If a few years ago Fiat was a little in the red and, above all, far behind, the situation has improved significantly for the Italian manufacturer. Indeed, the latter was able to regain momentum, which was significantly helped by, in particular, the launch in 2020 of its 500 electric. The electric city car quickly became successful, even surpassing the thermal version in terms of sales. A real tour de force from the Transalpine firm, which obviously has no intention of stopping there. And for good reason, last year the company also introduced its new 600e, an electric compact SUV.
There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice, it will be necessary to return pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

New version
And the latter should have a long and beautiful career, as she will soon offer herself new version. But what could it be? Well, just a more sporty version, redesigned by Abarth, as indicated by the manufacturer in a press release just published. Enough to answer the rumors that have grown in recent weeks about the potential appearance of a modified version of the Scorpion. It also describes the latter as “the most powerful Abarth ever”. This is very promising for fans of the Italian drug!
Up to 240 horsepower
But what can we expect from this much improved version? Well, the power should increase to 240 horsepower against 156 now. But that’s not all, because running gear, as well as braking and suspension have also been improved. A new limited-slip differential was also installed, along with new tires to optimize handling. The design also had to be revised to gain character. This new version developed by Abarth should see the light of day in the coming months.
