About the Abarth 595
▶
The Abarth 595 is a high-performance variant of the Fiat 500, positioned as a hot hatch for the city car segment. It combines the retro styling of the 500 with turbocharged engines and sportier suspension, appealing to enthusiasts seeking affordable performance and character. The current generation maintains the original 500's iconic design while offering genuine driving engagement through mechanical upgrades rather than size or power alone. It competes in a niche where practicality takes a back seat to personality and driving dynamics. The 595 has evolved through generations with incremental improvements to engines and equipment, but retains its core appeal as a fun, characterful alternative to more conventional superminis.
