The Abarth 500C, 595C and 695C bring Italian hot hatch attitude to an open-air city car package, blending compact Fiat 500 proportions with scorpion-badged performance upgrades. The 500C introduced the formula with a turbocharged 1.4 litre engine, sporty suspension, sharper brakes and a roll-back fabric roof that lets in the soundtrack without sacrificing the car’s cheeky retro shape. For owners shopping at Automotive Superstore, it is a rewarding platform for quality service parts, upgraded filters, performance brake pads, suspension components, exhaust accessories and detailing products that help keep the car feeling lively and looking sharp.

The 595C turns up the heat with stronger engine tunes, more aggressive styling, selectable driving modes and, in many variants, characterful Record Monza exhaust notes that made the little Abarth sound far larger than its footprint suggests. The flagship 695C pushes the concept further with limited editions, premium trims, higher output engines, uprated braking packages and motorsport-inspired details. Abarth’s scorpion badge dates back to Carlo Abarth, an Austrian-born engineer who built a reputation in Italy for making small cars embarrass bigger ones on road and track. That spirit is exactly why these cabriolet Abarths have a cult following: they are fashionable enough for café strips, nimble enough for tight urban streets, and entertaining enough for weekend drives. With the right parts and accessories, each model can be maintained, personalised and enjoyed as a tiny performance icon.
