Fiat Abarth 695 Biposto.....

Cyber370 · 02-06-2017, 06:57 AM

Hi all,

This thing looks like it's a blast to drive. From what I've read, it isn't available in North America. Normally, I don't like Fiat 500's but this has sparked my interest as a fun track car and racecar for the street. It would probably be way too expensive though. Who knows.

Anyone have any thoughts or info on whether we can get it in US/Canada. Yeah I know, Fiat reliability is atrocious but the 695 may be different because it was specifically built for track.

I had a 2010 Fiat Abarth for 3 years. Total fun. I miss it. The 695 Biposto must be a fantastic drive. Would be great to test one of these!

Based on the 5.2 kg/hp, that would come out to less than 2,200 pounds.

190x5.2=988. 988x2.2 lbs/kg=2,173.6 pounds.

Probably a little heavier because of those pesky little decimals, but not much.
