Fiat has launched a new 500 Turbo performance edition in United States of America. Employing a 137PS turbocharged 1.4-litre MultiAir engine, this new variant mated to a 5-speed transmission, boasts of better steering calibration, sports suspension, upgraded brakes and stiffer shocks. Similar to the top of the line Abarth variant, the Turbo also delivers a throaty exhaust note that the Abarth is known for.

A unique aero kit and smoked-out headlamps differentiate the Turbo from the base model. The interiors get a leather wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, sports seats and a Dr Dre audio system. Priced at Rs 10.84 lakh ex-showroom, the Turbo falls a few thousand rupees short of the range topping Scorpion.
