The Ferrari Formula One team is offering a new bonus to its drivers, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, offering each one an Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari. The keys to the red pocket-rockets have been handed over during a special ceremony that took place yesterday in Monza, Italy.

The Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is a toy that comes with a price tag of over EUR35,000. The vehicle, which shows Abarth’s strong connection to the Prancing Horse, comes in a strong red finish and features two silver stripes that run from one end to the other.

The little car is powered by a 1.4 liter Turbo T-Jet 16V unit that delivers 180 hp at 5,500 rpm and 250 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm. The unit offers a high efficiency level, as it returns a fuel economy of 43.3 mpg (5.43 liters per 100 km).

The powerpant works together with a Manual Transmission Automated (MTA) electromechanical gearbox that offers short shifting times and lets the driver control it through paddles. The car manages to cover the 0 to 62 mph sprint in seven seconds and offer a top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h).

The special vehicle uses a custom suspension that offers top handling characteristics and rides on 17 inch lightweight alloy rims. The wheels use a design inspired from that of the Ferrari rims.

The braking system, which is supplied by Brembo, matches the power of the vehicle, being able to deliver serious stopping power, as it comes with 284 mm rotors and four-piston calipers for the front axle.
