Stuck by an electric version struggling to sell, Abarth is condemned to keep alive its aging sports car born in 2008!
Already 16 years of existence. An eternity in the modern automotive universe. And neither multiple technical nor aesthetic updates will change that.
Very well born, with an ultra-successful look, the 2008 Fiat 500 owes its survival to its attractive design and its ability to remain captivating. This is thanks to an intensified and openly displayed sportiness, which is rare these days and helps it stand out.
An Ultra-Limited Series
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Abarth, the Italian manufacturer chose to reward this loyal companion, not its new electric iteration. The latter struggles to find buyers due to a price of 36,900 euros (or 32,900 euros after ecological bonus deduction), which is considered too high.
The 695 75° Anniversario version thus celebrates the combustion engine and its production will be strictly limited to 1,368 units.
In terms of aesthetics, it is recognizable on the outside by its black hue accented with gold striping and a logo with interlocked pistons on its sides. On the roof, there is also a gold scorpion sticker, while the 17-inch wheels also feature this vibrant color.
Under the hood, the small 1.4-liter turbo still develops 180 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and reach 225 km/h. The suspension is entrusted to Koni shocks and braking to Brembo.
Inside, attractive black and yellow enveloping seats appear.
In Italy, this 695 75° Anniversario is sold from 37,900 euros. But for an enthusiast, this collector’s item is priceless!
