That’s how exciting electric driving can be
Abarth is a name that stands for sporty performance, a bit cheeky appearance and, above all, a lot of driving pleasure. For the first time in Abarth’s history, this is now fully electric. And how! Swift as water, nimble and playful, the new Abarth 500e captivates with its youthful character. Did you think sporty and electric driving don’t go together? Then make an appointment today for the test drive of your life.
The legendary logo of Abarth features a scorpion. A rather poisonous beast and when you see the Abarth 500e in the bold Acid Green color, you immediately know that you are dealing with a combative type. Get in and feel the support of the sports seat with integrated headrest. Grab the three-spoke sports steering wheel and you immediately feel like driving. Experience the spontaneous character of the electric motor, the directness of the steering and feel how the tires stick to the road surface in a fast corner.
You always win with the Abarth 500e
A traffic light sprint childish? Maybe, but the Abarth 500e brings out the kid in you. Nothing wrong with that right? This Italian street fighter beats most competitors with ease. And as you approach the next traffic light, you release the power pedal and the braking energy generated by the engine flows back into the battery. So even then you beat the challenger with a fuel car. It gets even more fun on a winding trajectory, where you quickly leave your pursuer behind thanks to the grip when steering and the lightning-fast acceleration when exiting the corner.

The Abarth 500e in numbers
Although the Abarth 500e is mainly about emotion and seduction, the cold numbers are just as impressive. It completes the classic 0-100 km/h sprint in just 7 seconds. Release the brake, kick the power pedal to the floor and you’ll be pushed firmly into the sports seat. That is the instant power that only an electric motor can provide. So the torque of 235 Nm is immediately available and is perhaps even more important than the power of 113 kW/154 hp. The battery has a capacity of 42 kWh and can be charged with 11 kW at the regular charging station and with 85 kW at a fast charger.
The Abarth 500e can also roar
The 100 percent electric Abarth 500e has been developed by people with a 100 percent passion for sporty driving pleasure. It offers everything – and more – that you would expect from a genuine Abarth. Even with the accompanying sound, if you choose the more luxuriously equipped Turismo with its Engine Sound Generator that manages to convince even the biggest skeptics. With the standard driving mode switch you can easily choose Turismo, Scorpion Street or Scorpion Track.
