1984-1988 Fiat-Abarth Ritmo 130TC

This is the new Strada Abarth 130TC and "quick" is some thing of an understatement.
It'll get to 60mph from zero in comfortably less than eight seconds, and power on to an indecently (not to mention illegally) fast 122mph.
But speed alone has never, ever, been the sole ingredient of cars that wear the Abarth insignia.
And this one is no exception.
As well as 130bhp from its twin cam 2 litre engine, theres a ZF 5 speed box to lay that power on the road.
Low profile tyres on alloy wheels reduce unsprung weight, and the suspension and brakes have been honed to an edge to match the performance.
So if you re the sort of driver who can handle a very quick car, your local Fiat dealer would like a word with you.
Oh, and by the way, if you already drive one of our competitors so called "hot" hatchbacks and you see a Strada Abarth coming up behind you, please move over.
After all, you have been warned.
