Abarth is one of Stellantis’ niche companies, which will continue making go-fast versions of existing Fiat products. Last summer, the firm unveiled the Abarth F595 as a hardcore hot hatch based on the Fiat 500 with a combustion engine. According to a new report, the brand’s first all-electric model will be launched next year as a more powerful and sportier alternative to the zero-emissions Fiat 500e.
Autocar has a new article detailing Abarth’s first attempt at creating a hot EV hatch and the publication claims the first official details will be released shortly before the vehicle’s official launch. Unofficially, the report says the car will be able to achieve a 0-62 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) acceleration in about 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 100 mph (160 kph). These will be substantial improvements over the stock 500e’s 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) time of 9.0 seconds and 93 mph (150 kph) of top speed.
