Superchips latest ECU kit benefits Abarth’s Bosch MED7.9.10 engine management system and gives the Abarth 500 an extra 22 hp and 46 Nm.

The standard 1.4 liter turbo engine make a healthy 133 hp in its factory form. With this £455 kit you get 155 hp and sharper throttle response, which means the car feels considerably sharper than before.

Superchips kit combines enhanced performance levels with total reliability, and won’t necessarily affect the car’s fuel consumption. Yes, if you get carried away with the added power and drive like a lunatic it’s going to punish you at the pumps, but in a ‘like for like’ manner, fuel consumption will not be negatively affected.

This package is suitable for all Abarth 500 models produced from February 2009 onwards and comes with a 12 month warranty.
