True to Abarth tradition, the “esseesse” kit comes in an elegant wooden case and can only be sold and installed by the official network of Abarth converters, guaranteeing compliance with the highest testing and safety standards.

The result is a truly thrilling performance: top speed is 211 km/h with acceleration from 0-100 kph in just 7.4 seconds.

The Fiat 500 Abarth esseesse kit is topped off by the specific air filter powered by BMC, four tire pressure sensors, “esseesse” badges for the engine hood and the tailgate, and a specially designed, highly original key cover.

The 2009 Fiat 500 Abarth esseesse (SS) was revealed at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The car is the hot version of Fiat's MINI rival, designed to go toe-to-toe with the likes of the MINI Cooper S and Ford Fiesta ST185.
