Superchips Abarth 500

British tuner Superchips has launched an engine management system upgrade for the Abarth 500.

Applying the ECU remap to the 500’s 1.4 litre turbo engine lifts power by 22 bhp (16 kW / 22 PS) to 155 bhp (115 kW / 157 PS), while peak torque rises from 206 Nm (151 lb/ft) to 252 Nm (185 lb/ft).

The increased outputs are similar to those achieved by Abarth’s own Esseesse conversion, and Superchips has focussed on enhanced in-gear acceleration and improved throttle response without adversely affecting fuel consumption or reliability.

On sale now, the ECU remap costs £455 including VAT, and it’s available from Superchips direct or its dealer network.
