Talking with Fiat’s global marketing director, Steve Norman, UK's Evo has learned that Abarth could become a separate entity altogether. In its early days, Abarth designed and developed its own cars with many of them used for racing. When Fiat took over, Abarth produced very few of its own distinct models and even these were basically Fiat cars with a few styling mods.
In the interview, Norman wasn’t willing to reveal what Abarth was planning but mentioned that any new car would likely be a small two-seater roadster based on a modified 500 platform.
