Abarth 695 Maserati Edition debuts at Mille Miglia, only 499 to be built

The new Abarth 695 Maserati Edition is making its public debut at the 2012 Mille Miglia this week and showcases the ‘glamorous car represents the bond between Abarth and Maserati.’ Heck, I didn’t even know there was a strong ‘bond between Abarth and Maserati.’

Either way, Abarth is out to make us believe that this mini Fiat 500 has enough elegance and a passion for performance and sport. With that in mind, Abarth starts off the exclusiveness with a 1.4 liter Turbo T-Jet 16v engine making 180-hp mated to a Abarth Competizione manual gearbox with steering wheel controls. 0 to 62 mph come in just under 7-seconds with a top speed of 140 mph.

The Abarth 695 Maserati Edition also gets 17-inch alloy wheels with Maserati ‘Neptune’ design, Brembo brakes, back-pressure “dual mode” exhaust, xenon headlamps, Maserati paintwork and soft top is made of gray fabric. The inside was also upgrade with some luxurious touches.

Abarth plans on making only 499 limited units.
