214 Horsepower Fiat Abarth by Alpha-N Performance
Fiat unveiled the facelifted 500 back in July last year and Abarth is just about ready to come out with its revised model as well judging from what we saw in a recent batch of spy shots. Until that happens, Alpha-N Performance has several performance kits to offer for the current Abarth 500 family and also for the regular Fiat 500 models.
The EVOX package costs €699 and boosts the Abarth 500 from 140 hp and 206 Nm to 170 hp and 238 Nm while the 595 Turismo is taken from 160 hp and 230 Nm to 199 hp and 239 Nm. The beefier 595 Competizione is also upgraded from the series 180 hp and 250 Nm to 201 hp and 296 Nm.
As for the range-topping Abarth 695 Biposto, Alpha-N Performance has massaged the turbocharged 1.4-liter engine (shared with the others) to deliver 214 hp and 296 Nm, up from the standard 190 hp and 250 Nm. The tuner doesn’t say how fast the 695 is now, but we remind you the standard model sprints to 62 mph (100 kph) in 5.9 seconds and tops out at 143 mph (230 kph).
Besides the power upgrade, Alpha-N Performance has a sport exhaust system installed on this 695 Biposto which also features a KW Variant 1 coilover suspension and 17-inch OZ Racing Ultraleggera alloys with 205/40 ZR17 tires.
