This 280bhp Abarth is utterly deranged, and proof that you really can have too much power.

The standard Abarth 595 is not exactly the most polished of hot hatches, so what happens when you add an obscene 100bhp? Well, it becomes a raving maniac. This car has had £16,000 worth of modifications, which includes the following:

£1500 Turbo Technics S260 turbo
£1000 HRE exhaust manifold
£100 Bosch 390cc Injectors
£400 uprated coil packs
£400 ITG cold air intake
£800 Magneti Marelli Sinfonia exhaust
£450 TMC 200 cell cat/downpipe
£900 Quaife LSD
£500 Airtec intercooler
£1500 KW v3 coilovers
£900 CAE Ultra shifter
Hose Technik braided lines
Motul RBF600 racing brake fluid
£450 DNA Lightweight front suspension arms
£450 DNA Top suspension mounts

The result is, without a doubt, the silliest car I have ever driven.
