Abarth 500 Estremo by Romeo Ferraris: Luxury, power and 3.66 m
December 28, 2010 at 2:34
For years, Romeo Ferraris collaborates with Fiat Group and its brands, and today or the past year or so, after having expanded its collaboration with BMW, Toyota and Smart, Milan magician returned to his first love, 500. You remember all of the white sports version of last year (500 Monza), this year, R. Ferraris renews the experience by going on the basis of an Abarth 500 Abarth 500 will become Estremo through a course of vitamins increased the mechanical strength of the 1400 T-jet 135 to 260 hp.
Aesthetically, we find a nice aerodynamic kit that includes a bumper spoiler retouched, side skirts, a rear bumper with diffuser, to better make room for two beautiful tailpipes. We appreciate the superb body color "Blu Pozzi" that can only be found on the Ferrari 612 and 599. Success!
But it's below the Abarth 500 Estremo to be discovered with a 1400 engine thoroughly reviewed with:
- New turbo, new intercooler, new large injectors, new pistons, new camshafts, crankshaft recalibrated, ECU reprogrammed.
The heat exchanger that cools the turbo has been expanded to improve and optimize the performance of the turbo. The clutch was also changed to support the new power while remaining reliable, sustainable and enjoyable urban use. The Abarth 500 is equipped Estremo of origin of a BVM but can optionally be equipped with a robotized sequential gearbox 6 speed associated with a limited slip differential to help with traction and help pass the 260 c. ground.
The car features a revised suspension and adapted with a 20 mm lowered chassis, firmer shock absorbers and adjustable (RF Assetto). Braking is also reviewed and the original system is replaced by a system developed by Brembo, which includes 4 discs of 280 mm drilled pinched by 4-piston caliper equipped with platelet-type race.
Always to help the mechanical performance of Estremo, Romeo Ferraris team's car a new exhaust which replaces the metal ceramics to allow the engine to breathe better. The Abarth is also new alloy wheels in two 17-inch Yokohama Parada tires shod with 205/40 R 17.
The other surprise of the Abarth 500 Estremo, besides her beautiful body color, a beautiful mechanical preparation for the bodywork and the famous "Lambo doors" that brings a little style to the car if not practical or necessary.
Regarding the interior of the 500, little changes if it is a beautiful full-grain leather upholstery tobacco color that covers most of the passenger compartment in association with inserts that are:
- Blu Pozzi color or real carbon fiber stained dark blue.
Know that Romeo Ferraris offers all possibilities for customizing the interior, a premium stereo, new Recaro bucket seats or dark tinted glass attached to the body.
No indication of performance but they should be the same as those of the Abarth 500 Monza unveiled in the fall of 2009 that are still unknown ... although some rumors speak of a Vmax of about 245 km / h and a 0 to 100 km / h in 5.7 seconds (to be confirmed). There are also versions for almost wise more timid (157 hp, 1773 and 201 hp).
Finally, know that this beautiful preparation is also available on the Abarth 500C. To find Romeo Ferraris, it is there.

And for fun, some 500 reviewed by the preparer of Milan.

MID ENGINED ABARTH 500 PRESENTED AT TOP MARQUES MONACO
New tuning upstart Lucarelli Monza has got its self out of the blocks in the most dramatic fashion, creating the completely reworked Abarth 500 "Motore Centrale" R230 which received its public debut at the weekend at the Top Marques Monaco show.
The company was the brainchild of engineer Lucarelli who said his aim "was to transfer to the customers the same feelings, scents and passions that led him to conceptualise, design, build and especially enjoy the cars. The spirit of the brand is to differentiate from others, sometimes daring, but above all to make products without too many compromises, and with excellent results." The company also adds: "The line to follow is very clear: to design the best cars on the market first and foremost at the level of performance and driving pleasure, and then look, exclusivity and security. Lucarelli Monza does not like flashy cars, but quick, light, elegant, exclusive and comfortable ones.''
In developing the Abarth 500 "Motore Centrale" R230, Lucarelli Monza has created a real head turner which the company sees as being directly inspired by two-seater, mid-engined sports cars: as well as the engine being moved from the front to the middle of the tiny car and feeding its power straight through the rear wheels, there is an all-new rear wishbone based suspension arrangement which is fully adjustable (the MacPherson struts set up is retained at the front), as well as there being the high levels of comfort associated with a luxurious sports car. The company has also roped in a list of partners that are leaders in their niches to provide their own brand of expertise: Bilstein, Kumho, K&N, Eibach, Aznom, Quaife, Garrett and Center Techno Freno.
The result, says Lucarelli Monza, is a compact high-performance, lightweight, balanced and responsive car with excellent traction. The engine, which is mounted in a new frame incorporated into the rear of the bodyshell, has been profoundly altered both electronically and mechanically. A new, larger Garrett turbo has been installed along with different injectors, forged pistons, a large intercooler and a new catalytic convertor with 200 cells. These changes allow the engine to reach a claimed 230 CV and 330 Nm of torque, with a total weight of just 1050 kg meaning that performance is impressive: 0 to 100 km/h arrives in a claimed 4.7 seconds and maximum speed is a claimed 240 km/h. Abarth's Fiat Powertrain-sourced C510, fitted with an electronic LSD, is retained which does mean an awful lot of torque (a claimed 330 Nm) will be fed through its internals. The braking system meanwhile features large ventilated discs all round: 335 mm at the front and 305 mm at the rear coupled with four radial calipers with 4 pots made from billet aluminium. Externally the 500 "Motore Centrale" R230 can be easily be differentiated by large new air intakes fitted into the rear 3/4 panel sections. Meanwhile inside, the cockpit has been luxuriously trimmed in a blend of Frau leather and Alcantara by another Monza-based specialist company, Aznom. Exclusivity will be represented by the limited production that envisions thirty numbered pieces in a year being built, all of which will be customised according to individual buyer's requirements.
However Lucarelli Monza isn't stopping with the Abarth 500 "Motore Centrale" R230 as also under development is the "Motore Centrale R280 Pista", an even more extreme version of the Scorpion supermini designed primarily for track day use but which will also be road homologated. In this exclusive version luxury and comfort has been rowed back in the pursuit of lower weight and higher performance. Power will climb by a further 50 CV to 280 CV while the jettisoning the unnecessary interior components means an extra 100 kg will be shaved off the weight, dropping it to 950 kg. The transmission will feature a Quaife limited slip differential set up for track use while also included will be an FIA-specification roll cage, data acquisition system and fully adjustable shock absorbers and suspension. The use of carbon fibre for some of the body panels and seat frames as well as the elimination of all the components that are not strictly necessary, along with the new power output of 280 CV, will drop the 0 to 100km/h time to an estimated 3.9 seconds while top speed will nudge up to 260 km/h.
