Second-Hand Abarth 595
Used Abarth 595
Mixing style with a power, a second-hand Abarth 595 is a 1.4 Turbo T-Jet with 145 HP, Tourque Transfer Control and Sport Mode as standard. Finished with satin chrome detailing, there’s no wonder this is a popular car on the used market. It’s ideal for people of all ages as it makes a fantastic little runaround and is great for city driving.
What You Get
The Turismo and Competizione 595 models are a variation on the successful Fiat 500 which have been professionally tweaked and tuned by Abarth. Its aims were to introduce engine and trim tweaks to the already successful range to appeal to the performance car enthusiast. Released in 2012 as a limited edition, the 595 would bring further individuality and comfort combined with legendary racing car speed poise and prowess. The 2007 Fiat 500 was a quality car. However, the Abarth 595 concept introduces a level of trim not seen on even the top range of the 500 line. The emphasis is on elegance and detail. Outside the Abarth 595 has a custom paint job featuring two-tone detail in either Racing Grey or Officina Red. This is complemented by titanium grey details which set off imaginative custom front and rear grilles. The interior is equally eye catching with luxurious two-tone leather seats, custom-designed Alutex accelerator pedals and matching footrest and running boards.
How it Drives
Engine options are limited to one variation, with the focus on quality rather than quantity. Both the Turismo and Competizione ranges feature a 1.4-litre T-Jet engine which has been tweaked and tuned to provide the very best performance and driving capability. The 1.4-litre, four-cylinder, petrol engine produces 160bhp at 5750rpm and a maximum torque of 230Nm at 3000rpm when Sport mode is engaged. This enables a used Abarth 595 to reach potent levels of performance, including reaching 60mph in around 7.4 seconds and reaching a top speed of 127mph. The suspension is smooth and responsive, being controlled by a MacPherson configuration and anti-roll bar in the front position and a rear torsion beam and anti-roll bar to the rear.
