Does 135bhp sound weak to you? It ain't. The very good Fiat Panda 100HP on which the 500 is based makes do with, yes; 100 horsepower. 152 lb-ft of torque isn't shabby, either. Fiat generates this power with a turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder.

DEBUT - ABARTH FIAT 500
Once named Southern Europe's Impact Car of the Year can also be had in the once-revered (still-revered) Abarth form now. Carlo Abarth founded the firm in 1949 as a racing outfit and tuner but Abarth was sold to Fiat in 1971. Although there have been rough years for Fiat in the recent past - which equated to Abarth neglect - Fiat can now rightfully attach the Scorpion logo to its suddenly famous small car.
