Who is That Girl on Fiat 500 Abarth Advertisement?

I know that you were looking for the girl at Fiat 500 Abarth Super Bowl advertisement! You wasted your time on Google and Wikipedia and I guess you found her or you couldn’t! So, for the people who did not manage to find her, I did find her :) Her name is Catrinel Menghia from Romania, and she is not Italian but lives in Italy!

Anyway, this footage took place in Vegas by Venom. Venom modified the 500 Abarth and replaced many parts with carbon fibre. Engine is also reprogrammed to produce 160 PS and making puff sound thanks to bypass valve of the turbo.

Sexy Fiat 500 Abarth Advertisement

I don’t know how this happened but I missed to post this advertisement of Fiat 500 Abarth during the Super Bowl. As I mentioned before, Fiat 500 is available in US and they also introduced the Abarth version. Abarth is involved with performance tuning for Fiat vehicles and they have been doing this for quite long time. Last time they tuned the 500, the engine was so big they had to cut the engine bonnet to close it proper. Basically, the engine was partially outside! Hopefully, this time everything is packed under the bonnet.

This advertisement is probably the best Fiat 500 advertisement. I really love the engagement of an attractive Italian woman with a performance focused 500. Usually, performance version is more focused on muscular notions and many brands never place a female character. However, Fiat tried to emphasise the attractiveness and elegance of the 500 Abarth through this way.

Before I finish, this advertisement has some similar bits with last year’s Alfa Romeo MiTo online advertisement. Alfa Romeo UK, released an interactive online advertisement for the MiTo and scenario was based on a sexy Italian woman. And I found some similar bits with MiTo’s advertisement such as her mood change. In MiTo’s advertisement, her mood was changing so rapidly and you had to control her. In 500 Abarth’s advertisement it happens in the same way.

Fiat 500 Abarth Venom (2013)

 

CAR GARAGE | Fiat 500 Abarth Venom (2013) | Ok well Fiat has Decided to deliver the Abarth and placed an ad That spoke to all of us. In all honesty I think this is a great city car as it is nimble, small, and can be fun to drive on a daily basis. There will be a large third-party performance for all three of Following these cars as we hope to see bigger turbos and / or turbo kits, downpipes and freer flowing up pipes, intakes, and even racing cams and complete heads.

There has been talk of a 200hp engine in this 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth Venom and for that reason I am very interested. A car of this size with power like that is bound to make you Giddy especially if you're blasting some Wham! on the radio whilst drinking your orange mocha Appalachian.

I give Fiat a lot of shit Because They were Bringing a car to America and They first targeted the ladies as this car was so happy and cute. You Might as well have put Cher in a Fiat 500 with whores shirtless boy carrying the car through the fabulous streets of Chelsea. Now we as men have a need for speed and so to bring us to the circle of Fiat we need more power and black wheels and dual exhaust and rockets, yeah big fucking rockets.

So what do you think about the Fiat name in America and do you think That at a starting price of $ 22,000 That these are worth it. Would you rather go for a Mini Cooper S or a Mazda Miata or the BR-Z - FR-S or something else That is comparable? Let me know what you would drive. UN

Fiat 500C Abarth Maserati

Here comes another sexy Fiat 500C! This model is based on the Abarth version and designed for Maserati. Abarth 695 Tributo Maserati, don’t ask me why it is called 695. I really don’t know.

This version is only limited to 499 units and powered by a 1,4-lt turbo petrol engine (180PS) with automated manual gearbox. Actually, design features are more distinctive than the technical features, you may see this through the precise accuracy of the stitches on the seats. Eventually, the quality of the production is really high inside the car; the instrument panel is made by British brand Jaeger LeCoultre, the leather is sand beige Poltrona Frau, exterior is three stage clear coat Pontevecchio Bordeux and looks exquisite. And also a very nice diffuser at the rear end!

This car is a competitor for Mini Inspired by Goodwood and Aston Martin Cygnet. Actually, it is much better than the Cygnet, I am sorry but this is the truth. Why? Because, this 500C has a specially designed exhaust to give the impression of Maserati style excitement in a small car.

