Fiat is bringing a limited number of the extra special 500 model, Abarth 595 Trofeo Edition, to the British market. Only 250 examples are slated for the UK, each priced at £15,150. Before you get too excited though we have to point out this model is all about the looks and features. The engine is the same 140hp as in the normal 595 models.

Still, at 15 grand Abarth 595 Trofeo Edition is an interesting proposition, especially as it looks like it is a lot more expensive, and a lot more powerful, than it really is. The little coupe comes in three colors of Record Grey, Scorpione Black or Officina Red, complemented with colour-coded brake callipers with matching wheel centre caps; a carbon-effect Abarth decal set; 17-inch ‘Formula’ alloy wheels; dark-tinted rear quarter windows and specific ‘Trofeo Edition’ badges.

Abarth 595 Trofeo Edition is a value packed model, offering customers up to £1,275 worth of extra equipment while costing just £540 more than a standard Abarth 595. So if you can live with the 140hp engine – which makes possible a 0-62mph time of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 127 mph – it’s a great choice. If you can’t, set aside 23 grand for a Competizione model with180hp.
