So let's take a look at all the key features of this new model.
Design, aggressive look
The Abarth 600e derives from the FIAT 600e, which we already know very well. Its appearance, as already mentioned at the beginning, is certainly nothing new. B-SUV A Specific body composition This makes the car more aggressive. This is not just a design choice as the aerodynamic changes are aimed at improving driving dynamics. Designers have really worked on the front and rear bumpers, spoiler and wheels.
All modifications have been studied and tested in the wind tunnel to improve the performance of the car. An electric sports B-SUV is adopted 20-inch five-spoke diamond-cut alloy wheels This allows you to see the larger braking system. The hubcap is held in place by a one-piece bolt.
The model is characterized by the electrified Scorpion logo that debuted on the Abarth 500e and can be found on various parts of the car. Additionally, compared to the Abarth 600e Turismo, the limited edition Scorpionissima features a gloss black bodykit, an exclusive side sticker and colored front brake calipers.
The Abarth 600e Turismo will be available in Acid Green, Antidote White, Shock Orange and Venom Black colors. Instead, the Scorpionissima edition will be offered in acid green and a certain hypnotic viola color.
As for the passenger compartment, the layout of the FIAT 600e is obvious, but Abarth has customized the interior to reflect the sportiness of the model. So we see a sports steering wheel in leather and Alcantara, sports seats, pedals with aluminum inserts, specific mats and a door sill with Abarth lettering. The seats of the two versions of the Abarth 600e differ slightly.

There is also a voice assistant with integrated ChatGPT, which allows you to improve communication with people.
There is a sound generator
Always talking about technology, only in the Scorpionissima version There is a sound generator The infotainment system can be managed from the home page while the vehicle is in motion. The solution we see in the Abarth 500e and recreates the classic sound of Abarth petrol engines. Abarth explains:
The sound is louder in sporty driving conditions and more pleasant at steady speeds due to the limited variation of the accelerator pedal. The sound during acceleration is enriched and deepened, so that the noise in the passenger compartment is less and more “roaring”. Also, the sound reduces above 80 km/h and continues to decrease as the speed increases, which is perfect for driving conditions.
Motor
The new Abarth 600e is running Perfo eCMP platform and developed in partnership with Stellantis Motorsport. An electric motor has a deliverable capacity 207 kW (280 hp) peak power For the Scorpionissima version and 175 kW (240 hp) For a tour. The former accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.85 seconds, the latter in 6.24 seconds. The maximum speed is 200 kmph.
The capacity of the battery pack is not specified, it should always be at 54 kWh with the FIAT 600e. As for autonomy, Abarth talks about a range of 334 km (WLTP) depending on tire equipment. There are three driving modes.
Turismo mode provides 110 kW of power for the Abarth 600e Turismo, 140 kW for the Scorpionissima and 300 Nm of torque. The maximum speed is 150 kmph. The system also offers sport calibration of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel as well as standard ESP calibration.
Then we have the Scorpion Street: 150 kW of power for the Turismo version and 170 kW for the Scorpionissima with 345 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 180 km/h; The third mode, Scorpion Track, includes an aggressive calibration of the accelerator pedal and the sporty steering and ESP systems to guarantee greater driving pleasure. With the Scorpion Track configuration, the top speed is 200 kmph.

The braking system is developed in conjunction with the Alcon, which measures 380 mm in diameter and 32 mm thick at the front. A lot of work has apparently been done to improve the dynamics of the car. For example, the Abarth 600e is equipped with a Torsen limited slip differential from JTEKT. Also, engineers increased the stiffness of the suspension and strengthened the chassis with a rear anti-roll bar, which changes the balance and increases the overall rear stiffness.
