift levers with leather boots.
The new 200 midsize sedan also gets an enhanced exterior, including a gloss-black mesh grille, 3-inch suspension drop, foglight bezel with light bar, vented hood, front lip, 19-inch wheels, deck-lid spoiler, rear valance and exhaust tip. The color theme is black and tungsten, and buyers also have the option of a Katzkin leather interior just like with the Fiat.
The Mopar Ram Runner, inspired by Baja-style desert racing, is a 4×4 unlike any other Ram. the rigors of off-road racing require large tires, plenty of ground clearance, extreme durability and a sophisticated suspension system capable of withstanding tremendous impact. these features are combined into a package that is stable at speed and rock-solid in the corners. Inspired by trophy trucks, steel front fenders and rear bed-sides are replaced with fiberglass, allowing tremendous suspension articulation with zero interference. source:howtobreak-80.org,topgear.com,insideline.com

2013 Fiat 500 Abarth Review Price exterior interior
Mini mustn’t maintain its monopoly on the multiplication of microcars—at least that seems to be Fiat’s take. While the 2012 Cinquecento is weeks away from its launch in the U.S., and the semi-convertible 500C will arrive a few months later, the Italian car giant has even more planned for its diminutive hatchback. A long-wheelbase version, probably with four doors (rather than the Mini Clubman’s awkward 2.5-door setup), is in development, and, based on the spy photos seen here, it appears that Fiat also is working on an all-wheel-drive version of the 500. It likely will hit the market in mid-to-late 2012 as a 2013 model.
The visual differences between the car shown in these spy photos and a normal, front-wheel-drive 500 aren’t numerous, but they are significant. This test mule rides much higher than a typical 500, which has only 4.1 inches of ground clearance in U.S. spec. A differently shaped muffler can be seen placed higher and in a different location than the one on front-drive 500s, presumably to accommodate AWD bits. The vertical gray tape at the trailing edge of the front fenders looks to be covering vertical vents or slats, a feature that might be specific to the future all-wheel-drive 500 or which could be bound for the 500’s face lift, expected around the same time as this new model.
The Abarth model pumps out 160-hp and the standard Fiat 500 with the 1.4-liter has 100-hp, so the 500T Sport should come in at around 130-140 hp. The 500 Abarth in Europe makes 133 hp in its regular trim, so that could be the 500T powerplant American will see.
The document also showed that an Abarth convertible model is on its way to the U.S. as a 2013 model, but that isn’t a huge surprise considering it already exists in other markets. We expect it to be identical to the Abarth coupe but with a power-sliding cloth roof similar to what is found on the 500c seen above.
Sure, there are plenty of faster cars you can buy, but when youre in it with this little hotbox, foot on the floor, leaning into a turn, hearing that great engine note, you just wont care. Youre having too much fun.source:caranddriver.com,jalopnik.com,autoguide.com
