Fiat released the special edition 500 based Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari in right hand drive recently, confirming that the UK market will get 152 units of the 430 Scuderia inspired £29,600 baby hatch.
The Abarth 695 comes with a 1.4-litre turbocharged engine with 180 hp and 250 Nm, good for 0 to 100km/h in just 7 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h. Fuel consumption is 5.4L/100 km so you can have your cake and eat it. The engine is mated to an electro-hydraulic Abarth Competizione transmission. Other goodies include sports tuned suspension and 284 mm multi-section discs with fixed four-piston calipers by Brembo. There’s a Sport button on the dash which activates a more racy setting for the gearbox, ECU and steering.
The most eye catching thing is the Scuderia Red paint scheme with white racing stripes along with carbon fibre caps, 17 inch Corsa Grey wheels covered in high performance tyres, additional air inlets and “Record Monza” variable back-pressure “dual mode” exhaust which comes to life at 3,000 rpm.
The yummy cabin features sports seats finished in black leather with the shell and seat base in carbon fibre, while the instrument panels feature Jaeger craftsmanship inspired by Ferrari. The steering gets red leather inserts and a tri-colour hub on which the gearshift paddles are mounted. The floors are given aluminium-like carpets along with Abarth emblazoned aluminium pedals.
This is one desirable small car that’s bound to be a collectible. Enjoy the high res pictures after the jump.

Very cute, engine power is good & fuel efficiency is also very good. Just everything looks good. Better than Mini Cooper & Audit A1. Really a desirable small car that’s bound to be a collectible.
agreed,,,,scuderia tuned somemore,,,unfortunately too expensive
this is HOT to the core!
Can’t afford this. I’ll get the Tawon instead and pimp it up to get it look like this Ferrari baby hatch.

So you see, the Indonesians and the Italians probably speak the same design language. But of course, these cars are in different leagues technology wise.
Paul, its interesting if you could provide coverage on how our neighbor Indonesia is doing in the automotive industry. Seriously, its for the love of the automobile.

£29,600? That’s almost triple the price of normal 500. And what I see is all praises on how cute and awesome this “my first ferrari” is.
Not a new strategy. Proton did it with the Satria Neo Lotus Racing R3. And got bashed to the ends of the world. That figured out our FDI drops and high outward investments. Confidence is an alien word in our country.
