  • Abarth 695 Maserati Edition at the Mille Miglia 2012

    Abarth 695 Maserati Edition will be run in limited series of 499 units. The model will make its official debut on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Mille Miglia, which Enzo Ferrari called “the most beautiful race in the world”.

    Displayed at Piazza della Loggia in Brescia in the midst of the collectors’ automotive jewels and “luxury cars” of today, this glamorous car represents the bond between Abarth and Maserati, based on a host of shared values, including attention to detail, elegance and a passion for performance and sport.

    The new Abarth 695 Maserati Edition is powered by a 1.4 liter four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with 180HP (132 kW) at 5500RPM and 250Nm (185 lb-ft) of torque at 3000RPM. The engine is mated to a 5-speed Abarth Competizione gearbox with paddles on the steering wheel.

    0-100 km/h in 7 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph).

    The fuel consumption is great – 8.4 l / 100 km in city, 5.4 l on the highway and 6.5 liters per 100 km combined cycle.

    The front suspension features Abarth Koni shock absorbers with FSD valve. At the rear, the small car comes with the same setup. The ride is lowered in order to improve the handling and the traction.

    Speaking for handling, the steering features electric power with “sport mode”.

    The brake system is also new – 305 mm x 22 mm perforated and self-ventilating front discs and 264 mm x 22 perforated rear. There is also a TTC – Torque Transfer Control improving the traction.

    Abarth 695 Maserati Edition rolls 7J x 17” alloy wheels fitted with 205/40 R17 tires.

  • Abarth 695 Competizione in Frankfurt

    The Abarth 695 Competizione is born to be the first “street legal” Scorpion racing car. It is showcased  at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

    Like a real racing car, this is a two seater in which the rear seats are replaced by a roll bar the same Grigio Competizione Opaco shade as the bodywork. In this way the car acquires additional sporting character because the roll bar decreases its weight, making it even better performing.

    It also boasts special sport suspension, 17” alloy wheels fitted with low-profile performance tires and Brembo brake system including 305 mm discs with 4-piston calipers behind the rims.

    The interior comes with Sabelt racing seats, some carbon fiber elements and each 695 Competizione is numbered. There are no rear seats, but Abarth fitted a roll bar for further stiffness and safety.

    Abarth 695 Competizione is powered by a 1.4 liter turbocharged petrol engine with 180PS (132 kW) and 270Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed sequential gearbox, which delivers the torque to the front wheels. 0 to 100 km/h in under 7 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph).

    Besides all that power, the small car averages 6.5 litres per 100 km and just 151 g/km of CO2.

    Last, but not least there is a “Record Monza” variable back-pressure “dual mode” exhaust, designed to improve engine performance and sound over 3 000 RPM.
