2010 HR Hamann Fiat 500 Abarth Review

November 2010
Filed under: HAMANN Car News | HAMANN Headlines

The Fiat 500 moves over Germany's roads sweet and stylish. There seems to be no danger when it comes to liveliness and agressiveness. Unless a Fiat from the manufacturer´s own tuner Abarth disturbs the peace. And when the tuning professionals from HAMANN get involved the bubble car turns into a dangerous ball-lightening. However, in order to direct the power precisely onto the road and spread fear it needs the high quality suspension components from H&R. HAMANN effectually turns the Abarth's 135 PS into 275 PS. In order to tame such power so the increased performance is reflected in its looks it needs a high tensile and a professional suspension. The experts for suspension components from Lennestadt are the right contacts for such cases.

With the coil'“over suspension from H&R the Fiat 500 claws itself into the tarmac. Not only metaphorically '“ the driving characteristics achieve unbelievable dimensions. The steering is made more precise and pitch and swerve movements are reduced to a minimum. In addition, the H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers round out the whole picture. Regardless of whether they are fitted to OE or tuned wheels, the often unsightly gap between the wheel arch and the shoulder is erased. In this way the Fiat 500 not only gets more muscular strength, it´s shape is also perfected. Of course, other retro-speedsters and manufacturer´s cars can profit from H&R's suspension components. H&R's full product range is available for over 1,350 different types of vehicles at all good specialist dealers. Quality and know'“how are based on the company's many years racing experience, for example in the VLN or DTM. Further information can be found under http://www.h-r.com/de/. Furthermore, H&R is this year once again represented at the Essen Motor Show.
