2013 Abarth 695 Fuori Serie ابارث

The Abarth 'fuoriserie' concept represents the ultimate level of customisation combined with the exclusivity of a car built for and dedicated to every single customer, satisfying their desires and aspirations. Through direct communication with Abarth, 'fuoriserie' customers are able to develop their car, forging a solid link with a brand that continues even once the car has been paid for through customer care that is always available and attentive to every need.

Customisation and exclusivity start with performance (only Abarth 'fuoriserie' cars have 180 HP engine tuning and feature the exclusive 695 branding) and continue with the numbers (limited editions with very few examples) plus a focus on innovation, technology and trends, which also applies to the choice of materials.

Abarth 'fuoriserie' cars also offer other distinctive features and technical specifications: to start with, the 1.4 Turbo T-Jet 16v engine boosted to 180 HP and teamed with the electrically-operated manual Abarth Competizione gearbox with steering wheel controls, which enhances the performance of the engine with reduced gearshift times as well as guaranteeing an experience of superior driving comfort at the wheel.

To improve the performance and the acceleration in particular, the 'fuoriserie' car is fitted with high-performance tyres on 17'' alloys. The ride and braking system have also been strengthened to cope with the extra power: Brembo � 305 mm brake discs that can be dismantled with fixed four-piston caliper and special K�ni� shock absorbers with FSD technology that guarantee performance in total safety. The variable back-pressure dual mode exhaust is designed to improve engine performance and deliver an inspiring engine sound over 3,000 rpm.

'Fuoriserie' cars are equipped with Xenon headlights with dipped and main beam functions for improved light emission and excellent efficiency under all weather conditions. These devices deliver three times the light intensity and duration of standard halogen lamp headlights.

The interiors are customised with specific materials and trim levels, made by involving superior Italian and international partners that share values such as craftsmanship and high quality with the brand: carbon finishes, dedicated personalisation plates and cutting-edge technology, as evidenced by a JBL� sound system (created by Harman� specially for Abarth) with 9 speakers and 8 channel amplifier for 400 watts of overall power.

Exclusivity and attention to detail are guaranteed by handcrafting assembly and finishing processes: for example, each livery is hand-painted and polished, without the use of stickers.

For those who want a 'bespoke' car, Abarth has developed two specific collections belonging to the 'fuoriserie' programme and applicable to both saloon and convertible models: 'New Heritage' and 'New Wave'. The former collection is inspired by cars of the past, victories and races, while the latter focuses on trends and innovations with the emphasis on materials and new technologies, a tribute to contemporary Abarth aficionados and their 'custom attitude'.

In detail, the 'New Heritage' is inspired by the cars that have written the brand's history, reinterpreting their motifs with new materials and new finishes. From the Fiat 750 Record and 124 Sanremo all the way to the X19 prototype: these are the record-breaking cars, the Abarth world rally champions, those driven by the greatest sports drivers that are being reinterpreted in a modern guise with a range of materials and finishes ranging from carbon fibre to sports fabrics, from leather to Alcantara�, and from glossy to matte liveries.

The New Wave collection was developed by observing and listening to trends emerging from the community of Abarth aficionados. Sportiness interpreted with a contemporary twist, not necessarily linked to the racing world, enhanced by the use of materials from research in the automotive field and in all the most technical sports.

Regardless of the collection and livery chosen, customers will have additional customisation options to create their own personal 'fuoriserie'. The exclusivity and uniqueness are reinforced by documentation issued with the car and a plate inside the car showing a serial number and the owner's name.

The stand at the Geneva Motor Show will display two models for each collection: Abarth 695 'Record' and Abarth 695 'Scorpione' for the New Heritage collection, while the Abarth 695 'Hype' and Abarth 695 'Black Diamond' will represent the New Wave collection.
All the customisations on show will be available on the Abarth 500 and Abarth 500c with the 695 branding. In the future, the 'Abarth fuoriserie' programme may be rolled out to the entire Abarth universe.
