The offer of the Italian brand Abarth, the court car manufacturer of the Fiat carmaker, has expanded with a new and improved incarnation of the 695 Esseesse model. However, it will be created only in 1390 copies – 695 of them will be black and the other 695 gray – so those interested should hurry.

What will they receive for their money, the required amount of which has not yet been announced? Under the hood, a fourteen-hundred-meter engine with 180 horsepower and 250 newton meters remains, thanks to which the car can accelerate to one hundred in 6.7 seconds and the maximum is up to 225 km / h. However, the hood is made of aluminum to save weight; the new esseesse is 10 kg lighter than before.

Other major modifications include the Akrapovič exhaust system and an adjustable spoiler at the end of the roof, with which you can either increase the downforce by up to 42 kg at a speed of 200 km / h or reduce air resistance to reach a maximum of 225 km / h.

In the interior, the biggest novelty of the carbon parts of the lining is the inscription “One of 695”, in Czech “Jeden z 695”, on the backs of sports seats. In addition, we find an infotainment with a seven-inch screen, which has its own navigation, but also manages Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

Notice the inscription under the multi-point belt guide – it serves as a plaque reminiscent of a special edition.

The model is inspired by the former 695 Esseesse from 1964, which managed a speed of 140 km / h thanks to the increase in engine capacity to 690 cc and power to 38 hp. At that time, he had the letters SS on the hood and their transcription “esseesse” on the dashboard. Only a thousand of them were created.
