Hamann Largo – Fiat 500 with 348Nm torque!

Hamann Largo

Can you imagine 265 horsepower and 348Nm of torque in a small Fiat 500? Hamann has managed to do it, but unfortunately the base car is the 500 Abarth so you won’t be able to apply this kit to the 500 sold here in Malaysia.

But I suppose it’s nice for the larger Bravo GT’s owners knowing that the 1.4 liter T-JET engine is capable of such power outputs. The 265 horses is achieved at 5,630rpm while you will have to wait longer for the massive torque as it is only achieved at 4,200rpm.

This Hamann 500 (which they’ve called the Hamann Largo) is going to be one scary car indeed – that amount of power and torque in such a small car beats both the Cooper S and Cooper JCW flat. But er, if it were up to me, I’m gonna go for the power upgrade, the brakes, and skip the bodykit.

    Agree, get the boost in power and drop the body kits. This way, you can ambush all the Wiraloutions.

    wondering y Torino still sit behind quietly.
    Fiat 500 is somehow an alternative to Mini Cooper S in europe !!!!
    With its dedicated Abarth wth Esse Esse kit…is easily 160bhp, and with Hamann tuner….a massive torque/bhp is achieved.

    if Mini Cooper S can fetch RM200k …. y not Fiat 500 do d same?
    Come on Torino, start working hard and get more Fiat on d road …..

    too over the top bodykit, sometime sublime would fit it.

    that way, when people at red lights laugh at your “cute” car, you can smoke their asses while they’re still in gear 2.

    WOW!!! that’s very impressive coming from a 1.4 turbo engine. Looks like displacement have no placement in the future lol :D

    I’m no paul, but its accomplished by installing force induction (turbo), high performance parts, ecu, air filter, exhaust system, flywheel, piston parts, manifold, etc…

    Its amazing what they can do for the 1.4 engine. I really hope proton could make a turbo engine for its car IMHO, scrap Campro CPS and redesign a new turbo engine based that’s fuel efficient and fast.

    if Golf GT, the one with 1.4TSI twin-charger, is tuned up properly, I think the power sure over this baby car.

    i think ten years ago, if i not mistaken, 1.8 twin-charger ( that time this engine is developed just for racing only) can push out 400HP!!! but sad to say that the driver driving the car was dead by accident.

    now, VW already successfully made use the twin-charger technology, but just for a small displacement 1.4liter only, wondering in future any carmaker will produce a 1.8 or 2.0 twin-charger.
