It’s been a few months since Fiat’s official tuner, namely Abarth, lifted the curtain on the its a redesigned version of the 500. By the way, the city car really became 100% electric, although the catalog still offers a thermal version with light hybridization. If some feared the disappearance of Abarth, the company seems to be doing well and continues to work with the Italian manufacturer. Thus was born the Abarth 500e, a slightly sportier version of the city car that shows off 155 horsepower.

A more affordable version

At the moment, the small Italian bombinet is sold in a special series called Scorpionissima and is priced from €43,000 for the sedan and €46,000 for the cabriolet. A very high price, justified by an interesting and generous gift. But for those looking to purchase a replica of the sports car, rest assured because its price will drop once all units of this original version are sold out. We don’t yet know the scope of the entry-level processing, but it should probably be sooner rather than later approach 35,000 euroswhich is more reasonable.

Interesting endavt

According to the brand’s Italian website, the base model will be equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as a special body kit. On board, the driver will be able to enjoy a 7-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Technical information will remain unchanged: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds and a range of 265 kilometers thanks to a 42 kW battery. It can be charged in 35 minutes at a maximum DC power of 85 kW.
