Abarth Coupe rendering

As we reported previously, Abarth is preparing to expand its line-up. After making performance versions of Fiat’s 500 and Grande Punto, Fiat bosses said there will be a third model that will likely carry its own sheetmetal.

One idea is to is simply to update the 500 and Punto. Another basing a special-bodied coupe off another car in the Fiat range, such as using the proposed Lancia Fulvietta as a base. The third and most enticing option is a high-performance model (the drawing above) that will compete with models from Porsche and Ferrari.
