Air Drive Championship---to bom še sam probu, obuju stare čase ko sm delu brrr, brrm na tepihu z burago avtočki.
Soon there'll be the launch of the coolest competition of the year.
If, as a child, you used to drive your imaginary car with lots of "broom-broom" and "beep-beep", then the Air Drive Championship contest is the ideal place for you to put all those years of training into practice: register while you imagine getting behind the wheel of the Fiat 500 and driving it!
And who knows... If you are good, you could end up on YouTube and win one of 10 iPod Touch devices.
Jus as we where getting ready to call it a day, a reader of ours dropped us an e-mail that included the first official images of the all-new Fiat 500 Abarth that’s set to be unveiled in Geneva next month. If you liked the standard 500’s appearance then you’re definitely going to fall in love with the 500 Abarth.
The sport version of Fiat’s hugely popular minicar has been fitted with an aggressive bodykit that included new bumpers, side skirts, a rear diffuser, wider fenders that house larger alloy rims, a roof spoiler, red mirror caps and Abarth decals. Add the twin exhaust outlets in the rear and this is one 500 that you won’t call cute. There are no images of the interior, but it apparent from the ghost sketches that Abarth has equipped the sporty 500 with a pair of red bucket seats.
Sorry to say, we don’t have any technical details in our hands yet, but we’re guessing that the 500 Abarth will be equipped with Fiat’s 1.4-liter turbocharged engine developing between 120 and 150 HP.
