History and Background The Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione is part of the modern generation of Abarth models that, starting in 2008, brought the 500 name back into the spotlight in a sporty context. The 595 represents a further evolution of the compact Fiat 500 platform, with an emphasis on handling, spirited performance, and a clear distinction from the standard models. Within the lineup, the Competizione was the version most geared toward track use and dynamic performance, recognizable by its specific seats, suspension tuning, and technical equipment. In Abarth’s history, the model designation 595 refers to the cars developed in the 1960s under the Abarth label based on the Fiat 500. The modern 2016 Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione continues that tradition by combining a compact body with a sporty technical foundation. In the market at that time, the model occupied a space between compact hot hatches and more distinct niche models, with its combination of size, character, and tuning potential securing it a firm place in the segment. This 2016 Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione is finished in Grigio Campovolo and equipped with the Performance package, a mechanical limited-slip differential, Sabelt seats with carbon-fiber backs, and various other modifications. As such, this example embodies the well-known principle of the 595 Competizione as a compact yet technically and emphatically sport-oriented Abarth.
