car-evolutioncars Tuner Report: Karl Schnorr Kraftfahrzeuge



Karl Schnorr Kraftfahrzeuge of Germany has just released details of his tuned version of the Fiat 500 Abarth. Schnorr has turned up the heat in the Fiat 500 Abarth with suspension, wheels and power upgrades.

First, special coilover suspension is installed that is lower and stiffer and improves the already very capable 500 Abarth. Next, high end 17 x 7 OZ Racing, Superturismo "Serie Rossa" wheels were selected shod with 205/40 ZR 17 Pirelli Pzero Nero tires.

These upgrades are vital because the big news is the increase in power. There are two power level options, first is power level I, which bumps up the normal 135 hp Abarth 28 hp and 33 LbFt of torque for a total of 163 hp and 185 LbFt respectively.

Power level II is a tire dealers best friend, guaranteed to melt the Pzero Nero's with 200 hp! That's a 65 hp increase and it comes by reworked engine software, bigger turbo and a sport exhaust. This is 10hp more than the rare racing version of the Fiat 500, the Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse.

Below is the official Press Release from Karl Schnorr Kraftfahrzeuge:
