Rumors that Fiat was working on a hot Abarth version of the new 500e have surfaced several times since the all-new electric model was unveiled and they were eventually officially confirmed. Now we have photos of a possible prototype that may look unassuming, but it is actually believed to be an actual real test vehicle, even though aside from the Alfa Romeo Mito rims, it looks bone stock.
However, according to Walter Vayr who posted these photos on Facebook, it had one telltale piece of paper in its right rear side window indicating that it was a “332 BEV Abarth M 001.” This seems to point to the fact that this is the real deal, and since it is designated 001, it is speculated that it could actually be the first prototype of the upcoming hot electric 500.
