Description

The Fiat 500 is a A-Segment car launched in 2007 and received a facelift in 2016.

The Abarth 595 (facelift) range was launched in 2016 (replacing the Abarth 595 Turismo and 595 Competizione) featuring redesigned body, more powerful engines and richer standard equipment.

The car was fitted with an updated version of the turbocharged 1.4 liter engine producing 165hp (121kw) in the 595 Turismo and 180hp (132kw) in the 595 Competizione. The 595 Turismo could accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7,3 sec (Auto) / 7,4 sec (Manual) while the 595 Competizione only needed 6,7 sec (Auto) / 6,9 sec (Manual). Other modifications included upgraded dampers, cross-drilled brakes and the Record Monza dual-mode exhaust. Many of the upgrades introduced are the result of experience gained with the development of the 695 Biposto which implements real racing thrills and technology on a street-legal car. The 595 Competizione versions is more “purist”, designed for those who love performance and no-compromise sportiness. The 595 Turismo version on the other hand, makes reference to the typical values of the Italian GTs in a compact size perfect for use in cities.

Visually, the facelifted models featured redesigned headlights and new dual color front bumper with more modern air intake surroundings and honeycomb pattern, new alloy wheel designs, redesigned taillights and a new rear bumper. Inside the car got a redesigned dashboard with an updated infotainment system and new interior trim.
