Abarth CEO Olivier François said, “A year and a half ago, I said making an Abarth version of the electric 500 shouldn’t be this hard. I like the comfort and performance of electric vehicles. That’s why we started working on the electric Abarth version of the Fiat 500 model. We want to offer car enthusiasts a true Abarth experience. Therefore, we will change the details such as transmission, brakes and design in the new model.” said.
Stating that the vehicle is in the final test phase before official approval, François stated that a great model awaits car enthusiasts. François also underlined that they will consider the suggestions of the Abarth fan base while developing future models.
