Abarth reviews

A former motorsport team and independent tuning company, Abarth has long produced high performance versions of Fiat's cars.

In recent years, Abarth has been established as a standalone brand – in the same way that Citroën split off its DS luxury division several years ago. However, the major difference is that DS cars look completely different from the Citroëns on which they’re based, whereas Abarths rely on bodykits and big wheels to mark them out.

The Abarth 500e is a sporty version of the Fiat 500 Electric, whilst the Abarth 600e is a beefed-up version of the Fiat 600e small SUV.
