And to think It was only built because of the manufacturer's emissions thing.

If that's supposed to refer to the requirements for manufacturers to hit a certain CO2 rating across their range, then you're way off the mark.

This is a special edition Fiat. It is not a re-badged Fiat a la Aston Martin Cygnet to lower the company's emissions...

I'll have to agree with homeforsummer on this as Aston Martin is now a separate stand-alone company ( not Ford-owned anymore ) and they probably need a car like the Cygnet to lower emissions ( although it would perhaps be percieved less cynical if they created a seperate brand for this, not an Aston Martin badged IQ, although I quite like the IQ ).
Ferrari however is part of Fiat ( Fiat, Alfa, Lancia, Maserati, Ferrari and the whole Chrysler/Dodge range, etc. ) and the whole Ferrari and Maserati range form only a very small fraction of the entire car output of Fiat so they'll probably will meet those emissions quite easily unlike Aston.

Oh and I'll take the regular Abarth-version over this which seems much better value for money and offers perhaps 95% of the experience for, what?, 40% or even less of the price of this Ferrari linked version.
 
If those seats are available separately in the normal Abarth then I couldn't imagine why someone would spring for the complete car package. Well, I can, but you get my point.
 
Me rikey rong time.

I'm going to doubt it will be brought to Canada, but if it was, I'd probably consider one depending on the price.
 
They are going to build only 1700 of those, so I don't think much of them will leave Europe.

Agree that with the Abarth 500 SS (160hp) you will still have a lot of fun for half the price. Plus for something around 2.000 euros of tuning it is possible to reach 180-190hp
remember is a 1.4 engine, is quite a lot of power, Minis' cooper s has the roughly the same power and is a 1.6

The 500 is a great car, but this is just another cheap marketing exercise that continues to devalue the Ferrari brand.

No this is just another simple exercise of sharing between the brands in a corporate family.

The best way for Ferrari to tarnish its name is by selling shoddy vehicles out of their own factory.
