Default Most expensive hot hatch?

I saw one of these today in Zurich



Going rate is around £38-40k.

For a Fiat 500 painted red with a Ferrari badge on it!

They are called dealer cars, but there are examples in the market.

They've copied my broom yellow Cinquecento Sporting that I had back in 1997. I put Ferrari shields on the front wings and Agip decals on lower panel afore the rear wheels.
They never even asked.....

Is it sad that I really like that? ok 40k is a bit steep, but I really do like that. Anyone know the power output of it?

180bhp, I bet with a remap and a CAI you could see 200bhp. Only thing i'd change on it is the ferrari badges. I think it looks tacky, like smart cars with mercedes badges on them. it devalues them.
