Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari Hits UK, Country Turns the Other Cheek

The first example of the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari has reached the UK, with the vehicle becoming a star at a motorsport celebration night that was recently held at Abarth’s flagship dealer, Fiat Marylebone.

In addition to its hotness, the hatch also comes with a high level of exclusivity, as only 152 right hand drive units will be offered to British customers. The vehicle comes with a Ferrari-inspired livery, carbon wing mirrors, as well as with Corsa Grey wheels and front air intakes.

Fiat Marylebone, which is located on London’s Wigmore Street, has already found over 20 owners, with two customers ordering their vehicles during the celebration night. The vehicle was displayed alongside other Abarth models, including a Trofeo series racecar, a collection of classic Abarth racers and the current Abarth 500, 500C and Punto Evo.

The list of special guest that attended the event included actor Tom Chambers, comedian Patrick Kielty, Andrew Humberstone, managing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK and Ireland, and Ivan Gibson, head of Abarth UK.

“Fiat Marylebone was once again the perfect venue for an interesting and exciting night,” said Tony Dittli, managing director, Fiat Marylebone. “There was plenty to do and see including some stunning Abarth machinery such as the 695 Tributo. All our guests enjoyed themselves and the evening was a great success.”

We’ll remind you that the pocket rocket is powered by a 1,368cc turbocharged unit that delivers 180 hp @5,500 rpm. The engine allows the vehicle to complete the 0 to 62 mph sprint in under seven seconds and offers it a top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h), while returning a fuel efficiency of 43.3 UK mpg.
