2014 | Fiat 500 Abarth Full Motion Vehicle Simulator

This 2013 Abarth is a light, turbo-powered, 6-speed manual performance model for the Fiat 500. The Abarth utilizes a front McPherson strut and a rear Torsion beam suspension design typically found in small cars. The suspension design actually proved to be a challenge for our team. The small trunk and hatch space of the Abarth made it more difficult for our team to mount our hydraulics out of view and to accurately simulate the actual travel, speed, rate and effective angle. The Abarth was only shown at the 2014 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
