Here we have the latest incarnation of the Abarth 595. It"s ageing rather gracefully, for an ancient cutesy city car based on a prehistoric Panda. Abarth has decided it can"t handle any more power, keeping the 1.4-litre turbocharged four-pot engine pegged between 144bhp and 178bhp, depending on the model you pick. However, it"ll feel like you"re going faster, because the 595 just got louder. You"d expect Abarth to have explained this new throatiness in a flamboyant, exciting Italian way. And you"d be exactly right. Ready?
