Abarth 595 Biposto Offers Unlimited Potential

The Abarth 595 Biposto is not a limited-edition vehicle, but it is still a special car with many unique and attractive features. The 595 Biposto is a road vehicle that has taken inspiration from many racing connections, including its dual-stage exhaust system with titanium tail-pipes from Akrapovic, a company renowned for its competition exhaust systems made for many famous racing brands.

The 595 Biposto is powered by a 1.4 T-Jet engine which offers motorists 190bhp and the capability of reaching 0-60mph in under 5.9 seconds. It claims the best weight-to-power ratio in its category and also features the best acceleration, with a top speed of 143mph.

Abarth has created a vehicle that is a combination of a street car and a race car. It is the first street-legal vehicle in the category, with a gearbox featuring dog rings with controls and disc and clutch self-locking differential, directly inspired by racing vehicles. This gives the driver the ability to change gear with such speed that use of the clutch is unnecessary.

The exterior has a muscular look and is enhanced by carbon inserts created by high-quality aesthetic design company Zender, made to specification from the Abarth Style Centre. The bodywork is coloured by Abarth's textured-effect Matt Grey paint, and the bonnet is made of aluminium. This serves to commemorate past models, and to reduce the car's overall weight. The interior features a carbon aesthetic, linking it to the exterior. The 595 Biposto can also be customised with a choice of three design kits: the 'Exterior Kit', the 'Carbon Kit' and the 'Racing Kit'. The latter includes the suit, shoes, gloves and helmet of an Abarth racing driver, and can be personalised with your initials.
