BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! Comes with a fully transferable Fiat Certified Pre-Driven Warranty! Coverage includes: Powertrain (anything that the oil touches), Front Suspension, and Rear Suspension. Good until 12/27/18 or 100,000 miles.Passione at Play! Truly Italian, truly exhilarating! This 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth Ferrari Tributo Clone is the Cinquecento you have been really been waiting for! The ultimate second car for a Ferrari driver (which was my purpose). This little Fiat has a lot of attitude and is the true combination to the Ferrari/Fiat heritage. With only 32,000 pre-driven miles and Ferrari Tributo livery (clone), this is truly a one-of-a-kind Fiat Abarth.If you’re a Ferrari lover, it may be your dream to drive a brand spanking new, red Ferrari to work every day. Or to the post office for stamps. Or to the store for milk. But is that necessarily the most practical of ideas? Probably not in an 458. However, this Fiat 500 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari Clone is the answer for Ferrari owners and enthusiasts alike. You will lose none of the character, none of the elegance, none of the prestige of driving your Ferrari everywhere, and yet you can have a level of understated glory in your comings and goings. You won’t exactly fly under the radar in this beauty, but it sure is a little more adapted to everyday errands. This car was built as a tribute to the connection between Ferrari and the Abarth, hence the name. As such, it clearly depicts everything there is to love about the styles of both of these cars,shared values that include a passion for performance, a racing soul, attention to detail and Italian style. It truly is the Ferrari you can take anywhere.Abarth and Ferrari are two great names that have contributed, with conviction and dedication, to the legend of Italian racing that is known around the world. The legendary men behind both marques followed very similar careers: first drivers, then tuners and finally heads of companies that command genuine respect in the world of motor racing. These extraordinary men were associated in the past, in 1953 for example, a unique Ferrari-Abarth was born, the Ferrari 166/250 MM Abarth. The car raced in various international trophies including the legendary Mille Miglia. The tie between the two companies has been reinforced above all by the exhaust systems designed by Abarth specifically for the cars built at Maranello: numerous exhaust systems have been made for various Ferrari models, some of which have won World Championship titles. Performance There is no howling Ferrari V8 sitting under the bonnet, but a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder. Force-fed by a Honeywell turbo, the innovative MultiAir induction four cylinder delivers dramatic gains versus its naturally aspirated counterpart. At max boost—18 psi—horsepower soars to 160 at 5500 rpm (114 hp per liter/note that the Ferrari 360 was the first car to have over 100 hp per liter), and torque hits its 170 lb-ft peak at 2500 rpm and stays there to 4000. The forged-steel crank revolves in beefy bearings, the connecting rods are also forged steel, and the pistons are cast aluminum with oil jets bathing their undersides to enhance cooling. The engine utilizes an aluminum cylinder head and a cast-aluminum oil pan, and the block is cast iron. It is a beautiful powerplant having enough power down low but also rewards you for revving it out to 6000rpm. There is a delicious mix of induction howl and exhaust bark at the higher end of the rev range pushing a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.8 seconds. You can have a heap of fun without surpassing the speed limit. EPA fuel economy checks in at a respectable 28 mpg city and 34 highway.This Fiat 500 Abarth Ferrari Tributo clone sends power to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. That’s right, no flappy paddles or automatic transmissions here, a true 3-pedal car. In addition to beefier internals (over the stock 500), the five-speed is equipped with a slightly taller final drive, for improved fuel economy. This Abarth Ferrari Tributo Clone also includes an electronic, brake-based take on a limited-slip differential to keep wheelspin in check. In addition, larger, equal-length half-shafts are used in the pursuit of avoiding torque steer.As you’d expect, there’s more authority in the suspension of this hot Italian hatchback. The front spring rates are up 40 percent, and Koni dual-valve dampers replace the standard twin-tube units found in a normal 