But this 500 is actually a product of independent racing garage Romeo Ferraris, which has rebodied the 500 in carbon fiber and fitted it with a wing that looks big enough to sustain a jumbo jet&#8217;s flight path. If that&#8217;s not bonkers enough, Ferraris has squeezed out an insane output of 360 horsepower from the Abarth&#8217;s 1.4-liter turbo four. That&#8217;s more than 257 horsepower per liter, and rivals even the similarly insane <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/04\/sema-2009-427-powered-fiat-500-is-the-stuff-dreams-are-made-of\/\">427 Cinquecento from SEMA<\/a> for pure lunacy.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers Aldo Cerruti, Michela Cerruti and Mario Ferraris will be taking turns behind the wheel at the upcoming 6 Hours of Vallelunga endurance race on November 22.