Jennifer Lopez Fiat 500 Ads

I noticed that Fiat did a respectful investment to Fiat 500 model through placing Jennifer Lopez on advertisements. We used to see this type of advertisements mostly in fashion industry and less in automotive industry. Land Rover did it with Beckham but she never played on advertisements.

However, Fiat changed the rule of the game and released advertisements with Jennifer Lopez. I think it will help to increase the awareness of 500 in many different markets, but also it may create women targeted product as well, and some men increase their attention to 500 by Jennifer Lopez. Actually, I don't think that Jennifer Lopez will boost the sales of 500 for men consumers. But, I am sure that awareness of 500 will boost!

And the Jennifer Lopez's Papi video clip features the Fiat 500 and also a new Volvo S60, an old Volvo, and old BMW 5 Series, and old Mercedes E-Class. I do understand the old cars in the clip but they shouldn't be placing the brand new Volvo S60! 

Lastly, in UK advertisement the Fiat 500 is an European spec version. Usually, some agencies miss this minor detail and the advertisements sometimes look funny, but they didn't make any mistakes here ;) Moreover, the targeted message for the US market is Sport and for the European market is Economy. You may see this through the buttons pressed by Lopez! US: Sport, Europe: Economy! For US market 500 is a Sporty car and for European market it is an economical car.

Here are the videos of Jennifer Lopez and Fiat 500, plus her song played on advertisement Papi!

Fat Fiat 500

Fiat 500 ate too much fast food! Here is the Fiat Obsese, sorry Fiat Ellezero! I think Fiat feed the 500 with an unhealthy diet and turned into Ellezero. Eventhough, it is a new vehicle from Fiat for small MPV market, but it looks just a fat 500 and silently shouting “I want to eat that chips with burger and drink extra creamed frappuccino!”

The design should have been better!

Frank Stephenson

A few hours ago, I found some interviews with Frank Stephenson on YouTube. If you don’t know Frank, I am sure you know his designs; BMW X5, Mini, Maserati MC12, Maserati Quattroporte, Ferrari F430, Ferrari 612, Fiat 500, McLaren MP4-12C and many other cars. In my opinions, he will be remembered as one of the most influential car designer in his era. Especially his interpretation of the new Mini and new Fiat 500 are the most remarkable cars of this century, and never getting old Quattroporte!

We will find more about him on these interviews. And additional information to his Wikipedia page, he stayed in Istanbul, Turkey for six years!

Lancia with A New Face

Flash news from Ferrari! The legendary designer Lorenzo Ramaciotti is assigned to create a new design identify for Chrysler and Lancia. For those of you, don’t know the present situation: Ferrari is owned by Fiat, Chrysler and Lancia is also owned by Fiat; so they are under the same company.

Ramaciotti had significant design contributions on Ferrari F430, 550 Maranello and 612 Scaglietti. Based on these state of art beautiful cars, I can say one thing! In five-year time, we will see exquisite Lancia and Chrysler models on market. This revision on design identify will definitely increase the market share of these two brands.

Just think about Kia five years ago and now! It will happen the same with Lancia and Chrysler as well.

500 by Gucci

Couple of months ago Fiat announced a limited edition Fiat 500 by Gucci. After that time, I did not hear anything about this car. Hopefully, I saw the new photos from Fiat. Unexpectedly photos are with a woman, called Natasha Poly. Instead of details of the 500 by Gucci, we can see the details of Natasha.

Let's go back to 500 by Gucci, interpretation of 500 by contemporary fashion Gucci is better than my expectations. Except too many Gucci logos! The reason why I am surprised with by Gucci edition is the exquisite interior detail quality. Gucci reflected the high quality production inside the car also, this situation does not happen all the time. Some of the limited editions only focused on sticking its logo around the car and does not focus on increasing the production quality. However, Gucci realised how to interpret the car interior and we did not see any disappointing result. Even though I am not a Gucci fan, after 500 by Gucci edition I changed my perception towards the brand.

This sexy fashion item is going to be available on June with starting price of €17000. Honestly, for this price tag you cannot buy something special like this! But Mini by Goodwood edition is also a very strong rival ;)

If you are planning to reserve one, here is the website http://500bygucci.com
