Fiat is cosidering bringing a sporty version of the 500 minicar as a competitor for the Mini Cooper. It is also said that if it will come, it won’t wear the Fiat badge. Exports could begin sometime after 2010.

The new model, Abarth 500, will be the sporty version of the Fiat 500 and will have an output of 120 hp.

In Europe the Abarth 500 will be priced at 15.000 euro (or $20,195). The Mini Cooper is priced at $18,700.

"We cannot exclude our new 500 would go, in some forms, to the US market, but not shortly," Marchionne said recently at a press event for the Fiat Linea sedan.
