Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari All Chromed Up



The limited run Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari special may come with its own bespoke Scuderia Red finish with contrasting grey racing stripes (among other unique features) but that hasn't stopped Japanese tuner Office-K from giving it a new shade – fortunately, not permanent.

The tuning firm covered the Ferrari-branded Abarth model's body in a flashy chrome vinyl wrap with racing stripes in the colors of the Italian flag.

Other than that, the hot hatch remains stock with its upgraded 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing a little over 180-horsepower, which are transferred to the front wheels via a five-speed automated manual gearbox.

The Ferrari version of the Abarth 500 also comes with a different aero package, 17-inch alloy wheels in a unique design, a more powerful Brembo brake system and suspension tweaks.

Interior upgrades include a pair of carbon fiber bucket sport seats from Sabelt, a flat-bottomed black leather steering wheel with red leather inserts, carbon trim and a new instruments specially made by Jaeger.

IAA 2011: Abarth Turns Fiat's 500 City Car into the 695 Competizione



A new version of the 500 city car was Abarth’s most important model at the 64th IAA. As you can probably tell from its name, the Abarth 695 Competizione is a hardcore version of the normal Abarth 500, and it also pays homage to the company’s race-tuned cars of the past.

The 695 Competizione, which can be considered a successor to the 2009 695 Tributo Ferrari, is powered by an upgraded version of the 1.4-liter turbocharged MultiAir engine delivering over 180-horses, according to the Italians.

The four-banger powers the front wheels via an electromechanical gearbox with two modes: the fully automatic “Street” and the manual-shifting “Track”, in which the driver changes gears only through the steering wheel-mounded paddles.

The Abarth 695 Competizione “borrows” the Tributo Ferrari's 305 mm Brembo brakes, specially calibrated dampers and dual-mode, sound and performance-enhancing exhaust.

Finally, the interior gets a roll bar in place of the rear seats, instruments by Jaeger, a navigation system with telemetry and two Sabelt sports seats up front
