    Pogea Racing chose a very rare model, the Fiat 500 FERRARI DEALERS EDITION of Abarth. The standard engine is already relatively strong, coming with 165PS and 230Nm. Pogea Racing increases the performance of the small Italian model by adding 100hp on top of the standard engine, producing 268PS and 330 Nm total power.

    Surely it's been upgraded from the 1.4! It doesn't say so, but you can't get 265bhp from a 1.4 litre engine and expect it to last!

    But of course for Ireland it is way too brave looking :)

    For sure, unless it looks like a Vento then it's horrible! :D
    It's a legend car, 265bhp! I think they did a great job of the design too, really modernised a classic even a little better than BMW did with the MINI.

    I'd be curious to see how a little FWD thing like that puts 268ps down. Lose the badges, stripes and carbon fibre, paint it a more discreet colour and i'd give it a whirl.:)

    I saw one of these in Spain. Scuderia stripes and everything. It didn't have those halfords bonnet vents though.

    265bhp from a 1.4 is asking for bother if you ask me

    That one in Greystones isn't actually a "replica" version, it belongs to one of my mates. Those limited editions were given to Ferrari dealers around Europe to give to Ferrari owners when their cars were being serviced. Her father knows a dealer up North, and got it for her as a first car. Its well for some, eh? :pac:

    I bet it's a blast to drive but every time I see one it reminds me of a Nissan Micra, with some Korean styling cues around the rear quarter view.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I used to see one of these Ferrari edition 500's in Rathfarnham a lot, the guy that owned it goes through several high-end cars every year, haven't seen it around in a good while so I doubt he still has it.

    The latest E-class is very Korean, and when I first saw an R-class I couldn't believe it wasn't a Ssang Yong, or at least designed by the same lad that did the Rodius.
