This tuned and tweaked version of Fiat’s iconic electric 500 is a short-range rocket for EV driving enthusiasts
, like certain people, drinks or the more exuberant schools of design. Spirited, buzzy, eager, the Abarth sub-brand managed to capably parlay the qualities of this former race car specialist into Fiat’s diminutive, justly celebrated city car.
Abarth has now tackled the latter, the first time the company has ever created an all-electric car. In doing so, it has embraced the benefits of EV power – instant acceleration and torque – and attempted to overcome what might be considered the downsides. Abarth claims to have spent two years and 6,000 hours perfecting this function, recording an Abarth petrol engine in various stages of idle and load and then splicing it all together digitally to create an accurate reproduction of what the car would have sounded like had it retained an internal combustion engine. The overall effect is… odd.
