Fiat has just revealed the first ever EV to wear the sporty scorpion badge, the 2023 Abarth 500e, which it revealed in a very striking highlighter green/yellow color that will surely grab your attention. And thankfully it does have extra power that it can shout about, although it’s not a lot more power, not quite enough to make us wholeheartedly call it a hot hatch.
The Abarth 500e will be sold alongside the recently updated gas-burning Abarth 500, with both vehicles delivering similar performance. The new electric model gets a 38-horsepower and 15 Nm (11 pound-feet) of torque over the standard big-battery 500e, for a grand total of 155 hp and 220 Nm (162 pound-feet) of torque, enough to propel the vehicle from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7 seconds, around 2 seconds quicker than the standard 117 hp model.
