Summary / Performance Table / Performance Chart / Fastest Cars Ever
This page aims to put all of the performance metrics of Fiat's entire model range (both current and historic) in one place, providing enthusiasts and prospective buyers with valuable insights into each vehicle's acceleration capabilities. We know that 0-60 times don't tell us the full performance picture, but by reviewing 0-60 mph times at least you can get a benchmark for measuring a car's acceleration prowess, and the quarter mile times, which offer a glimpse into its straight-line speed, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Fiat's performance pedigree. Fiat, an iconic Italian automaker, has a rich history of producing a diverse range of vehicles, from practical city cars to high-performance sports models. While Fiat is often associated with compact and economical cars, the brand has also ventured into the performance realm, creating some remarkably fast vehicles over the decades. Here's a look at some of the fastest Fiat cars and the broader brand’s approach to performance.
Fiat 124 Spider Abarth (1972-1985): The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth was a performance-focused version of the popular 124 Spider, developed by Abarth, Fiat’s racing and performance division. Equipped with a 1.8-liter twin-cam engine producing 128 horsepower, the 124 Spider Abarth could reach a top speed of around 124 mph. Its lightweight design and agile handling made it a formidable competitor in rally racing, where it achieved considerable success.
Fiat Coupe Turbo (1993-2000): The Fiat Coupe Turbo, designed by Chris Bangle, was a striking and powerful sports car. The 2.0-liter 20V Turbo engine produced up to 220 horsepower in its final iteration, enabling the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 6.3 seconds and reach a top speed of approximately 155 mph. The Coupe Turbo’s combination of distinctive styling and impressive performance made it a standout in Fiat’s lineup during the 1990s.
Fiat Grande Punto Abarth (2007-2018): The Fiat Grande Punto Abarth marked a significant return to performance-oriented vehicles for Fiat. Powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine producing up to 180 horsepower in the Esseesse version, the Grande Punto Abarth could sprint from 0 to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 134 mph. Its sporty design, enhanced suspension, and aggressive styling cues underscored Fiat’s commitment to delivering exciting driving experiences.
Fiat 500 Abarth (2008-present): The modern Fiat 500 Abarth is a high-performance variant of the popular city car, featuring a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with power outputs ranging from 135 to 190 horsepower, depending on the version. The 500 Abarth can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 6.7 seconds and achieve a top speed of 140 mph. Its compact size, nimble handling, and sporty exhaust note make it a favorite among enthusiasts who appreciate performance in a small package.
Fiat’s broader approach to performance is deeply intertwined with its relationship with Abarth, the high-performance brand known for its racing heritage and tuning expertise. Abarth’s involvement in developing performance models has allowed Fiat to infuse its lineup with sporty and dynamic variants that appeal to driving enthusiasts. This collaboration emphasizes Fiat’s dedication to creating cars that are not only practical and stylish but also exciting to drive. Furthermore, Fiat’s performance credentials are also reflected in its participation in motorsports. From rally racing success with the 124 Spider Abarth to more recent ventures in various racing series, Fiat has demonstrated its capability to engineer vehicles that perform exceptionally well in competitive environments. This motorsports heritage informs the development of its performance road cars, ensuring they benefit from the lessons learned on the track.
