The new range of Abarth-tuned Fiat 500 models are now available in the UK, including two new hotted up 595 versions: 595 Turismo and the 595 Competizione. These models get the 160bhp version of the turbocharged 1.4 T-Jet engine, more standard equipments than normal Aabrth 500, and unique visual features. They are a bit pricey though.

The Turismo is priced from £17,725 for the 500 and from £19,625 for the 500C, and includes Alutex pedals, footrest and door kick-plates, bespoke floor mats, machined aluminium fuel and oil filler caps among other features. The Competizione meanwhile is priced from £18,725 for the coupe and £20,625 for the convertible, and gets aluminium pedals, footrest and door kick-plates, bespoke floor mats, machined aluminium fuel and oil filler caps.

The Abarth 500 remains the entry-level model with a base price of £13,975, though a new colour, and extra standard equipment has been added.
