£40k Fiat..

[mmc01]

This arrived into work a few weeks back.. Ferrari Tributo Edition 500 only 150 RHD models made, only heard of one more in Ireland..

 

[bull20]

You would have to have a wild amount of disposable income to justify spending 40k on that... whats the spec?

 

[mmc01]

1.4 turbo, 180bhp, auto/tip box, lots of carbon, uprated exhaust, uprated brembos etc.
note off it is unbelievable for such a small car..

 

[wiggee]

gawd 40k

 

[Jason]

That is NOT a 40k car! Jesus Christ

 

[DaddyCC]

HAHA, thats class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mmc01]

Quite.

That is old news.

Fiat have a £40k 500 as a "mini" Ferrari. Aston have a Toyota iQ in drag called the Cygnet for similar money.

These cars are there to make up the numbers for "total emission" across a manufacturer's range. Every supercar maker has one on their books, one way or another, to meet EU regulations.

No sane person would actually buy them, and nobody expects anyone to buy them. They are just there to make the numbers.

Surprised to see one over here, I guess it looks nice in the showroom

I love those 500's, cracking little car.

Wouldn't be spunking 40 bags on one, but I do see the appeal.

 

[tbdevpaul]

If I was paying 40K for a limited edition fiat it would need to be Number 1 of a limited edition run of 1

 

[mmc01]

personally i think theres a buyer for it somewhere in the country, the italian brands have a bigger following than i ever thought in NI.
wouldn't be for me all the same, but nice to see something rarer than most ferraris, lamborghinis etc everyday.

I bet a RMS member buys it....!

 

[Daviddunlop83]

A guy in work saw this when getting his car fixed at donnelys.

Complete rip off.

The normal 500 is possibly one of the worse cars ive driven. Tho im sure it drives alot better or you would hope so for 40k

Or reliable.

The chances of either of those things happening is about the same.

 

[Lyons]

£40k would also get you a realo Ferrari instead of a tributo.

 

[syecadelic]

how much is it worth after you drive it out of the garage? and get a bit of dirt splashed on it. £25k?
nice colour all the same, and would be a fun driving motor with 180 bhp in something equivalent size to a shoebox....

As doovde said, reliability mite b an issue with a fiat.. #JustSaying
How about parts? lol

 

[beeko85]

someone did buy one, and they took it to Torque Tronix to get it mappped...

does this relate to a different thread on here.... LOL

 

[beeko85]

lol, no no, just saying. Besides, every thread on here withgoes the same way once TT is mentioned.

 

[syecadelic]

I dread to see the outcome
sure halfords air filter and some blue sidelight bulbs is all you need.
Cheapest way to wreck a 40K car..
seen a white GTR, bueatiful, until I seen the owner had put blue reg light bulbs in... =FAIL

Are you sure it wasnt those new LED bulbs that a lot of newer cars use that gives off a slight blue glow?! Or are we talking Smurf style blue

smurf style blue,
I'm aware of the l.e.d white(blue) colour lol
This blue would have made a smurf look pale....
