Do not let that cute little butt fool you. Abarth 695 Biposto is a beast. It’s an animal. The good folks of Motorsport Magazine has subjected this car to one of their classic no-holds-barred acceleration tests, and boy is it quick. And loud; like proper sports car loud.
The 2015 Fiat Abarth 695 Biposto special edition is a rare and expensive city car – 50,000 GBP or nearly 80,000 USD – but then it delivers bucket loads of fun pretty much anywhere, anytime. you don’t necessarily have to go to a race track to have a good time in this car. And I don’t know, but that seems to the whole point of a sports car. You can spend that 80 grand on something like an BMW M4 or a Mercedes C63, but I doubt they would the deliver the same sensation as this naughty little Italian. This thing is like Bart Simpson with wheels!
