After the 500e, the new Abarth 600e now comes as a more familiar and versatile proposition – and also more extreme

What would Carlo Abarth, a wizard at transforming small petrol engines, say about a car bearing his name powered by electricity?  

Perhaps he would say that this is a contradiction; or maybe he would say that what matters is the driving experience and the emotions that the car can convey to the driver, regardless of the energy source that propels it.

That is the belief of the Italian manufacturers, who are making the transition to a fully electric reality.  

After the 500e, the new Abarth 600e now comes as a more familiar, more versatile proposition, but also more extreme than its smaller brother. 

With a very aggressive image and an aerodynamic kit that seems to draw on the brand’s racing heritage, the 600e generates 280 horsepower and offers a driving range of up to 334km. 

The overtly sporty tuning of the chassis, brakes and steering live up to the name that the 600e bears, providing incredible driving moments and delivering on the promise of offering the thrills that enthusiasts have rightfully come to expect. Carlo Abarth would certainly like to try it out.
