The Abarth 600e, derived from Fiat's model of the same name, marks a significant step up from its cousin, the Abarth 500e. While both models share a foundation, the 600e aligns more closely with Abarth’s performance ethos, positioning it as a notable contender in the electric hatchback segment.
As you might expect, the small body of the 600e Abarth packs a 280hp motor, which will get you to 60mph in a little over 5.8 seconds – on to a top speed of 124mph. However, even with eco-tyres and alight foot in perfect conditions – you won't get more than 207 miles range (WLTP). And there's your only drawback.The brand itself has a long and illustrious history. Carlo Abarth was born in Vienna, but fell in love with Italy at an early age and was naturalised. In 1927, he joined a coachwork company called Castagna – designing motorbike and bicycle chassis. At the same time, we started racing bikes and won his first race in 1928.
While continuing to work as an engineer, he won the European Championship five times – until a serious accident forced him to retire. In 1933, he designed a sidecar for a motorbike and in 1934, created a bike package that could beat the Orient Express over an 810 mile journey. In order to set some of his speed records, Abarth became famous for losing 30kg on a ‘largely only eating apples' diet.
