Fiat 500 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari

Following the highly successful Fiat Abarth 500 hard-top and convertible models, Fiat has introduced a new, exclusive Abarth model – the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari.

The new Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari takes inspiration from the original 1960s Abarth and Italian supercar automaker Ferrari. The new model boasts a stunning sporty style and a 1368cc turbocharged engine producing a whopping 180bhp.

Sporty ‘Ferrari’ Style:

With its striking hot red body colour, dark windows, 17-inch alloy wheels and silver sporty lines, there is no mistaking who Fiat took they’re inspiration from… and if you still can’t guess, the name says it all! The new Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari boasts a striking ‘Ferrari inspired’ sporty style with carbon wing mirrors, Xenon headlights, ‘Record Monza’ dual-mode exhaust and Corsa Grey wheels and front air intakes.

Step inside and the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is packed with tons of sporty features as standard including power steering, automatic climate control, sport button, Abarth leather steering wheel, Abarth Corsa seats and Blue&Me hands-free infotainment.

Power & Performance:

Powered by a 1368cc turbocharged engine, the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari produces a whopping 180bhp at 5500rpm and 250Nm torque at 3000rpm. Fiat have also proved that small doesn’t always mean slow with the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari accelerating from 0-62mph in 7 seconds and boasting a top speed of 140mph.

Mounted behind the steering wheel are the paddles for the electro-hydraulic Abarth Competizione gearbox which has manual and auto modes. The Sport button activates a more racy setting for the gearbox, engine control unit and steering for an even more responsive drive.

The Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari also boasts an impressive combined fuel consumption of 43.3mpg. Maintaining the Fiat 500’s safety record, the new Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari comes with five airbags, electronic stability programme (ESP) and torque transfer control (TTC).

British Exclusivity:

Just 152 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari models will be available to special order in Britain with the UK versions boasting right hand drive.

“Abarth and Ferrari are both iconic names in Italian automotive history,” says Ivan Gibson, head of Abarth in the UK. “Their passion and dedication helped to create a reputation for sporting excellence in Italian cars around the world, and this new Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari upholds that tradition with some style.”

The new Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is available to special order through Abarth’s 17-strong UK dealer network and is priced at £29,600.
