Abarth Offshore, it took courage!

Land and sea mobility have never had a peaceful relationship. So when a boat manufacturer launches an Abarth 500 on the water, one might fear the worst.

100% Made in Italy, Car Off-Shore was born with the idea of elegantly and amusingly bridging the worlds of navigation and road traffic with a unique product, a small outboard boat styled after the Fiat 500. The final result inevitably recalls beach pedal boats, but it’s quite effective in differentiating itself! And as a cherry on top, the initiative has received support from the Italian car manufacturer, which is directly involved through its design and engineering office.

Naturally, when it comes to sporty Fiat, Abarth is mentioned, and the temptation to put a floating version of the sporty little chip on the water was too great. The small hydrojet-powered outboard boasts 230 horsepower. The lights are functional, and the vinyl interior incorporates Abarth’s stylistic markers, including two bucket seats.

Abarth that floats or cake disguised as an Abarth?

The result is quite peculiar, to say the least, but we let you form your own opinion.
