Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review:The reviewed car is the new Abarth 500e, which is the electric version and is equipped with Scoripionissima trim, the launch addition version. The headlights are slightly different and don't have the LED light like the standard 500e. There are black letters for the Abarth badge on the nose. The whole front bumper is redesigned. Bigger than the standard wheels, the electric car has the first set of 18-inch wheels fitted. There are unique designs on the wheels. Abarth lettering is chosen with a 3D effect, and has a lightning bolt through it to emphasize that this is an electric car. It has disc brakes unlike the standard Fiat 500e, since hot hatches needs those to stop faster, since they have regen breaking. Although it makes a starting noise on start-up, it has no exhaust pipes and is a cleaner design than the rear effect. The battery in the middle is larger and wider with this Abarth, and the 18-inch wheels with swelled arches looks muscular.
The 500e is 1.6 seconds faster in the Belocco test track than the petrol model. The interior is relatively familiar. The new seating position is much better than the previous version since the steering wheel has both rake and reach. It’s has the usual Apple car play features, but you also get unique drive modes. It has Tourismo, and Scorpion Street, in the track edition it does not soften suspension. In tourismo the responsiveness of accelerator is slower and lowers the power and torque. It makes the best for range and you can go 155-170 miles of range with it. Its fast charge is 85k and takes 35 minutes.
There is no transmission tunnel, so there is a better story space for an extra cup holder and so on. You can hide your wires in the back. It weights around 1300 kg and with the 290 kgs of battery, it’s very similar in weight to the previous model. You should have access to the full 62 miles in 7 seconds like the other petrol 695 version. It can be lowered for speed up to 60 k and the power delivery is good on it, no wheel spin.
