Exterior Design: A Bold Expression of Performance and Heritage

The car's aggressive stance and aerodynamic features are inspired by legendary Abarth models like the 850 TC. The large, squared-off front bumper evokes the 850 TC's distinctive "cassettone" radiator design, while the rear spoiler draws inspiration from Carlo Abarth's innovative resin spoiler.
"The New Abarth 600e also pays homage to Carlo Abarth’s intuition who foresaw the double functionality of the open trunk, which improved, dissipating heat, performance in cooling and aerodynamics," explains the release.
Modern touches like the sharp lines and angular accents add a contemporary edge, creating a visually striking and dynamic presence on the road.

The sporty steering wheel, with its perforated leather and Alcantara inserts, provides excellent grip and control, while the 7-inch color TFT instrument cluster displays Abarth-specific graphics and information. Aluminum pedals, footrests, and floor mats further enhance the sporty ambiance.
