Without words - POGEA Racing Fiat Abarth 500 ARES with 404PS

Just now we have you 299 PS & 500 NM strong Versus Performance MINI Cooper S presented and demonstrated what a small compact vehicle can be capable of. Thanks to the Fiat 595, it is not really something new that it is much smaller, but that it is much stronger at the same time is actually hard to believe! But that's exactly what we would like to present to you now, because POGEA RACING has grabbed the ABARTH 500 and is making it the ultimate opponent! A breathtaking prestige project that there will be a maximum of 5 times and the most extreme way is to drive with the little Italian! The basis is the ABARTH 500, but thanks to the striking wide body it is hardly recognizable. Regarding the power of insane 404 hp is the ARES 595 has reached a new dimension. At this project, in the 4 years development time, almost no screw remained untouched you can see at first glance. Already the first view of the ARES confirms that everything is different here.

Eduard Pogea was driven by the development of only the highest quality components and that can be seen at every corner of the ares. Actually, the Abarth 500 can only be recognized in its basic features. The little Italian is still hidden under the carbon fiber all-round transformation, but there is no longer any trace of the cute design. The tuner completely replaces the front apron, the rear apron and the bonnet with in-house developments. Details such as the carbon fiber mirror caps or the rear and roof spoiler also make the difference. The body looks like that of a bodybuilder because the visible changes cause the Abarth 500 to have grown by a whopping 48 millimeters in width. LED side indicators, XENON main headlights, facelift rear lights in DUO LED technology or even the F1 filler neck are chic details and especially thanks to the REVENTON gray paint from Lamborghini, the overall impression is so exclusive.

Of course there was also a new wheel set, here you built much wider wheel / tire combinations because of course an adequate brake system must be installed. With regard to the brakes, it was decided to use a large 6-piston brake system with perforated 322 millimeter brake discs and racing brake pads. There was also a set of POGEA RACING XCUT rims in the dimensions 8 × 18 inches ET27 which are equipped with 215 / 35-18 "Michelin Pilot Sport high-performance tires. POGEA achieves a significant lowering thanks to the KW clubsport suspension that enables full height, hardness, rebound and compression adjustment. Other components from DNA (uniball dome bearings + strut struts on the front / rear axles) or additional stabilizers and camber adjusters on the rear axle are part of the modified chassis. And of course all this effort has a background because the absolute highlight is of course the extreme increase in performance. With 404 PS & 475 NM torque, the little ARES does more than my B at the timeMW E39 M5 thanks to performance diversification down only came to 380 PS & 460 NM torque. Please note, however, that the ARES only weighs 977kg with a full tank and without a driver, while the BMW weighs a good 1,6 t. It is not surprising that the acceleration is now managed in 4,7 seconds to 100 km / h and a breathtaking top speed of 288 km / h is possible.

Especially the fact that it is a front-wheel drive vehicle is spectacular, because accelerating to 5 km / h in under 100 seconds is anything but natural. In addition to the above-mentioned chassis components, this is also made possible by the limited slip differential. It goes without saying that the flap-controlled sports exhaust system is anything but restrained. The interior has also been completely planned and here POGEA developed, for example, a control center that perfectly combines functionality and comfort. Half-shell seats, an instrument cluster with a TFT screen and the complete finishing of all plastic parts with leather or Alcantara are just a few changes. With the ARES, the company impressively proves that they belong to the elite of tuners and only the purchase price of around € 60.000 (basic equipment) tarnishes the whole thing a little. With such an extremely modified & exclusive vehicle that even comes with a full guarantee and is only to be found five times in the world, the purchase price is certainly bearable.
