lbrench's new car.

 

[tom172cup]

Who in their right mind would pay that for a 500

 

[tom172cup]

lbrench's new car.

That thought did appear in my mind

 

[Gally]

A Ferrari owner.

They do sound a hoot. Paddle shift tech and 180 brake. The wife would love it.

Oh and it's annoying when you don't post pics...

 

[ben81]

Even the standard 500 Abarths are overly expensive but this? I want a bit more Ferrari in it for £40 than a few stickers!

 

[Gally]

The red one is under Ferrari but doesn't look like the Ferrari edition.

 

[LowLife.]

tbh, the more I look at the Abarth's the more I want one.

 

[ben81]

I couldn't add the pic's url, happarently it was invalid.
I'd want carbon ceramic brakes for £40k, thats not an unreasonable ask for the money, it does look ok though. I thought the new RS3 was silly money for a 'shopping' car!

 

[LowLife.]

Why would you need Carbon Ceramic brakes on a 500?

 

[ben81]

Just something expensive to justify the ££,£££'s!

 

[LowLife.]

ok.

 

[Goodj]

£40k not only buys you a selection of other non-Ferrari red cars such as:-

but also, genuine little numbers like these!

pocket change for the high rollers on here

[Addicted]

fiat's are disgusting at best, that tops it off!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Im seeing a lack of Xenons.

That aside, it would look sweet in a field.

 

[banana_hammock]

Is this the carbon footprint thing? Like the little Aston Martin they had to make to offset their V12 monsters?

 

[daydotz]

Irc they ment to have a bit of the ferrari tune to em as well

If have a normal abarth

 

[Jordi17]

Bet they are awesome cars though, although youd have to be minted to buy it for 40k

 

[.01mph]

these guys r crackheads, selling well over priced cars to arabs, who dont have a clue, just compare there prices 2 similar supercar dealers £10-30k+ more

man from middle east with limitless pockets

 

[recaro182]

Still probably Roman's cheapest car on sale

Personally I love this car... epic spec and horrendously over priced, but to someone with a fleet of supercars who wants something to pop to the shops in, it's pocket change.

Wouldn't they have to have a Ferrari badge on them for this to work as they sound more like a special edition 500

Personally if i did have the deepest pockets in the land i'd be taking the most awkward car in the land to get the bread just because i can.

No car should be sat in a musem/personal collection

That would get boring very quickly!

Parking the M6 in a supermarket car park can be a pain in the ass when there aren't many big spaces to choose from, sod doing it in something just as big but with zero rear visibility.

This car is aimed at people where the price is not a deciding factor, it makes sense if you are uber rich and living in a city.

Tbh if i were driving a Zonda id be parking it across 2 spaces side ways, and people would know why.

 

[JamesWilson]

Thats car looks sexual !

 

[Cunney]

Glad they've toned it down, was ferrari badged to fookery when the early pics came out, some silly city hoe will buy it without a second thought

F*cking LMAO

 

[Alex_gregory_uk]

The 152 cars that are for England have all sold. The price to buy one from the dealer is £29,600 but a few people have bought them in an attempt to make a quick 10 grand, which they will probably succeed in doing!

Just realised that one posted isn't the genuine one, it's a red 500 essesse made to look like the ferrari edition. The genunie one has a carbon fibre dash and special edition alloys as well as paddle shift like this one...

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2321131.htm

They will be availabe in small numbers in yellow, blue, and grey as well. Included in that high price are Xenon's!

 

[Tunst]

If i was a high roller id have one, I love the 500 abarth

 

[Gandi69]

Lets be honest, you wouldnt stay a high roller for long pay 42k for a fiat. Could get a nice selection of decent metal for that

 

[GiT]

It's one of those cars where it only makes sense if you can Garage it 365 days a year and keep it ultra low miles till it's 25 Years old and worth £80k-£100k. Modern day 205 T16 "type" purchase.
