Fiat has been keeping quiet for a while with no products launched in the first quarter of 2015. But this could well be the lull before the storm as the company plans to kick start this year with the launch of the most potent car from their stable - the Abarth 595 Competizione - in July this year.
There have been a string of changes in the upper level management at Fiat and there has also been a change in strategy when it comes to its approach to India. It's been a long wait for the Abarth 595 and the company has finally taken the decision to bring it to India this July.

Under the hood of the Abarth 595 is a 1.4-litre T-Jet motor which churns out a massive 158 bhp and 230 Nm torque. The car will be offered in India either with a 5-speed automated manual transmission or AMT, which is not good for purists who love to have power at will.
The launch of the Abarth 595 will see a string of launches from the Fiat stable as they plan to bring in a new car every two months till the end of the year. The company under the new leadership is looking ready to take on its competition.
