The most Abarth of all Abarths: The Abarth '695 biposto'

10 Mar 2014|2,120 views

Breathtaking style for an 'essential' two-seater dedicated to performance, the Abarth 695 biposto is certainly a 'special' car.

Abarth has designed a 'Racing Kit' with accessories that derive directly from the world of racing, like the four-point seat belt attached to the seats with carbon shell

It's the first time that a 'street legal' car, currently in its category, is offered with a gearbox featuring dog rings with controls and disc and clutch self-locking differential derived from racing, making upwards gear changes so rapid that expert drivers don't need to use the clutch.

The driver interface is a genuine work of art: an all-aluminium turret with H-configuration gear selection, worthy of a true supercar. This is unique, exclusive content, created from the racing car transmission expertise of Bacci Romano, suited to expert drivers and offered as an alternative to the five-speed manual gearbox, teamed with 190bhp for the first time.

Pressing the SPORT button on the dashboard completely opens the exhaust valve, contributing to improved performance and enhancing the car with a powerful, unmistakable sound.

Everything about the Abarth '695 biposto' talks racing. The bodywork is characterised by a brand-new textured-effect Matt Grey colour, as if the car was created straight from the road, and further enhanced by titanium finishes for the front bonnet trim, door handles and tailgate and rear handle. The metal, known for its resistance, also characterises the hub caps, wheel bolts and water, oil and fuel caps.

The same is true of the Abarth Corsa by Sabelt seats with carbon shell, with upholstery comprising electro-welded Alcantara and titanium-coloured leather with brand-new colours and finishes for an Abarth. The steering wheel is marked by the same colours. Finally, the door handle and oddment net enhance the front door panel and lend the final, emphatic touch to the racing feel of the interior.

A perfect fusion that shows what it's made of starting with the exhilarating performance: with a weight of just 997kg and the 1.4 T-Jet engine, brought to 190bhp for the first time on a road-going car, the Abarth '695 biposto' is the car with the best weight-to-power ratio (5.2kg/bhp) and the best acceleration (0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds) in the category, reaching a top speed of 230km/h.
