Two of the cars will be production models, while the third is a racing version of the 500 Abarth.The two production cars are the Abarth 595 Turismo and the Abarth 595 Competizione. Fiat says that the 595 Turismo targets buyers who would like a sporty model "without going to an extreme", while the 595 Competizioneis designed to appeal to those that would like something a little more aggressive.
Both models are fitted with Fiat’s 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder T-Jet engine that features Abarth's customization kit that lifts output to 160bhp and 230Nm of torque, for a 0-100km/h sprint time of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 211km/h. The 595 Turismo is equipped with an electrically-operated manual transmission with controls on the steering wheel, while the 595 Competizione comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
The Turismo comes with two-tone livery in black and red, an option first introduced on the 500 Cabriolet. The aluminum 595 logos on the rear fenders and tailgate along with the titanium-coloured 17-inch alloy wheels complete the exterior upgrades. Inside, the Turismo gets two-tone red and black leather seats and steering wheel, and aluminum pedals and trim accents.
The 595 Competizione, meanwhile, sports a special Grigio Record exterior paint finish complemented by matching-coloured 17-inch alloy wheels, yellow Brembo brake callipers and aluminum logos on the rear fenders and tailgate. The two-tone natural leather and Alcantara bucket seats from Sabelt highlight the interior while the same colour combination makes its appearance on the door panels and steering wheel rim. Fiat said that both the 595 Turismo and Competizione are also available with a variety of performance upgrades such as the sports brake and suspension kits.
Finally, the racing version of the 500 Abarth that will be on show in Bologna is the Abarth 695 "Assetto Corse", which was designed for track racing. The competition model is powered by a specially tuned 1.4-litre turbocharged four-pot with 205bhp and it comes equipped with race-spec wheels, brakes, transmission and suspension along with all of the safety equipment required by FIA regulations, including a roll-bar welded to the body.
