Passion, heritage, exclusivity, Italian design: all this is encapsulated in the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari. From the union of the two brands comes a limited edition which exalts Abarth's long racing tradition and enhances it with the inimitable elegance of Ferrari.

Powered by a 1.4L turbocharged T-Jet engine with 180bhp linked to an electromechanical paddle-shift gearbox; the Tributo only weighs 1,070kg meaning it quickly accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 7 seconds. The top speed is 140 mph.

The suspension and braking systems have been strengthened to cope with the extra power; 284mm Brembo discs with four-piston calipers provide the stopping power. It also has 17" Corsa Grey alloy wheels that are modelled on Ferrari rims and a variable back-pressure dual-mode sports exhaust that changes the engine's sound above 3000 rpm.
The Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is only available in red, with carbon fibre Sabelt bucket seats upholstered in leather and alcantara which are 10kg lighter than the regular seats, leather steering wheel and aluminium pedals. The car also comes with a tailored car cover, tyre pressure caps, car cleaning kit, alloy fuel filler cap, iPod holder and Ferrari badged warning triangle.

Abarth says the car has been produced because of shared values between the brands that include "a passion for performance, a racing soul, attention to detail and Italian style". It also says the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari has been developed jointly by Abarth and Ferrari technicians. The 695 Tributo Ferrari handles like no other Abarth.
