Abarth unveils its new 600e electric model
With the new Abarth 600e, the Italian brand is causing a sensation by unveiling the most powerful model in its history. Available in two 100% electric versions, the 240 horsepower Tourismo and the 280 horsepower Scorpionissimawith an engine, this little electric bomb has everything to seduce fans of sportiness. Behind this compact SUV hides a real thrill machine, capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.85 seconds in its Scorpionissima version, and 6.2 seconds for the Tourismo. Designed to offer an intense driving experience, the Abarth 600e is the result of a collaboration between Abarth and Stellantis Motorsport, the Formula E experts. This partnership has made it possible to refine a high-performance engine while guaranteeing an impressive torque of 345 Nm. Both versions offer 3 driving modes: Turismo, Scorpion Street and Scorpion Track.
100% electric, the Abarth 600e is equipped with a 54 kWh lithium-ion battery, which allows a maximum range of 334 km according to the WLTP cycle. A correct figure for daily use, but which nevertheless leaves a lot to be desired, especially for fans of long walks. On the charging side, theThe Abarth 600e is compatible with direct current (DC) fast charging up to 100 kW, which allows approximately 80% of the battery to be recovered in just 30 minutes. Inside, everything exudes sportiness: Sabelt bucket seats provide optimal support, while the aluminum pedals and the general finish immerse the driver in a typically Abarth atmosphere. There is also a 10.25-inch central touch screen which integrates the Uconnect infotainment system from Stellantis, and which is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. Abarth has even integrated a sound generator that imitates the sound of a combustion engine.
A chilling price
We are no longer simply talking about an improved Fiat 600, but rather an Abarth with a strong sporting personality and lines that do not go unnoticed. However, if the Abarth 600e impresses with its power and style, its price could well put off more than one person. Starting price for its Turismo version: 44,900 euros. For the Scorpionissima: 48,900 euros, a version which will also be produced in a limited edition of only 1,949 copiesspecifies the manufacturer in its press release. Even if its performance can justify a high price, this addition risks making this little gem inaccessible to many enthusiasts.
However, the Abarth 600e has it all: astonishing performance for an electric car, striking looks and advanced technologies. But at this price, it could struggle to find its audience among motorists with limited purchasing power.
