Abarth presented its new model, the 600e, a larger electric model with more space on boardwhich is capable of satisfying the needs of a small family in terms of interior volume. but yours The main asset lies in the mechanics.especially because it is electric, and offers the possibility of using one of two engines, the first with 240 HP and the second, the most powerful, with 280 HP, which places it at the level of the best among those that measure less than 4.2 meters in length.
Until now, Abarth, as a manufacturer of sports vehicles, was represented in the market by the 500, a small model 3,660 m long, 1,627 m wide and a wheelbase of just 2,300 m, much smaller than the new Abarth. 600, which advertises. a length of 4,189 m, a width of 1,808 m and a wheelbase of 2,559 m. This means An additional 52.9 cm in length, 18.1 cm in width and a wheelbase, which mainly determines the legroom of those sitting behind, of an additional 25.9 cmmaking the Abarth 600 a substantially larger and more spacious vehicle than the small 500 used to relaunch Fiat’s sports brand.
If the Abarth 500e has a 155 HP engine, powered by a 42.2 kWh gross battery (37.8 kWh useful), rechargeable at 85 kW in direct current (DC) and 11 kW in alternating current (AC), the Abarth 600e enjoys a bigger batterytypical of the most recent models of the Stellantis group with platforms derived from models with a combustion engine, that is, with 54 gross kWh and 50.8 kWh useful capacity. This accumulator is rechargeable at 100 kW in DCor 11 kW in AC, which reduces the time needed for charging.
To power the Abarth 600e, the Italian manufacturer mounts two engines, with different power levels. The most affordable version of the Abarth 600e, called Turismo, has a 240 HP enginecapable of taking the model to 200 km/h, after passing 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. All this with a consumption of 19 kWh/100 km and a Range, according to the WLTP method, 317 km.
The most powerful Abarth 600e has a different version of the same engine, but here with an impressive 280 HP. With this power, the 600e, called Scorpionissima, offers the driver 40 HP more than the most affordable version and the same torque of 345 Nm. The maximum speed remains at 200 km/h, but the Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is reduced to 5.85 seconds. The consumption approved in WLTP remains at 19 kWh/100 km, a relatively high value, but identical to that of the 240 HP version, which means that the The autonomy remains at 317 km.according to the European method.
The Scorpionissima version of the 600e, the most powerful of the Abarth, should obviously be the most desired, but customers will have to fight to access one of the 1949 units that will be manufactured. This tribute to the year Abarth was founded gives rise to a model that will begin to be delivered in Portugal at the beginning of 2025 for 49,000 euros, while the Turismo version, with 240 HP, is proposed for 45,000 euros.
