Rumors of an Abarth roadster have been making the rounds alnost from the moment Fiat revived the Abarth brand in 2007. Recently the rumors were that Abarth would work with either Lotus or KTM to develop a relatively low-prices, mid-engined roadster. The lastes rumors, however, are that Abarth are to go it alone.
Apparently the problem with the KTM partnership was related to costs as KTM’s carbon-fiber X-Bow, upon which the Abarth roadster could be based, was too expensive for price bracket Fiat wants to target. The problem with Lotus is more political as the Lotus CEO, Danny Bahar, defected to Lotus from Ferrari, taking a number of personnel from both Ferrari and Maserati with him.
