The Fiat 500C Abarth Promo features Supermodel Catrinel Menghia

The promotion is not the first time that the Romanian model has taken part in Abarth promotions since she was paired up with Charlie Sheen earlier this year for the Fiat 500 Abarth. She’s now back to promote the 500C Abarth, which was just introduced at the L.A. Auto Show.

The new model will go on sale in 2013 and is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir engine that produces 160 horsepower (119 kW) as well as 170 lb/ft (230 Nm). A 5-speed manual gearbox connects to the engine, allowing the hot cabrio the ability to sprint from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in “low 7 seconds range.”

The car rides on 16-inch cast aluminum wheels with Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires and has a bold front fascia. The 2013 Fiat 500C Abarth comes equipped with a power-operated roof with built-in spoiler, a rear diffuser, and updated side skirts. The suspension is sport-tuned with stiffer springs, a strong rear stabilizer bar and an upgraded side skirt. Abarth fitted the 500C high-performance brakes with red calipers and 11.1-inch diameter rotors.
