Abarth

Abarth is Fiat's performance brand, focused on small cars with sharper styling, firmer suspension and a louder personality than the mainstream models they are based on. In Australia it remains a niche choice, with the current range centred on the electric Abarth 500e and petrol Abarth 695, while older 595, 595C, 695C and 124 pages remain useful for used-car research.
