HUGH SPEC+BEST COLOUR COMBO+The new, facelifted 595 Competizione has been updated with the current Fiat 500’s coloured centre rear lights and some new, more sculpted bumpers. But the 595 still retains the 500’s cute looks and diminutive proportions, which are a huge contrast to the big, aggressive noise it makes. It’s in the details where the 595 discovers its identity, though. Everything within the 595 has been finished exquisitely. The parcel shelf is covered in leather with ‘Competizione’ embroidered onto it, there’s an abundance of carbon fibre (including carbon backed Sabelt seats), there are scorpion badges everywhere, Abarth is written large in the front grill and there’s a machined aluminium plug to replace the black plastic aerial.This new Competizione is equipped with a mechanical, limited-slip differential from the 695 Biposto. That signals just how focused the 595 Competizione is, and when you start to explore the Abarth’s spec sheet it’s equally as impressive: Koni FSD dampers and four piston Brembo brakes with 305mm drilled and vented discs. The 595 has the turbocharged, 1.4-litre, four cylinder engine found in every Abarth. In the 595 Competizione it puts out 178bhp which is good for a 0-62mph time of 6.7sec.The engine seems delightfully unhinged too, exhibiting all the traits that made old-school turbos so exciting. Wind it up and it lurches forwards on waves of boost. The boisterous noise adds to the excitement, creating some real theatre when you rev the little Abarth to the red line. It’s also quite vocal as it descends through the revs too, popping and banging like a rally car with anti lag. This sort of behavior – and the crackles when you change gear – can feel too juvenile in many cars, but it seems as correct on the fun-filled Abarth as inappropriate as it does when on a Jaguar or Mercedes. 17in Alloy Wheels - Competizione,5in Touchscreen Radio with Bluetooth - USB - DAB,Abarth Side Stripe and Door Mirrors - Anthracite,Alcantara Wrapped Metre Hood,Anthracite Finishing,Anthracite Front and Rear Bumper Inserts,Automatic Climate Control,BMC High Performance Air Filter,Back Door 595 Competizione Logo,Dark Tinted Rear Quarter Windows,EBD - Electronic Brakeforce Distribution,Electronic Stability Control-ASR-Hill Holder,Front Brembo Brakes,Front Fog Lights,Front Koni Suspension,Koni Front and Rear Shock Absorbers,Parking Sensors - Rear,Poly-Elliptical Headlights,Racing Aluminium Pedals and Gear Knob,Racing Cockpit Display,Satin Chrome Finishing for All Interior Details,Split Folding 50:50 Rear Seat,Sport Button,TFT Instrument Cluster,TPMS - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System,TTC - Torque Transfer Control,Uconnect Access Via Mobile,17in Alloy Wheels - Esseesse Matt Black,7in Touchscreen Radio with NAV - BT - USB - DAB,Apple Carplay - Android Auto,Yellow Brembo Brake Calipers,Abarth Sports Leather - Red,Bi-Xenon Headlights,Bumper Inserts - Black,17in Alloy Wheels - Formula - Matt Black Finish
