We’ll admit that these live pics of the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari at the Frankfurt motor show make it look more like the Fiat 500 pink, but it is still a head-turning crowd pleaser. Clearly, Abarth likes the attention, setting up its miniature car grenade right next door to Ferrari.
The Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari has a manual transmission with steering wheel paddles, carbon fibre inserts, rear spoiler and, of course, a Scuderia Ferrari red paint job. The 1.4-litre T-Jet engine has 180 hp and the Abarth gets to 100 km/hr in less than seven seconds.
If you think you’re in the market for one of these though, think again. According to reports the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari costs more than 40,000 euros and with a production run of just over 1,000, it’s intended as the daily run-about for those customers who are already keeping their Ferrari in the garage.

The Fiat 500 in pink is on its way to Italy, and while production numbers are unknown, the special colour model will cost 15,500 euros on the local market. This 500 version is offered with sun-roof and black interior.
It’s possible that this colour pink will add itself to the available colour range, while another shade of pink has been dedicated to the Fiat 500 Barbie. It’s a special edition created through collaboration between Fiat and Mattel, and which costs about 40,000 euros.
