’s transition into an electrified go-faster sub-division of Fiat. Other models will receive the treatment on a case-by-case basis. Brand boss Olivier François told Autocar earlier this year that he expects to have between one and three Abarth models at any one time.
François said at the time: “A year and a half ago, I said it can’t be that hard [to make an Abarth version of the electric 500]. Electric cars are so fun to drive already. The good news is that we are actively working on it, and once it’s confirmed, it will be relatively quick. “The bad news is that it’s more complicated to deliver than I thought. If you want to do a real Abarth, it’s not the same electric powertrain. Once it has the power and torque you want, it’s no longer the same drivetrain, nor the same transmission or brakes… The whole thing has to be adapted.”
He added that final test drives were under way ahead of official confirmation of the car: “It’s going to be fantastic. The sound is going to be very interesting. There will be a choice to be silent or not.”
The best thing about the Abarth 500 is the engine. This will be a city car that looks like an Abarth. Practically I wouldnt be able to take it into the Highlands or anywhere else for a weekend. And enjoy it for what the current one does brilliantly. Driving the wheels off it.
I'm yet to see any sign of my FIAT branded 500e. Perhaps it was an illusion...
Excellent hot EVs. How about a Type R version of my Honda e too please?
Fuck the electric,okay?🤔
Ooooh what eco friendly vehicles....... lol 😆
There will be barely any difference between electric cars. Boring. No thanks. A solution looking for a problem (and making more problems).
