Customised pizza for the land of tulips

Twelve months ago, Abarth opened its first official showroom in the Netherlands. To celebrate one full year of trading by its authorised dealer, the carmaker has now come up with a special limited edition model: the Fiat 500 Abarth Competizione. Only ten of these will be produced, all of them destined for the Dutch market and priced at 25,000 euros. But now for the surprise: the Fiat will not be appearing in the national colour 'oranje' but in an attractive black-and-white contrast. The Fiat 500 Abarth Competizione differs from others in the same series by virtue of it fine, dynamic details. Especially striking are the Abarth graphic touches along the sides. The four-cylinder engine puts out 135 horsepower, enough for a top speed of 127mph (205kph). The 0 to 62mph sprint takes 7.9 seconds.
