As a longtime enthusiast of high-performance vehicles and Abarth‘s iconic heritage, I can hardly contain my excitement about the unveiling of the new Abarth 600e! Having driven everything from classic hot hatches to modern supercars, I can confidently say that this electric powerhouse promises to bring an exhilarating twist to the thrill of the road.
Abarth has formally launched the new Abarth 600e, which is their strongest model yet and part of their electrification blueprint. The 600e combines racetrack-proven performance with everyday practicality, aiming to deliver the exhilaration of Abarth’s motor racing legacy in an electric setting.
The 600e’s core component is an electric motor, capable of producing 280 horsepower in the premium Scorpionissima model, reaching from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.9 seconds. For those seeking a more affordable option, there’s the standard 600e version, offering 240 horsepower. Both versions share a maximum speed of 124 mph and can travel up to 207 miles on a single charge according to the WLTP test cycle.
As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “I’m all about that 600e! It’s got a JTEKT Torsen mechanical limited-slip differential for better handling, paired with some top-tier Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires and Alcon brakes. They’ve even tested these bad boys on Formula E tracks, showing Abarth’s dedication to performance and dependability.
Remarkably, only 1,949 units of the Scorpionissima will be produced, reflecting Abarth’s founding year. These unique vehicles will be available in vibrant Acid Green and captivating Hypnotic Purple. Equipped with Level 2 Assisted Driving and cutting-edge ADAS technologies, these models strive to ensure safety while maintaining a sporty driving experience.
In the UK, it’s expected that you can place an order for the new Abarth 600e starting from £36,975 GBP ($48,000 USD) in mid-November. At this point, specifics about a worldwide launch have not been disclosed yet.
