Anniversary GIFT - When we celebrate a milestone, receiving a special gift adds to the joy. Similarly, the Italian manufacturer Abarth marked its 75th anniversary with a unique gift to its community. Founded in 1949 by Carlo Abarth in Turin, Italy, this company initially focused on modifying and tuning Fiat cars for racing.

In a release from Parent Company Stellantis, dated March 31, 2024, the Abarth 600e Scorpionissima's interior is described as sporty and luxurious. The dashboard plate, adorned with Abarth graphics and exclusive patterns, alongside a dark cabin environment, are its main features. The "threatening" scorpion logo on the steering wheel and colored stitching add to the mysterious and sporty impression.
The new Abarth 600e is an exciting addition to the iconic Italian brand's lineup. The launch model, a special edition called 'Scorpionissima,' will be limited to just 1,949 units. It is the high-performance version of Abarth's new electric Fiat 600e, which was launched last year.

Despite its 240 hp (in the Scorpionissima version), the 600e stands as the most powerful Abarth model. Staying true to the hot hatch concept, it includes a mechanical limited-slip differential to improve traction. Abarth has collaborated with Hankook, the tire supplier for the Formula E racing series, to design the 600e's tires.
Enhancements include larger tires on 20-inch wheels and a more robust braking system. True to Abarth tradition, there is a giant ‘Abarth’ sticker above the side sills and a neon green scorpion emblem on the front fenders.

The launch edition Scorpionissima features an exclusive Hypnotic Purple paint, inspired by the hypnotic effect after a puncture, highlighting its aggressive nature. An aerodynamic rear spoiler is designed to maximize performance. Assuming the battery is the same as the Fiat version, the Abarth 600e is expected to have a 54-kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a range of around 400 km on the European WLTP test cycle.
The racing spirit of the Abarth 600e Scorpionissima is evident in its special racing-inspired seats and a sporty steering wheel wrapped in leather and Alcantara. Rear passenger footrests serve as additional storage space, ambient lighting enhances the cabin's luxury, and a 10-inch head unit with navigation accompanies the journey.
