Orders have opened in the UK for the New Abarth 600e, the most powerful Abarth ever with 280 HP and a 0 to 62 mph acceleration time of 5.85 seconds. The model is the result of a joint project between Abarth and Stellantis Motorsport engineers which sets a whole new standard for electric hot hatch cars. It will arrive to Stellantis &You UK showrooms in March 2025.
Abarth 600e is built on the Perfo eCMP, a state-of-the-art sport BEV platform, and is designed to deliver extraordinary driving experience and performance.Its captivating personality comes via a muscular exterior and large footprint, expansive wheels, aerodynamic rear spoiler, and aggressive, sporty interiors. Racing experts Michelin, Sabelt, JTEKT, and Alcon, Abarth studied and tested the most suitable solutions to obtain the perfect combination for the most powerful Abarth ever. Two versions of Abarth 600e will be available: Abarth 600e and the Scorpionissima model, which will be limited to just 1,949 units, in recognition of the founding year of Abarth.
Racing Excellence: Abarth and Stellantis Motorsport Expertise
As mentioned, the New Abarth 600e has been developed with a range of motorsport experts. Abarth and Michelin began to collaborate at the outset of the project, in 2021. Alongside sportiness, attention was given to tyre safety, lifespan, and energy performance. With an optimised rubber compound and dedicated architecture, the MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV tyres are designed to respond to the 280 HP provided by the Abarth 600e, while offering excellent grip in all conditions.
The brakes were designed with Alcon and come from the world of racing. A bigger surface, with monobloc calliper with four pistons, provides resistance to fading and optimises heat dissipation. The speed and braking performance of the car is guaranteed to delight the Abarth community. The Scorpion brand’s experts had as an objective of more power and stability while braking and achieved this through Alcon 380 mm brakes and callipers adapted for the car.
The Abarth 600e’s exteriors
Abarth focused on four elements in particular: front and rear bumpers, spoiler, and wheels. On the front, the engineers and designers stretched the silhouette, highlighting the so-called “shark nose”, improving aerodynamic performance and thus, providing the specific bumper with a characteristic volume and including three-dimensional Abarth inscription. The front look is enhanced further with a lowered setup and an enlarged track, giving an additional 30mm on the front and an additional 25mm on the back. Far from being merely aesthetic, the strongly squared shapes of the aero spoiler and the extractor in the bumper were studied and tested in a wind tunnel to improve performance. The 20-inch diamond-alloy wheels are majestic and present an eye-catching look: the 5-spoke alloy wheels are designed to reclaim the stylised graphics of the scorpion’s stinger and provide a view of the brakes and painted callipers.
The overall effect gives the car a strong personality and ensures a bold impact.
Defining the vehicle’s aggressiveness, the black mirror caps and handles contrast with the colours of the two models: the Abarth 600e will come in the bold, exciting Acid Green, Antidote White, Shock Orange, and Venom Black; meanwhile, the Scorpionissima limited edition will be available in Acid Green and the exclusive Hypnotic Purple (both paints included in OTR price). The Abarth’s colour names reference the sting of a Scorpion.
Impactful design on the interiors
The exteriors of the New Abarth 600e provide just a glimpse of the new electric model’s appeal, as the interiors complete the design that was sought after by Abarth’s design team. The sports steering wheel with leather and Alcantara inserts, is stylish and maximises grip. The interior theme creates a dark environment, with black A, B, and C pillars, headliner, overhead, and trims. However, the dark trims are brought to life by coloured detail such as the seams or the Scorpion on the steering wheel. The New Abarth 600e’s uniqueness is achieved by specific choices such as dedicated seats, aluminium pedals, footrest, and floor mats. However, thanks to privacy glass a mysterious and dark spirit is maintained. The internal look is also enriched by additional cool bonus features like the Abarth kick plate, the 7-inch cluster colour TFT with specific Abarth graphics, the tunnel pad cover—which is only available on the Scorpionissima limited edition—and the dashboard fascia—painted black on the Abarth 600e and matt black with its gloss black serigraphy for the Scorpionissima.
In the interiors, the two Abarth 600e versions’ seats slightly differ, with two different configurations that reflect the spirit of each version. Covered with the Scorpionflage, a distinctive and exclusive pattern created with the scorpion icon, the Scorpionissima model features more aggressive, racing Sabelt seats in Alcantara with an integrated headrest, perforated to express lightness and sport; meanwhile, the Abarth 600e’s Sabelt seats come with an integrated headrest fabric with striped design. Additionally, the Scorpionissima limited edition features heated seats.
