In the framework of the motor Show in Chicago that is currently being held, the directors of Fiat have announced that the normally aspirated engine of the 500 was going to disappear in favor of a four-cylinder turbocharged.

The sales figures of the 500 are being depleted look at the current time, and at Fiat, we had no choice but to act. From 2012 to 2017, the annual sales have increased from nearly 8,500 units in 2012 to less than 850 by 2017. The plunge could not be more giddy. The same phenomenon is observed in the United States.

By doing this, we took the decision to say goodbye to the 1.4 L 101 horsepower and 97 pound-feet to make room for the 1.4 L turbocharged engine that develops 135 horsepower and 150 pound-feet. A power a lot more reasonable.

If this engine is familiar to you, it is quite normal. He was under the hood of the 500 Turbo. It was a version set in the middle of the range, which was the bridge between the 500 and Abarth.

For the moment, we do not have information in link with the sale price of the 500. It is not known whether it will be revised upward or downward by 2018.
