The 500 Abarth is 4.37 inches (111mm) longer due to the increase in front and rear overhang. The front overhang is 2.87 inches (73mm) longer mainly due to the increase space needed in front of the car for the intercooler and turbo plumbing. The rear is 1.61 inches (41mm) longer due to the revised rear bumper/apron/exhaust treatment. The height is .12 inches (4mm) lower. Interestingly, the wheel tracks is smaller than the standard 500. The front is .2 inches (5mm) smaller at 55.72 inches (1409mmm) and the rear is .24 inches (6mm) smaller at 55.19 inches (1402mm).
