In keeping with Abarth’s philosophy of “Making the ordinary Extraordinary”, Abarth have taken a convertible car and made it its very own. The design and development of the car has seen important changes to both its appearance and engineering.
The convertible with the Scorpion logo allows customers to experience wind in the hair, sun on the face motoring, with the unmistakeable Abarth soundtrack from its of 1.4 16v Turbo 140 bhp engine.
The lengthened dynamic spoiler reminds the observer that the Abarth 500C is first and foremost a sports car. As well as accentuating the car’s sporty look, the spoiler also ensures a better CZ value and more effective air flow distribution.
Precise aerodynamics have made it possible to minimise turbulence when driving with the hood down, leaving occupants free to sit back and enjoy the road ahead and the unmistakable Abarth Soundtrack
With the hood up, the Abarth 500C delivers the sort of performance a hard-top car would be proud of. The electric hood opens by sliding along lateral guides, meaning that the car can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
The electric hood has a very wonderfully elegant opening mechanism, which makes use of impressive technical solutions, such as the glass rear window and the third brake light incorporated into the spoiler.
In addition to the classic Abarth body colours, the Abarth 500C also offers two new and original Bi-Colour paint schemes. For those who like strong contrasts, Scorpione Black above is paired with Gara White below; while for those who prefer something a little more elegant, there is Pista Grey above, paired with Campovolo Grey below.
For both these colour combinations, an optional Red Liner Pack (opt 5YR) is also available. This includes red brake callipers to go with the alloy wheels with red hubcaps, and a red ‘liner’ running along the length of the exterior and along the bottom of the central section of the dashboard, an element that simultaneously divides and unites the car’s twin souls: the performance of a genuine sports car ‘below’, with the attraction of a cabriolet ‘above’.
The look of the Abarth 500C is further enhanced by the choice of alloy wheels. The 16” wheels come as standard, while the 17” versions are available as an optional. The 17” wheels come in two style variants: a diamond-finish alloy wheel painted white, with a 5-petal design (opt 55E), and a diamond-finish alloy wheel with an anthracite background, with a 5-spoke design (opt 5FB).
