Prices for the '595' models start at just under £21,500, which gets you the standard 165hp '595' variant. There's a £2,650 premium for the cabriolet bodystyle. The 165hp 'Turismo' and 'F595' versions start at just under £22,500, both variants available with the option of paying around £1,300 more for MTA auto transmission.
The 'Turismo' derivative features Alutex trim for the pedals, footrest and door kick-plates, bespoke floor mats, machined aluminium fuel and oil filler caps and dark tinted rear windows. There's also upgraded front and rear dampers, automatic climate control, leather upholstery and xenon headlights. Go for the Competizione and you also get some beautiful Sabelt seats in fabric upholstery, a Monza exhaust upgrade and anthracite finished alloys.
We'd want the 'F595' model's throatier Record Monza Sovrapposto exhaust system. Here, the exhaust valve is controlled through the scorpion button on the dashboard. This allows the driver to choose, with a simple push of a button, between the sounds of a gentleman driver and Abarth's more traditional, deeper roar.
If no kind of Abarth 595 is quite fast enough for you, you'll be looking at the even more focused 180hp 695 Abarth models, priced in the £25,000-£30,000 bracket, offered in standard, 'Turismo' and 'Competizione' forms.
