In this next video AutoExpress tested the Fiat 500C TwinAir vs the scorpion badged 500C Abarth.
Here is what each of them can do. The The Fiat 500C TwinAir comes with a 0.9-litre two cylinder turbocharged petrol engine developing 85 bhp, thanks to which the small convertible takes 11 seconds to accelerate from nought to 62 mph. Consumption figures are 69 mpg (UK rating) while CO2 emissions are 95g/Km.
Its rival, at least in this video is the Fiat 500C Abarth which extracts power from a 1.4-litre 4-cylinder turbo plant with a total output of 134 bhp. Accelerating from 0 to 62 mph takes much less, 8.1 seconds, but consumption and emissions also drop to 43.5 mpg and 151 grams of CO2 per Km.
If you want to see the outcome, watch the video with the Fiat 500C TwinAir vs the 500C Abarth after the jump.

Great video! It’s great to understand the pros and cons by test driving the Fiat 500, although I think my preference is the Abarth!
