Detailed analysis of the Abarth 500e Scorpionissima · 155 CV (2023)
General description
The Abarth 500e represents a before and after in the history of the scorpion. It is the bold and electrifying answer to a question that was in the air: can an Abarth be electric and maintain its soul? This Scorpionissima version, a launch edition loaded with exclusivity, not only accepts the challenge but redefines it, promising a new era of pure fun and performance, now in a silence that roars in a different way.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the 500e is to discover a new dimension of the Abarth venom. The response is instantaneous, a lash of 235 Nm that sticks you to the seat and catapults you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7 seconds. It's a feline agility, an ability to weave through the city and devour corners with addictive precision, thanks to a well-tuned chassis and a low center of gravity. And for the nostalgic, Abarth has created a sound generator that emulates the roar of its gasoline siblings, a sound experience that, although artificial, seeks to connect the heart with the new electric era.
Design and aesthetics
Visually, the Abarth 500e is a statement of intent. It's not just any electric Fiat 500; it's an urban beast dressed for the occasion. Its lowered and widened body is adorned with specific bumpers, prominent side skirts, and a rear diffuser that screams sportiness. The 18-inch wheels fill the wheel arches with spectacular forcefulness, while the scorpion logos and contrasting details complete an ensemble that radiates character and exclusivity from every pore. It's a design that doesn't ask for permission; it simply imposes its presence.
Technology and features
Under its pocket rocket skin lies advanced electric technology. Its 155 HP engine is powered by a 42.2 kWh battery, offering a WLTP range of 250 kilometers, ideal for squeezing the most out of the city and nearby getaways. The fast-charging capability of up to 85 kW in direct current is a great ally, allowing you to recover from 10 to 80% of the battery in about 35 minutes. Inside, the Uconnect infotainment system with a 10.25-inch screen and a specific Abarth digital instrument cluster keep you connected and in control of all the vehicle's vital information.
Competition
In the exclusive niche of electric city cars with sporty aspirations, the Abarth 500e finds its main adversary in the MINI Cooper SE. The British car offers a very characteristic 'go-kart' driving feel and an iconic design, but the Italian one strikes back with a more aggressive aesthetic, slightly superior acceleration, and that touch of exclusivity and passion that only Abarth knows how to impart. Other models like the Cupra Born play in a slightly larger league in terms of size, but share the philosophy of combining electrification with a dynamic character.
Conclusion
The Abarth 500e is much more than the brand's first electric car; it is proof that fun, character, and emotion can survive and thrive in the age of volts. It's an indulgence car, a gem of design and performance that brings a smile to your face at every traffic light and every corner. Its price is high and its limited range focuses it on a very specific use, but for those looking for an urban toy with an unmistakable soul and a ZERO emissions sticker, the electric scorpion stings harder and more surprisingly than ever.
