Ferrari-Abarth-Fiat 500?

[DuaneEstill]

Highly unusual to see Ferrari throwing in on something like this. Probably pure marketing tactic from the mother ship. They're milking this 500 thing for all it's worth. About the only Ferrari resemblance I can make out are the miniature scuderia stripes on the hood and scuderia look-alike wheels. Even though it is a two seater, it would definitely be the first front wheel drive thing ever associated with Ferrari.

We won't see these in the US

and you can be guaranteed anything with the Prancing Horse stuck on will probably double the price mg:

Can't blame them for marketing these for all they are worth because the sky is the limit after that pink Barbie edition :doh:

I think the Luigi from the Pixar Disney movie might be next :guitar:

The writting was on the wall...back in July sixty special edition 500's Ferrari "dealer editions" were being distributed in the UK to be used as customer courtesy cars when your Ferrari needed maintenance you get to drive home in a 500 loaner. Here are some pics of the dealer 500.
