So according to the wiki, we should start with this car. (I've put their US or alternative versions after a slash if they seem identical/very close). If I've missed any other versions it'd be good to add that here too.
Abarth 500 (2008-) / Fiat 500 Turbo
The 1.4 L engine with IHI RHF3-P turbocharger is rated at 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp) at 5500 rpm and 180 N·m (130 lb·ft) (206 N·m (152 lb·ft) in sport mode) torque at 3000 rpm. It includes a five-speed C510 transmission, low ride suspension, dualdrive electric power steering with SPORT setting, 6.5 x 16” aluminium alloy rim with 195/45 R16 tyres
I think it'd be difficult to replicate the 'sport mode' boost, which is interestingly the same as the Esseesse version in standard mode anyway.
So the Wikipedia page says the following important distinctions
Abarth 500 Esseesse / Fiat 500 Abarth
Engine is upgraded to 160 PS (120 kW; 160 hp) at 5750 rpm and 206 N·m (152 lb·ft) (230 N·m (170 lb·ft) in sport mode) at 3000 rpm. It also includes drilled and ventilated 284 mm (11.2 in) x 22 mm (0.87 in) front brake discs with new pads, 240 mm (9.4 in) x 11 mm (0.43 in) drilled rear brake discs, Abarth front and rear springs, 17-inch white or titanium colour alloy rims with 205/40 R17 tyres
+21% power & ~14.4% torque increase
Further upgraded suspension
Bigger and wider tyres
Here's a couple of interesting versions, I think I'll make versions A, B and C (Esseesse, 695 TF & AC version respectively).
Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (2009) / Tributo Maserati (2012)
The 1.4 Turbo T-Jet 16v engine is further developed and uses a different Garrett turbocharger. Rated at over 180 PS (130 kW; 180 hp). It includes a MTA (Manual Transmission Automated) electromechanical transmission with paddle shifter, unique to this version 17 inch alloy wheels with performance tyres, Brembo 284 mm (11.2 in) multi-section discs with fixed 4-piston calipers, "Record Monza" variable back-pressure "dual mode" exhaust.
+31% power & unknown torque increase
Bigger turbo (mid or low rpm)
Upgraded exhaust
Bigger and wider tyres
Abarth 500 Assetto Corse
Engine is rated at 200 PS (150 kW; 200 hp) at 6500 rpm and 300 N·m (220 lb·ft) at 3000 rpm. It includes white 17-inch (430 mm) special ultralight racing wheels, low ride, sports racing mirrors and a place for a number on the sides, pastel grey body with red Abarth side stripes
+51% power & 2/3+ torque
'Likely' larger turbo (mid to high rpm)
Upgraded exhaust
Bigger and wider tyres
