(from Abarth Press
Release) Bolstered by the success of the recent conversion
kits (one Abarth 500 in three is converted using the official kit),
Abarth has expanded its range by launching the world premiere of the
esseesse kits for the new Abarth 500C and Abarth Punto Evo models in
Paris. These are designed to improve performance, handling and
safety without having to sacrifice the car's low emissions and fuel
consumption.
The stand will host two
esseesse cars that perfectly illustrate the spirit of Abarth tuning,
encapsulating substance and unassuming good looks: in accordance
with brand tradition and market requirements, Abarth cars are a mix
of sporty yet elegant looks and safe driving experience, yet always
with sporty performance levels. The esseesse kit for the 500C turns
the scorpion-branded convertible into a genuine open-topped sports
car: 160 HP, maximum torque of 230 Nm, top speed of 209 km/h and
acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 7.6 seconds.
The Abarth 500C esseesse
comes with an elegant Campovolo grey and Pista grey two-tone livery
with a white chromatic liner, an element that divides and at the
same time combines the two ‘souls’ of the car: the elegance of a
cabriolet above and the out-and-out sporty performance of the
esseesse kit below. The 500C esseesse is exhibited with an original
Record Monza exhaust silencer (dual mode with variable
counterpressure) that enhances the engine sound above 4000 rpm and,
as on the Punto Evo, with an Abarth Blue&MeTM MAP satellite
navigation system with telemetrics.
These two models may be
very different but they share a single spirit, the sporting spirit
of the Abarth scorpion logo, which has proved itself capable of
igniting the passion of thousands of motorists with a taste for
challenge, performance and Italian style. In the words of the
advertising slogan “More power to your senses”, on an Abarth car all
your senses are stimulated to the maximum. The perception is further
amplified by the two kits that guarantee even more driving
performance and adrenaline: all in all, the Abarth conversion kits
represent empowerment taken to its highest levels.
