Report: Fiat to Introduce Three Sports Cars for 2010, Including Elise-based Abarth
According to the UK's 4Car, In 2010, Fiat is planning to introduce three new sport cars. The models will be in the form of a Lancia, an Alfa Romeo, and a stand-alone Abarth two-seater.
The Abarth sportster will be mid-engined like the Elise, and it is expected to be ultra lightweight, and share some components with the legendary Lotus. The engine will most likely come from one of Fiat's small turbocharged engines, like the 1.4-liter in the 500 and Grand Punto Abarth. Although some parts may be supplied by Lotus, the chassis itself is evidently going to be bought-in from an external supplier. Final assembly will be at Fiat's Abarth facility in Mirafiori, Italy.
As for the styling of the Lancia-badged model? The automaker’s Fulvia Concept from 2003 may provide clues as to what it may look like. Rumors have also circulated about a coupe-cabriolet model, but the possibility has yet to be confirmed, and rear-drive is a possibility. The same underpinnings are also likely to be employed for a new Alfa coupe, which 4Car is suggesting could be branded Giulia or Giulietta.

Has anyone ever heard of a mid engined, FWD car? I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say this car will be RWD. And hopefully, it won't look like anything like that car in the picture.

Yeah, mid-engine/front-drive doesn't make for a good combo. The next Alfa, perhaps a new Spider, will need to cut back on weight and make a proper return to rear-drive to be taken seriously. The current Spider is pretty, but overweight and plagued with cowl shake.

A Corvette in reverse is a mid-engined fwd car.
But I think the Fiat Abarth Sportster and the Lancia Fulvia will be two different cars. One mid/rwd, the other front/?

Ducati! We missed you. And we (I?) need your fascinating and disturbing thoughts over on the forum, if you would be so kind to join us there from time to time.

Mena,
Technically the Acura Vigor was mid engine FWD, but of course the engine was ahead of the passenger compartment.
Mena
Thanks. I wonder how that car handled.

No info on potential North American versions?

No thanks Mr. Fiat, I still have nightmares about Spyders and X9s.

If the Lancia version is even remotely close to as good as the original Fulvia was, I hope they bring that one here. Drove one for a couple of years and it was sheer delight. Best handling front wheel drive car of its day and also the World Rally Champ for years. Wonderful cars , comfortable to ride in and delightful to drive. Well balanced on power and handling as well and fairly economical as well. If Fiat has the rust problem solved, then bring it on. I had no problems with the car at all in the time I drove it when Lancia built it and if Fiat builds it as well then I would assume no problems at all now.
Also had a Fiat Spyder back in the day and I put almost 100K miles on it with no problems either. You just had to maintain them and change the belts at the right time and they would run with no problems. I could take off from a dead stop in 5th gear in that one and it would pull right away with no judder at all. Another car that handled well and was a pleasure to drive. The only problem I had was when the idiot lady drove out of a side street without looking and even though I even drove onto the median to get away from her she still hit me with the back end of a Buick station wagon right in the middle of the passenger side so had that it bent the frame and the driveshaft as well. Put a big crimp right in the middle of the driveshaft. Her excuse was that she did not see me (in a fire engine red sports car on a sunny day and on a divided highway with 3 lanes each direction).

The rust problems on Fiat, Alfa, etc.... was caused by a steel deal the Italians had made with the Soviet Union.... and saddly, the steel they got was of very poor quality.
It's not the case anymore....

The rectangle shaped face needs links of londonjewelry that adds width and camouflages the length of the face. A highchoker reduces the length of the face, particularly if the neck is toolong. In addition, a 16¡å or 18¡å necklace that ends in a ¡°U¡±flatters this face. Long hair and narrow links of london is perfect match which can impress others as a fair lady.

Im 18 years old and as a struggling student who enjoys racing UGG
Boots ultra short Le its becoming extremely expensive and harder to
attend and enjoy a days racing.
Sure a student with a part time UGGS upside job would
have to save for a few weeks to consider attending a raceday as expensive as
this. I see that
Fairyhouse are racing on the 19th of this month and are charging UGGS
whitely boots 5e entry fee.
Its up to other tracks to follow suit and use some initiative to offer better
value to the normal racegoer….Pretty good air jordan post. I just found your site and wanted to say that I have really
enjoyed browsing your Bailey Button UGG Boots posts. In any case I’ll be
subscribing to your blog and I hope you nike sb post again soon! UGG Boots
