Beirut: The Fiat Abarth 695 "Tributo Ferrari" has finally made its way to Lebanon, exclusively at Saad and Trad. This new "performance" version of the Abarth 500 confirms the link between Abarth and Ferrari based on shared values that include a passion for performance, a racing soul, and attention to detail in Italian style.
After making its world debut at Frankfurt, this magnificent car marks its entrance to the Lebanese market, where only a lucky few will get to be the trendy owners of one of the 1000 limited edition Abarth 695 "Tributo Ferrari" in the world.
A truly remarkable vehicle that not only enables Abarth to extend its range by entering into the luxury sports car market, but also offers Ferrari customers a small but exciting small car for all their mobility needs, including practical urban mobility.
The new Abarth 695 "Tributo Ferrari" has a 1.4 Turbo T-Jet 16v engine, tuned to develop over 180 HP. This is combined with an MTA (Manual Transmission Automated) electromechanical gearbox with race-inspired paddle gearshift that makes full use of the engine's performance by reducing gearshift times.
To improve acceleration, the car is fitted with performance tires on 17'' alloy wheels featuring a design inspired by Ferrari wheels. The suspension and braking systems have also been strengthened to cope with the extra power.
On the outside, the car is finished in Scuderia Red, with carbon fiber door mirrors and with details like the wheels and rear air intakes in Racing Grey. This new Abarth is equipped with Xenon headlights with dipped and main beam functions for improved light emission and excellent efficiency under all weather conditions.
The black leather steering wheel is characterized by red leather inserts and a tricolor hub on which the MTA gearshift paddles are mounted, while the instrument panel is specially made by Jaeger, and inspired by typical Ferrari instrumentation. Attention to detail has gone into the floor too: the foot wells are covered entirely in non-slip aluminum and the racing pedals are personalized with the Scorpion logo.
A car that will blow your mind, from the inside out... in limited quantity!
