Autocar has cooked up the latest rendering of the forthcoming Abarth Roadster, and while it keeps the basic shape of previousimages, it adds a more distinct Fiat flavor to the front.
The Roadster will form one prong of Abarth’s three-model lineup, joining the Punto and 500 variants, but will be based off a new platform, complete with an engine mated amidships, shared by a new Fiat Group vehicle, likely the Lancia Fulvietta.
Power is expected to come courtesy of the 500 Abarth’s turbocharged 1.4-liter, putting 135-150 hp to the rear wheels. Sales are likely to begin sometime in 2013 and the Abarth Roadster is expected to carry a sticker price of £12,000.
