In a recent leak, Fiat appears to be collaborating with Abarth, the Italian racing and road car maker, to create an exciting new all-electric vehicle model. The development comes after the unveiling of Abarth’s first all-electric model, the 500e, at the end of 2022.
The mileage of the electric car will vary between 249 to 373 miles
The news has created a stir in the automotive industry, as the proposed Abarth 600e, expected to debut in 2025, will be a performance-centric addition to the electric car market. Olivier Francois,CEO of Fiat and Abarth, provided no specific details but hinted that an Abarth 600e is a “logical” progression, according to British publication Autocar.
The standard Fiat 600, an electric vehicle sharing the same platform as the Jeep Avenger, has a 154-horsepower motor with a 54-kWh battery. Its mileage varies from 249 to 373 miles, depending on driving conditions. Experts speculate that the Abarth version could elevate the power to 200 horsepower or even extend to 300 horsepower with an all-wheel-drive variant.
Interestingly, the potential development of the Abarth 600e could signify more than a mere performance upgrade. The car may feature design enhancements such as bespoke wheels, aggressive bumpers, and bucket seats. This includes the possibility of a speaker emitting artificial engine sounds, akin to the current Abarth 500e.
However, this information should be considered with caution as the exact specifications and features remain unconfirmed. The potential addition of an Abarth 600e to Fiat’s electric lineup certainly paints an exciting picture of the future of electric vehicles, reflecting the industry’s growing trend of merging performance with sustainability.
The anticipation around the Abarth 600e further highlights the electric vehicle industry’s constant evolution and the ongoing efforts to enhance the driving experience without relying on traditional combustion engines.
