The Abarth 500, 595 and 695 family takes the cheeky Fiat 500 city car and injects it with genuine motorsport attitude. Compact dimensions, sharp steering and a turbocharged 1.4-litre T-Jet engine make these pocket rockets ideal for urban driving while still delivering entertaining weekend performance. The 500 introduced many Australian drivers to modern Abarth character, blending retro styling with a rorty exhaust note, firm suspension and unmistakable scorpion badging.

The 595 builds on that formula with higher outputs, sportier trim levels and popular upgrades such as Koni dampers, Brembo brakes on selected variants, performance seats and dual-mode Record Monza exhaust systems. The 695 sits at the top of the range, often appearing in limited editions with special wheels, carbon accents, uprated brakes and collectible detailing. Some 695 models celebrate Abarth racing history, including links to Carlo Abarth, whose tuned Fiats embarrassed larger cars in European hill climbs and circuit racing.

For Automotive Superstore customers, the Abarth 500, 595 and 695 are rewarding cars to personalise and maintain. Quality oils, filters, brake pads, spark plugs, suspension components, batteries, detailing products and accessories help keep these high-strung hatchbacks feeling crisp. Their cult following is strong because they mix Italian flair, everyday usability and tuning potential in a tiny package. Few small cars deliver as much personality per kilometre.
