404HP Fiat 500 Abarth By Pogea

Pogea has just announced its latest take on the Fiat 500 Abarth. Called the Ares, it packs quite a punch. 404 horsepower, to be exact, which is a heck of a lot in such a small vehicle.

To get there, Pogea fitted the 1.4-liter turbo four with new pistons, turbocharger, connecting rods, exhaust valves, crankshaft, camshaft, oil cooler… the works.

To handle the extra muscle, Pogea also fitted a new clutch, flywheel, and transmission oil cooler, as well as 322-millimeter perforated disc brakes packed into 18-inch alloys, shot with Michelin Pilot Sport rubber and fitted to a KW Clubsport suspension.

All of that is packed into a wide body with carbon-fiber panels to make it look more like a competition touring car than a hairdresser’s fashion accessory.

 

 

The list of upgrades goes on and on, but the sum total is a 0-62 time quoted at 4.7 seconds and a top speed of verified at 179 mph.
