Racy Abarth ad with Charlie Sheen

Fiat USA has released this funny advert showing Charline Sheen in house arrest. He's making the most of it in his Abarth 500...

Ever unleashed a remote control car inside your own house? Then the marks on the skirting boards will pay testament to how hard it is to control a 15-inch scale model amongst household fittings. 

But Charlie Sheen is a winner, which is why this Superbowl advert shows him tearing around his mansion in a full-size Abarth 500. Though its best remembered the 500 is considered miniature in the grand old US of A, so it’s no wonder he can handbrake it past the grandfather clock without even a nod to house fixture safety.  

Tyre smoke, goading girls and a party should spell trouble, but one glance at the cabin shows all is going to be ok. For despite having 160hp under his right foot, with the boost gauge showing no positive pressure Charlie’s clearly taking it easy. To be fair, knocking over the canapés (or the pretty maid dishing them out) wouldn’t do much for his squeaky clean image, would it? 

So yes, as it says on the video: not all bad boys are created equal - a real bad boy would have been bouncing off the plug sockets as well as the rev-limiter.
