, which can charge at the same peak rate of 85 kW, enough to put 80 percent back into the battery in 35 minutes; a quick five-minute charge will add 40 km of extra range. So far the manufacturer has not announced this model’s range, but it will be slightly lower than the Fiat 500e, given the extra power on tap and the more aggressive tires.
Just like with the gas-burning Abarth 500, the manufacturer has given the new electric model more aggressive front and rear bumpers, with larger side skirts and unique 18-inch wheels. The vehicle in the gallery is finished in one of the two available colors, which is called Acid Green, with buyers also able to specify a color called Poison Blue.
All Abarth 500e hardtops get a standard glass roof and tinted rear windows, while the available convertible model comes with a special black soft top that has an integrated rear spoiler. Both versions get the same stylized scorpion logo, but with a lightning bolt shooting through the middle to symbolize the fact that they run on electrons.
The sporty makeover continues inside, where the Abarth model gets a flat-bottom, part-Alcantara-covered steering wheel with the same new style scorpion logo. The top of the dashboard is covered in the same suede-like material and the seats are be sportier too, with Abarth branding, integrated headrests and additional side support.
The limited edition launch model called Abarth 500e Scorpionissima will come very well equipped, with automatic LED headlights, keyless entry and start, wireless charger, premium JBL sound system, 360-degree around-view camera system and automatic climate control. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on the Abarth too, as are safety features like traffic sign recognition, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive speed assistant and cruise control, drowsiness detector and blind spot warning.
