let me guess......
hmmmmmm......
giallo modena per chance?

 

[GransportFan1]

no i would like grey, no only joking yellow of course.

 

[ENZ525]

Looks quite tasty...but at nearly 30k...nah....
or do I have the pricing wrong?

 

[GransportFan1]

nope Enz, you are correct i am afraid, and Yellow, Grey and Blue are very exclusive compared to Red, got the production figures of abarthforum

Scuderia Red: 1,199
Blu Abu Dhabi (Blue): 99
Grigio Titanio (Grey): 99
Giallo Modena (Yellow): 299

oh and the prices,

Scuderia Red: €35,500
Blu Abu Dhabi (Blue): €37,500
Grigio Titanio (Grey): €37,500
Giallo Modena (Yellow): €36,500

Yellow does look nice, 2nd most popular colour...
I would not have the red...
like the grey as well.

 

[GransportFan1]

I wouldn't go for Red, Yellow would be first followed by Abu Dhabi Blue.


i was looking through the thread about this car on abarth forum, one guy reckons if you get a Blue or Grey one, in 10 years time if it is a mint example it will fetch it's list price, i find that hard to believe.

 

[ENZ525]

So those numbers Adam, they are limited production runs?
ie, there will only be 99 grey ones, etc...

 

[GransportFan1]

yep they are but i dont see the significance in making 1696 units, you think they would make a round number such as 1500 or 2000, i can only suspect they have all been pre sold and those are the numbers of the cars so Red is clearly the most popular and only 99 people worldwide want a grey one. There are 152 examples in total hitting the U.K, thought there would be more but then again, who wants to spend 35K on a Fiat 500.

 

[ENZ525]

Not sure why 1696 either...

 

[GransportFan1]

i reckon they may have intended to make more such as 2000 but obviously people were not prepared to pay 35K for one.

Get an abarth At 10k, its a badge your paying for

 

[Andyk]

Agree Dem...it looks lovely...saw one at Paris and I wanted one as well Adam but not at 36k....Never seen any road tests either....I take it there are no engine mods on the car?

 

[GransportFan1]

it is modified slightly, the Abarth SS puts out 160 bhp, the Tributo is 180 bhp, you are paying for the badge, you can pick up a nice Abarth SS for about 13K now.

 

[ENZ525]

Good advice, get the abarth...
then, take it to Forge Motorsport (forgemotorsport.co.uk)...good article in this months AI...
Article is called How to help yourself to more power than an Abarth 500 Esseesse for a fraction of the price

 

[GransportFan1]

I would like 2 Abarths, 1 would be totally stripped out, power up to about 220 bhp and the other would be just a normal Abarth SS but in mint condition to take to shows and events.

 

[GransportFan1]

if your going to get a 695, it has to be this one.

Do as Enzo has said...and hey if you are paying for the badge on the other ne you could always buy the badge and stick on the car...

no you would look a ***, i hate it when people try and make out their car is better than what it is, eg, bmw 318's with an M3 badge on them.

A company called DMS do abarth chips to 190bhp at 2k.....
