Detailed analysis of the Abarth 595 Turismo 1.4 16v T-JET 160 CV (2012-2015)
General description
The Abarth 595 Turismo is not just a car, it's a statement of intent. Born from the iconic Fiat 500, the Abarth scorpion transforms it into a small beast loaded with Italian passion and adrenaline. This 2012 model represents the pure essence of a 'hot hatch': a tiny size with a huge heart, designed to thrill and turn every journey into an unforgettable experience.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the 595 Turismo is an awakening of the senses. The 160 HP 1.4 T-JET engine pushes with unexpected fury in such a light car, catapulting you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds. The throaty and addictive sound of the exhaust is the perfect soundtrack for a drive that feels visceral and direct. Its rigid chassis and short wheelbase make you feel every inch of the asphalt, transmitting a pure connection with the road, as if you were driving a road-legal go-kart. It's a car that demands and rewards you, asking you to play in every corner and smiling with you at every acceleration.
Design and aesthetics
Visually, it's a work of art that fuses retro charm with competitive aggressiveness. It maintains the master lines of the 500, but every detail screams 'Abarth'. The widened bumpers, 17-inch wheels, rear diffuser, and, of course, the ubiquitous scorpion logos, give it an imposing presence. The Turismo version adds a touch of elegance with chrome details and a more refined interior, with leather seats that embrace you, proving that sportiness is not at odds with style.
Technology and features
The true technology of this Abarth doesn't lie in touch screens, but in its mechanics. The heart is its turbocharged engine, an engineering gem designed to deliver power explosively. The chassis has a specific setup, with firm suspensions and oversized brakes to ensure absolute control. The 'Sport' mode transforms the car's character, sharpening the throttle response and stiffening the steering for an even sportier feel. It's technology at the service of driving pleasure, without filters or distractions.
Competition
In its time, it faced giants like the MINI Cooper S or the Ford Fiesta ST. While its rivals might have offered more space or greater daily refinement, none could match the overflowing character and Italian soul of the Abarth. Choosing the 595 Turismo was a decision made with the heart, a bet on exclusivity, sound, and a design that turns heads wherever it goes. It's a car for those who don't want to be just another one in the crowd.
Conclusion
The Abarth 595 Turismo is a concentrate of emotions. It is a whimsical, impractical car with a firm suspension that does not seek comfort. However, all of that is forgotten the moment you step on the accelerator and hear its roar. It's a toy for adults, a smile-generating machine that reminds you why you are passionate about driving. A future classic that perfectly encapsulates the legacy of Carlo Abarth: creating small cars capable of giant feats.
