About Abarth
Abarth is an Italian performance brand under Stellantis N.V., known for transforming compact vehicles into high performance machines with distinctive styling and sound. Founded in 1949 by Carlo Abarth in Turin, the company built its reputation on racing success and tuning expertise, later becoming synonymous with sport oriented versions of Fiat models. Today, Abarth represents the spirited, motorsport inspired edge of the Stellantis portfolio.
As the automotive industry transitions to electrification, Abarth is redefining its performance legacy for the electric era. The brand's first battery electric model, the Abarth 500e, retains the compact, urban friendly dimensions of the Fiat 500 while delivering sharper handling, instant torque, and the brand's signature dynamic character. It features a tuned version of the Fiat 500e platform, optimized for responsiveness and driving enjoyment.
Abarth's approach to electrification emphasizes emotional performance rather than raw efficiency, focusing on delivering the signature sound, feel, and engagement that enthusiasts associate with the scorpion badge. The brand has experimented with synthetic sound generation and performance tuned regenerative braking to preserve the visceral experience of driving an Abarth, even in full electric form.
Future Abarth EVs are expected to expand into new performance segments within Stellantis' global electrified lineup, leveraging modular battery platforms and advanced motor technologies shared across the group. By blending Italian design, compact efficiency, and electric performance, Abarth continues its mission to deliver small cars with big personality, now powered by electricity.
