(Un)Naturally makes the Abarth Sound!
And Abarth wouldn’t be Abarth if the scorpion remained virtually silent. A sound generator is available as an optional extra on board the small electric speedster. It sounds a bit artificial – but still. The idea is not new, but it is being implemented here for the first time outside of the premium segment and in a small car. The battery drive also means that the electric scorpion outperforms the 595 and 695 in terms of handling and braking performance thanks to better weight distribution. According to Francois, he is in the spirit of company founder Carlo Abarth, who in the 1950s and 1960s was concerned with helping production vehicles from Fiat – above all the 500 – achieve better acceleration and sportier handling.
