OmniAuto艺术家近日绘制了Abarth 500X合成图。这款小型跨界车不再采用菲亚特车标，而是一个蝎子标志，菲亚特-克莱斯勒公司已经宣布将于2017年重新推出Abarth版本。从图片看，该车比去年SEMA改装车展发布的500X Chicane概念车更具侵略性。而这张合成图就是根据该车绘制的，它的外观更粗壮，采用了更低的运动悬挂和硕大合金轮圈。目前还不清楚该车将搭载何种引擎，但候选引擎包括取自阿尔法罗密欧4C的1.75升涡轮增压引擎，预计功率将达到200马力并搭配全驱系统。该车其他升级包括更大刹车盘，可发出更震撼声浪的运动排气系统。车辆内装也将升级，将采用不同内饰以彰显其不是普通的菲亚特500X。菲亚特将于今年发布Abarth 124 Spider，2017年发布Abarth 500X。

 

Abarth 500X render makes us wish it was real

The very talented artist from OmniAuto in charge of rendering future models has returned with a potential look for the confirmed Abarth 500X.

 

The petite crossover from Italy will lose the Fiat badge in favor of a scorpion logo as FCA has announced a while back an Abarth version will be introduced in 2017. It will come with a significantly more aggressive body that could be similar to the 500X Chicane concept unveiled at last year’s SEMA. The attached render is based on that and proposes a beefier appearance matched with a lowered sports suspension and chunky alloys.

 

It won’t be just show without the extra go as the Abarth 500X will also pack considerably more punch. It’s unclear at this point what will power the crossover, but one candidate is the turbocharged 1.75-liter from the Alfa Romeo 4C. In this new application, the motor could be clocked to somewhere in the region of 200 horsepower sent to an all-wheel drive setup.

 

Other upgrades planned by Abarth likely include bigger brakes and a sportier exhaust system providing a more aggressive note. Some tweaks inside the cabin will also be implemented, so expect different upholstery and fresh trim to denote it’s not an ordinary Fiat 500X.

 

We will have to wait for the Abarth-prepared 500X since the model is due to arrive in 2017, following this year’s launch of the Abarth 124 Spider.
