Not long ago, Fiat India teased the Abarth 595 Competizione which is headed for the Indian market. First unveiled in India last year, the hot hatchback has just received a power upgrade and more features as standard in select global markets.
The upgraded 595 Competizione range comes with a boost in power to 180bhp and a host of standard equipment. Abarth says it’s offering a throaty Record Monza exhaust system, 17-inch alloy wheels with titanium finish, Brembo brake system, red brake callipers, leather sports steering wheel, Sabelt sports seats, Xenon headlamps, rear parking sensors and aluminium pedals as standard equipment on the new model.
Previously offered with 160bhp, the new 595 Competizione benefits from a 20bhp boost in power. With 180bhp and 250Nm of torque, the 595 Competizione accelerates from zero to 100kmph in 6.7 seconds. The launch of the upgraded model will be followed by a cabriolet version starting May this year.
