Abarth Australia has confirmed that the first full-electric models in Abarth history will be priced will be under the FBT Exemption providing another EV option for novated lease new car buyers.
The limited edition Scorpionissima trim is priced at $60,500 plus on-roads and will arrive later in 2023. This will be followed in 2024, with a Turismo trim priced at $58,900 plus on-roads.
Combining performance, electric power, style and a new powerful sound, the new Scorpion turns advanced technology into adrenaline, and sustainability into performance.
Electric is the perfect technology to enhance the driving experience by bringing better acceleration, greater balance, better handling, more stability, and better road holding.
Abarth 500e debuts two distinct all new exterior colours to the Abarth line-up: Acid Green & Poison Blue. The eye-catching exterior is enriched with dedicated 18” diamond-cut titanium grey alloy wheels which bring the driver closer to the road with their holding performance and aggressive and sharp design.
Inside, sportiness and style find their fullest expression with its premium Alcantara interior, a racing material that provides a dark sporty look and fine touch feeling. The unique sport seats with integrated headrest bring the Acid-Green Scorpion – lasered on the Alcantara – inside the cabin and the Acid Green & Poison Blue double stitching provide visual continuity from the seats to the door panels.
Scorpionissima customers can rest assured they will stand out from the crowd, available exclusively in Acid Green or Poison Blue with unique ‘Abarth’ decals applied to the side profile of the vehicle (Acid Green paired with black “Abarth” decals, and Poison Blue paired with white “Abarth” decals).
Following Scorpionissima, Abarth 500e will be available in a Turismo, offering great performance, unique style and the original Abarth sound. Customers can choose among five thrilling colours: Antidote White, Venom Black, Adrenaline Red, plus the brand-new Acid Green and Poison Blue, which make the Abarth 500e stand out from the crowd.
Equipped with a 42-kWh battery coupled with a powerful e-motor, the Abarth 500e combines the performance of the Scorpion with the innovation of electric mobility. The electric architecture has an improved weight distribution, better torque and a wider wheelbase, creating an Abarth that is more responsive, faster and arguably more enjoyable than its petrol-powered counterpart.
With a battery range up to 252km, and a supporting fast charging of up to 85kw in direct current (DC), the Abarth 500e ensures plenty of driving excitement. It takes less than 5 minutes to build up sufficient energy reserve for daily mileage requirements (around 40 km) and the fast charge reaches 80% of the range in only 35 minutes.
Abarth’s signature and unmistakable “roar” can be heard thanks to the Abarth Sound Generator that accompanies every trip with the 500e. This standard feature on the model highlights the vehicle’s performance, reproducing the sound of an Abarth petrol engine inspired by the famous Record Monza exhaust.
