Abarth reveals first image of upcoming 600e

After having given us the 500e, Abarth has now announced that it will be unveiling a new 600e performance crossover.

The car is said to be undergoing final tests and is set to make its first public debut in Milan, Italy, where shooting is planned for its new commercial. The car is set to make its debut with a special Scorpionissima launch edition, of which only 1,949 examples will be produced.

Abarth states that the performance crossover will get a total output of 237bhp alongside a mechanical limited slip differential, the latter promising driving stability alongside the necessary handling and traction.

Also promised for the special edition car are high-performance tyres jointly developed with a supplier for Formula E, 20-inch wheels, an extensive brake system, as well as the bold Hypnotic Purple you see in the first official image of the car above.
