A celebration is underway at the Heritage Hub, in Turin, for an important occasion: Abarth celebrates its 75th birthday this year, and a dedicated exhibition has been designed which will display historical vehicles of the Scorpion brand alongside more recent releases. Among the newest models, the Abarth 695 75° Anniversario, created precisely for this anniversary and available in just 1,368 units, will be under the spotlight at the exhibition.
As an addition to what is already a legendary collection, that has made the Scorpion brand recognised all over the world for its excellence in design and performance, the new Abarth 695 75° Anniversario stands out both for its appealing looks and its high performance.
Its black livery contrasts with a golden Abarth logo on both sides of the vehicle, a matching golden scorpion adorns the roof and an exclusive set of gold coloured 17-inch alloy wheels complete a simple yet refined appearance. On the interior, Sabelt carbon seats and Alcantara black dashboard and inserts provide the car with a sporty aesthetic, its uniqueness enhanced by images of a revised 75° logo based upon the historic model.
The Abarth 695 75° Anniversario is equipped with the well-known 1.4 T-Jet engine, the number of units made available for sale of the vehicle being based on the engine capacity of 1,368cc. Supercharged with a Garret GT 1446 turbocharger, which allows for a power of 180 HP and a torque of 250 Nm at 3,000 rpm, the engine
offers an excellent performance, ensuring an acceleration from 0 to 62mph of just 6.7 seconds and a maximum speed of 139mph. Finally, the car is equipped with high-performing braking system with 305x28mm ventilated and perforated discs, Record Monza exhaust and Koni FSD shock absorbers on both axles.
The driving experience is enriched by a high level of connectivity thanks to Mopar Connect features and Carplay and Android Auto connectivity. Automatic air conditioning, Audio Beats and Navigation systems are also included, as well as DAB Radio and a 7” TFT digital display.
At the exhibition in Turin, the achievements of Abarth and its numerous creations will be displayed for enthusiasts to admire over the next three months. More than 35 models of the brand will be shown and will retrace Abarth’s history and recall its major results, starting from historical models – for instance, the first 500 tuned by Carlo Abarth and that stood out in 1958 on the Monza circuit; or the famous 1960s’ Abarth 1000 – and arriving to more recent products, the Abarth 695 75° Anniversario and the New Abarth 500e with a Poison Blue livery. Lastly, a special guest, the Abarth Classiche 1300 OT presented in a 1:3 scale model, a unique edition that, within Heritage’s “Reloaded by Creators” project, offers to the enthusiasts the opportunity to own a contemporary reinterpretation of one of the most iconic cars from the 1960s.
The exhibition is part of the Heritage project, whose aim is to preserve the importance and enhance the visibility of a precious history. It is open from today for three months and can be accessed with the purchase of a classic guided visit at the museum in via Plava in Turin. Further information, bookings, and purchases are available at the following link.
An immersive, remarkable experience awaits those who visit, capturing the history of Abarth and evoking the excitement for what it is to come in the exciting future of the Scorpion brand.
