Inside,you’ll also find Uconnect technology with a seven-inch touchscreen and Abarth Telemetry.However, fans like us are sure to be even more excited to hear that as part of this 70th birthday bash, the fabulous Abarth 595 esseesse is back to breathe new life into the iconic name.Ten years after its debut, the model is making a gloriousreturn to the roads, equipped with a throatyAkrapovic exhaust system and powerful 180 HP engine.As with the Competizione, there’s the Brembo front braking system with perforated, ventilated front brake discs and red brake calipers.However, you’ll also get the added benefit of 17-inchSupersport alloy wheels, a spanking newRacing White finish, Abarth side stripes, mirror caps and matching front andrear DAM.Abarth has been sexing up Fiat 500 superminis for more than a decade now, and it’s fair to say that the basic styling hasn’t changed.But that’s why fans of these head-turning city cars are soenthusiastic about them. They’re dinky,they’re retro-styled, they’re fun-loving and they’re an affordable alternativeto the Ford Fiesta ST or the MiniCooper.And with nearly 23,500 Abarth cars sold in Europe last year,it would seem that there are plentyof people out there who agree with us. With 70th anniversarycelebrations upon us, it lookslike 2019 is a great time to try one out – or perhaps upgrade your old one ifyou’re already firmly on thebandwagon."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Abarth updates 595 for 2019","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/abarth-595-2019\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
