General description
The Abarth 595 Turismo is the embodiment of the scorpion's venom in a small bottle. Starting from the iconic and friendly figure of the Fiat 500, Abarth injects a massive dose of adrenaline and character to create a car that leaves no one indifferent. With its 165-horsepower 1.4 T-JET engine, this small sports car is not just a means of transport; it's a statement of intent, a machine designed to awaken emotions and turn every journey into a memorable experience.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the 595 Turismo is a sensory overload. The roar of the engine upon starting, deep and disproportionate for its size, anticipates what's to come. The suspension is firm, communicating every imperfection of the asphalt directly to your back, but it is precisely this connection that makes you feel alive. When you press the accelerator, the 165 hp pins you to the seat with unexpected ferocity, while the whistle of the turbo and the backfire of the exhaust compose an addictive soundtrack. The robotized sequential gearbox, with its marked and somewhat abrupt transitions, makes you a participant in the driving, demanding your attention and rewarding you with a race car feeling that few modern vehicles can match.
Design and aesthetics
Its aesthetic is a perfect balance between nostalgia and aggressiveness. It maintains the friendly rounded lines of the 500 but adorns them with widened bumpers, 17-inch wheels that fill the wheel arches, a rear diffuser, and, of course, the scorpion emblems. Every detail screams 'performance'. Inside, the competitive atmosphere continues with body-hugging seats, a sports steering wheel, and the turbo pressure gauge presiding over the dashboard. It's a design that doesn't ask for permission, that is proud of its heritage and its purpose: to be an object of desire and fun.
Technology and features
The technology in the Abarth 595 doesn't focus on driving aids or superfluous luxuries, but on enhancing the driving experience. The 'Sport' button transforms the car's character, sharpening the engine's response and stiffening the steering for a more direct feel. The TTC (Torque Transfer Control) system acts as an electronic limited-slip differential, improving traction when exiting slow corners and allowing you to squeeze out the chassis's full potential. The Uconnect system screen meets infotainment needs, but the real technology that defines this car is what you feel: the one that connects you purely and mechanically to the road.
Competition
Finding a direct rival for the Abarth 595 is complicated due to its uniqueness. The MINI Cooper S offers a similar power level and agile handling, but with a more refined and bourgeois approach, lacking the passionate rawness of the Italian. The Ford Fiesta ST, although larger and more practical, shares its playful spirit and is a benchmark in dynamics, but it doesn't have the same aesthetic charisma or the intoxicating sound of the Abarth. Perhaps its biggest rival is itself in its more powerful versions, but in its niche as a 'pocket rocket' with an Italian soul, it plays in a league of its own.
Conclusion
The Abarth 595 Turismo is a car bought with the heart, not the head. It's small, it's firm, and its practicality is limited. However, all of that is forgotten the moment you turn the key and its engine comes to life. It's an antidote to boredom, a constant smile generator that reminds you why you are passionate about driving. For anyone looking for a second fun car or simply wanting every day to feel like a rally stage, this little scorpion offers one of the purest and most exciting experiences on the market.
