About the 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160

The 2010 Fiat 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,075 kg with 158 bhp, which works out at 147 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.50 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,103rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 14th quickest of the 455 Fiats here. Its 92.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.