500. The rear suspension still employs a twist-beam axle, but it too has been substantially stiffened (40 percent), with higher (20 percent) coil-spring rates and a 22-mm anti-roll bar. Static ride height has been reduced, negative front camber goes from 0.6 to 1.5 degrees (enhancing turn-in), and the electric power steering is quicker, just 2.3 turns lock-to-lock.Impressive braking power is supplied by 11.1-inch vented discs in front (an inch bigger diameter than the 500 Sport) and 9.4-inch solid discs at the rear. They’re squeezed by single-piston calipers painted a very racy rosso (red). This car includes the standard 16-by-6.5-inch aluminum alloy wheels wearing 195/45 practically brand new all-season tires adorned with Ferrari wheel center caps. Despite a pronounced forward weight bias—64/36 front to rear, according to Fiat—the Abarth attacks corners excellently. Wondrous steering, excellent grip, light feeling--the big takeaway is that it’s just so much fun to drive ! A little feathering puts the front wheels precisely on the apex, and with the traction control completely shut down, it’s not difficult to induce some easily managed oversteer. The rack-and-pinion power steering is not only quick but also gratifyingly tactile for an electric unit, and the braking is potent and very tolerant of hard use. All of this is enhanced by a resonant tenor exhaust note—oh that exhaust note--that adds just the right element of audible menace to the Abarth’s aggressive looks. Elements of Style Besides wheels and optional trim items, this Fiat 500 Abarth Tributo Ferrari clone is distinguished from the other 500s by a revised fascia that includes twin inlets for the intercoolers, a bigger rear wing extending over the hatch, and of course its lower stance. Interior elements include sportier seats; a three-spoke, leather-wrapped, multifunction, flat-bottomed steering wheel (very satisfying to the driver’s hands) with red strip at the top dead center to help you remember that this car has Italian heritage. This Fiat 500 Abarth Tributo Ferrari clone comes standard with all the gear you expect including SPORT mode, ESC, seven airbags, bi-Xenon headlights, tinted front and rear windows, a dual zone climate control system and a Bose premium sound system with subwoofer and Bluetooth phone connectivity. However, the options on this car are short. This is a purists car. Beyond those already specified, it includes attractive stitched black leather upholstery with red stitching throughout ($1000), a rare sunroof option ($850), blow-off adapter plate by Forge Motorsports ($99 for that cool woosh sound), Sila 500T RAM Air Intake with Italian BMC Filter ($250), and last but not least the Tributo Ferrari livery ($1,750) featuring · Tributo Ferrari/Abarth Side Badging· Tributo Ferrari Rear Badging· “695” Side and Rear Badging· Metal Ferrari Fender Shields· Scuderia Red with Racing Grey stripes ala the Ferrari F430 Scuderia. This car includes the transferable remainder of Fiat’s Certified Pre-Driven program. That’s a Limited Warranty of seven years or 100,000 miles from the date of new-car purchase. Good until 12/27/18 or 100,000 miles!This 2012 Fiat Abarth Tributo Ferrari Clone may be the ultimate manifestation of the Fiat 500 to date. It may even be the next best thing to driving a Ferrari! True "Competizione" style motoring. This is a car for driving and getting noticed, not just getting from points A to B. Quite possibly the best used Fiat 500 Abarth on Ebay, and with a warranty! You will not be disappointed!! The only reason I'm selling is I just purchased another Ferrari 360 Spider. The car is in exceptional overall shape with normal wear and tear for it's age. NOTE: The 2006 Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition in the picture is also for sale privately (not part of this listing). 2006 Porsche S, 65,000 miles, Porsche Tow System with brake controller. On May-07-17 at 07:22:28 PDT, seller added the following information: More photos recently added. Actual miles are 31,761 but I will be driving the car which is why indicated 32,000 miles. The car is gorgeous and gets comments wherever I go. Like I said in my auction, it was my "everyday Ferrari". I bought this car just 6 months ago and only put about 3,500 miles on it since coming in certified from Brown-Daub Fiat in Allentown. I am the second owner. The stripes are brand new, not cheap copies or reproductions, but custom designed off of the original 695 Tributo Ferrari. Cost alone for design and install was $800. All of the 695 and Tributo Ferrari badges came direct from Italy.
