Although products from Fiat’s performance division, Abarth, aren’t marketed in Brazil, we were curious to know what the new Fiat Argo would look like with the Scorpion badge. IAB’s Shoeb R Kalania has created a rendering of the Fiat Argo Abarth.

If an Abarth Argo was planned, it’s likely to pack the company’s favourite 1.4L T-Jet turbocharged engine, complete with upgrades. In the Abarth 595, the engine develops 160 PS at 5,500 rpm and 230 Nm at 3,000 rpm, and can be had with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed MTA (automated manual).

There may never be an Abarth variant of the Fiat Argo, but the company will introduce a range-topping HGT variant with hot hatch levels of performance. It packs the 1.8L E-TorQ N/A engine from the Fiat Toro, which produces 135 hp and 184 Nm of torque (petrol)/139 hp and 189 Nm of torque (ethanol). Power is sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
