Introducing the Electrifying Abarth 600e 

Abarth is turning up the heat in the EV world with the new Abarth 600e, a high-performance hot hatch that combines its racing heritage with electrification. Billed as the most powerful Abarth yet, it offers two versions: the standard 600e with 240 HP and the exclusive Scorpionissima, delivering an impressive 280 HP and just 1,949 units available. With acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in as little as 5.9 seconds and a max speed of 124 mph, this model is packed with the kind of thrills Abarth fans love—only this time, they’re electric

The Abarth 600e’s bold exterior is crafted for performance. With aggressive lines, a low-slung “shark nose” bumper, and aerodynamic enhancements like an aero spoiler and rear diffuser, this EV is as functional as it is fierce. Available in vibrant colors like Acid Green and Hypnotic Purple, the 600e cuts an impressive silhouette, especially on its striking 20-inch alloy wheels. The limited-edition Scorpionissima adds even more racing flair with unique decals and black accents.

Excited? UK orders for the Abarth 600e open in mid-November, starting at £36,975. To maximize your at-home EV experience, pairing the Abarth 600e with a Lemac Power home charger ensures reliable, efficient charging, while the Utility Warehouse EV tariff makes it even more affordable to keep your Scorpion charged and ready. With only a limited number of Scorpionissima units available, this hot hatch is poised to be a hit with fans of Abarth's electrifying evolution. Get ready to experience the ultimate fusion of speed, style, and sustainability!

Inside, the Abarth 600e is a sports car dream come true. The cabin is designed with racing in mind, featuring supportive Sabelt seats that wrap you in comfort and hold you tight through every turn. The Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel maximizes grip for precision driving, and high-end touches like aluminium pedals and a 10.25-inch infotainment system make every drive feel like a lap on the track. The Scorpionissima edition even includes a unique sound generator, providing an engine-like experience that complements its powerful electric motor.

Underneath its striking looks, the Abarth 600e packs serious power with three selectable driving modes, ranging from Turismo for smooth efficiency to Scorpion Track for maximum performance. With up to 345 Nm of torque, the Scorpionissima is always ready for action, while the standard model offers a still-impressive 207-mile range (WLTP combined). A battery cooling system keeps performance high, even under pressure, and advanced features like a limited-slip differential make cornering feel sharp and controlled.
