Meet the new Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari, which debuts at the 2009 Frankfurt motor show. Built upon the Abarth 500 esseesse, Fiat says the Ferrari-themed compact car is designed to give Ferrari customers “a small but exciting small car for urban mobility.”
The engine delivers “over 180 hp,” and manages to crank out 169 lb-ft of torque at 3300 rpm. As is the case with a standard 500 Abarth esseesse, the Tributo Ferrari sends its power to the front wheels via a five-speed semi-automatic transmission.
The Tributo Ferrari also receives a special sport suspension, Brembo four-piston brake calipers up front, and 17-inch wheels patterned after Ferrari’s rolling stock (check the 360 Challenge Stradale wheels) The 695 can reach a top speed of 140 mph (224kph), and can spring from 0 to 62 mph (100kph) in under 7 seconds, making it slightly faster than an 500 Abarth esseesse. A special leather-trimmed interior, complete with Ferrari-inspired gauges, is also par for the course.
Fiat hasn’t specified exactly how many of the limited-edition 695 Tributo Ferrari models will be built, but every example will come painted in “Scuderia Red” check the F430 Scuderia colour and stripes.
Rumour has it that.. the price tag will be somewhere between 40.000 to 50.000 euros!
