Abarth 695 75 Anniversario Edition Honours Brand's 75th Birthday with Special Black-Gold Livery

The Scorpion brand has unveiled a special edition, called the Abarth 695 75 Anniversario, to commemorate its 75th birthday. This edition pays homage to the renowned 1.4-litre four-cylinder T-Jet engine, with a limited production run of 1,368 units, matching the engine's cubic capacity (1,368cc). The celebratory hatchback is finished in a striking black and gold colour scheme. Unique design elements of the car include a set of 17-inch golden alloy wheels, the 75 Anniversario piston head graphics on the sides, golden Abarth branding on the doors, and a prominent gold scorpion on top.

To provide some context, Abarth is Fiat's performance brand, and Fiat introduced several Abarth vehicles in India during its presence in our market until 2019 when Fiat India terminated operations due to dwindling sales and high operating costs. Some of the remarkable Fiat vehicles included the 595, Grande Punto, Abarth Punto, and Linea T-Jet.

Returning to the recently unveiled Anniversary model, here's everything you need to know about its features and other characteristics.

The dashboard of the special edition car is upholstered in black Alcantara, which matches the inlays on the Sabelt Carbon seats. The interior also gets an embroidered gold 75° Anniversario symbol, extra carbon detailing on the steering wheel, and aluminium pedals.

The celebratory model features Abarth's Record Monza exhaust with stacked tailpipes, an active valve unit, and Koni frequency-selective dampers. Other features include a Beats Audio sound system, an auto climate control system, a 7-inch infotainment screen, and a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, among others.

Abarth 600e Scorpionissima Launch Edition Unveiled

As reported earlier, Fiat's parent company, Stellantis, introduced the Abarth version of the 600e alongside the electric and mildly hybrid combustion engine versions, which were made available last year. The Abarth 600e, the automaker's newest offering, is a purely electric homage to the Fiat 600 from the 1950s and 1960s. It offers far greater power and comes with a limited launch edition.

The exclusive Scorpionissima edition is going to have a limited production run of 1,949 units. While UK prices and availability are not known at this time, market reports suggest a starting price of around EUR 40,000 (approximately Rs 41.83 lakh).
