Fiat Pulse Abarth Stranger Things: the 173-hp turbo special edition limited to just 111 units becomes an instant collector’s item

Fiat launches in Mexico an ultra-exclusive series that blends design, performance, and the global phenomenon of Stranger Things.

The new Fiat Pulse Abarth Stranger Things arrives to become a collectible from day one. The Italian brand, now an official licensee of the show’s fifth season, introduces a series limited to only 111 units, a direct nod to the iconic protagonist, Eleven. This special edition stands out not only for its 1980s-inspired aesthetics but also for a sporty mechanical setup that positions it as one of the most exclusive offerings in its segment.

The exterior blends red and black in a unique configuration featuring exclusive inserts, special decals, and three Easter eggs inspired by the show, along with a Stranger Things plate placed under the hood that reinforces its themed identity. But the real highlight lies in its powertrain: Stellantis’ T270 turbo engine, a 1.3-litre unit delivering 173 hp and 27.3 kgm of torque, paired with a high-performance AISIN six-speed automatic transmission, renowned for its quick response and ability to deliver strong performance both in urban driving and in more spirited conditions.

Inside, Fiat has created a bespoke environment for this limited edition: sport seats upholstered in leather, enhanced controls, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel featuring the Poison button, a driving mode that sharpens throttle response and mechanical behaviour for a more engaging experience. The cabin also includes a numbered badge and a premium equipment package with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, the Uconnect system, and a panoramic roof that elevates perceived quality.

The dynamic setup has also been specifically tuned. This Pulse Abarth features a 13% stiffer suspension, a larger-diameter front stabiliser bar, and 15% greater rear torsional rigidity, resulting in more precise and stable handling. Added to this is a recalibrated electronic steering system, improved brake management, and dedicated electronic tuning working in tandem with the standard ADAS safety systems, achieving a strong balance between sportiness and control.

Fiat confirms that the 111 units of the Pulse Abarth Stranger Things are now available at dealerships in Mexico at a list price of 511,000 pesos, reinforcing its positioning as a niche model aimed at brand enthusiasts, performance fans, and followers of the show looking for a truly unique piece.
