The '''Fiat Nuova 500''' is [[Fiat]]'s retro-futuristic subcompact homage to its iconic [[Fiat 500]] model. It is brand new for 2008 and both public and critical reception has been favorable.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
*For 2009, Fiat unveiled a hi-po version of their hit minicar dubbed the '''Fiat 500 Abarth'''. The car features new aggressive bodywork and a turbocharged version of Fiat's 1.4 litre ''Fire'' 16v Petrol engine producing 135 bhp (100kW) at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of 152 lb-ft (206Nm) at 3,000 rpm in ‘Sport’ mode. In normal mode the car produces only 133 pound feet of torque at 2,500 rpm. The icing on the cake is Fiat's new Torque Transfer Control, a system that allows the car to hug corners rather lose control from the torque steer.[http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080218.016/fiat-500-abarth-first-details][http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/geneva-08-preview-official-specs-leaked-on-fiat-500-abarth/]

==Hybrid Models==

The 500 is going hybrid. Auto Express has learned that the in-demand [[Fiat]] will soon become even more appealing – with a petrol-electric engine that offers incredible fuel economy and super-low CO2 emissions.

It will be based on the company’s forthcoming 900cc two-cylinder unit – which will debut at July’s [[Goodwood Festival of Speed]] in West Sussex. The engine is mated to a motor and a battery pack, and will allow small cars like the 500 to run solely on electricity for short distances. Add a stop-start system and [[VW]] [[DSG]]-style twin-clutch gearbox, and it promises reduced CO2 emissions – engineers estimate a figure of below 90g/km!

That would help Fiat comply with the European Commission’s plans to impose an average 120g/km limit on the model ranges of all firms selling cars across the continent by 2012.

No details have been revealed on the engine’s output, but it’s likely to come in two forms, as previewed by the Panda Aria concept at last september’s [[Frankfurt Motor Show]].

That car debuted the 900cc twin alongside a 105bhp turbo version, and Fiat also has plans for a normally aspirated 65bhp variant. The hybrid 500 is likely to benefit from other green technologies seen on the Aria, which include low-rolling-resistance tyres. The featherweight two-cylinder engine is 20 per cent lighter than a four-cylinder motor, so owners could expect 80mpg-plus fuel economy.

Alfredo Altavilla, boss of powertrain technologies at Fiat, told Auto Express the hybrid drivetrain should go into production in three years’ time. It would feature across Fiat’s small car range, making appearances in the Panda and Grande Punto.

And while the first petrol-electric cars may not be seen in showrooms until 2011, the all-new two-cylinder petrol engine will be available in the 500 before the end of the year.
