TURIN: A new, limited edition version of Abarth’s 695 biposto, the Record, has just gone on sale.
Just 133 examples of the striking 695 biposto Record will be built for worldwide distribution. An exclusive ‘Modena Yellow’ finish embellished with ‘Tar Cold Grey’ trims, enamelled ‘695 Record’ badge on the side and aluminium bonnet are all standard features.
This small run of cars – 133 is the number of records held by the Scorpion brand – also feature 18-inch OZ alloy wheels, large Brembo brakes and a throaty Akrapovic exhaust. Inside, there is special instrument panel animation, Sabelt carbon shell seats, four point seatbelts, a cargo net and a unique numbered plate.
Based on the sporting, two-seat Abarth 695 biposto, the Record version is powered by the same 190hp 1.4 Turbo T-Jet 16-valve engine. Weighing in at only 997kg, the car has the best weight-to-power ratio (5.2 kg/hp) and the best acceleration (from 0-100kph in 5.9 seconds) in its category. Top speed is 230kph.
Peak power is delivered at 5,500 rpm and top torque is 250Nm at 3,000 rpm.
The 139hp/litre specific power is remarkable and sets a new record in its class. Performance is secured by a mechanical self-locking differential combined with a manual synchromesh gearbox.
