A new Abarth 500C “Esseesse” edition will be revealed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The model will have the added performance of the ‘SS’ kit, improved handling and better safety. The new Abarth 500C will be presented at the show in the newly introduced Grigio Campovolo and Grigio Pista colours, with white chrome trim. Additional features of the new Esseesse family member will be a “Record Monza” exhaust system with dual mode, Blue&Me satellite navigator and a new five-speed gearbox from the second quarter of this year.

Also at Geneva will be the new Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari with Blue Abu Dhabi and Grigio Titanio livery, designed to celebrate the success of the special edition model of the same name. The 695 Tributo Ferrari went on sale in July in 2010 and has sold 1,000 units since then, with half of those going to the UK, French, German and Japanese markets. The 500 model has provided Abarth with huge success. About 1,800 Abarth 500C models have been sold since mid-2010, adding to another 1,400 Abarth Punto Evo models.
