If you look harder at the badges it does have the Ferrari name, but yes, no where on the inside is it mentioned.
You would have to be a fool to buy this over the standard abarth....but hey, I'm sure it's costing Ferrari next to nothing...other than their brand equity I guess.

they have to do small cars...it's some new tax thing or something
top gear mentioned it, with the aston martin badged toyota iq as the example. the manufacturers need a cheap/small car for some reason...not sure of the rules/prices/sizes -merc have it easy with the a-class for example, -audi has plenty of babies...and audi own lambo, so lambo's safe -plenty of little bmw's even without their stake in mini, & they control rolls royce -the boxter's maybe small enough for porsche & ford or gm own just about everything else. plenty of small cars for them figured fiat was enough for ferrari, but i can't figure the thing out anyway but clarkson reffered to the zonda as pagani's only car...what are they gonna do?

Pagani are working on a new small V8 (more of a supercar than a HyperCar). They have ties with Mercedes so they could do an equivalent to the Brabus Smart cars. Or buy the rights to the Smart coupe (AC were in line to buy it and develop it with better suspension, manual gearbox, restyling to be the modern day equivalent of an Austin Healey Sprite.

They don't even bother to make it look like a Ferrari. This looks just like a Fiat 500. At least the small Aston had some styling changes to differentiate it from the Toyota.

I think it looks pretty cool, 80k though? I'm not so sure. If armed with 80 grand and had to buy a small higher end car, I'd go the cooper...

You sure about that?? 194kW from a 1.4-litre, that’s a specific output of 138.6kW/litre. To put that into perspective a current model HSV GTS only manages to offer 52kW per litre of combustion. |

It has nothing to do with Corporate Average Fuel Economy as 1, Ferrari is grouped in with Fiat and all the other brands it owns, and 2, it wouldn't count against Fiat as its not a Ferrari anyway.

Wasn't there a Schumacher edition Fiat a few years ago? Something small and Panda-ish? There were a lot of stickers with some mechanical changes. They werereally trying to tie it in to the Ferrari F1 cars.
