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 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.
