The Origin of the Abarth 695 Biposto
The Abarth 695 Biposto is a special version of the classic Fiat 500, known for its performance and sporty design. This version belongs to the third generation of the Fiat 500, which was produced from 2007 to 2020. The 695 Biposto was specifically designed to create a bridge between an everyday city car and a race car. One of the key figures behind this design is engineer Francesco Spadafora, who was responsible for developing the vehicle dynamics. The car packs a punch with about 190 hp from a 1.4-liter (0.04-gallon) turbo engine, hitting 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds. Weighing in at only 997 kg (2,197 pounds), the Abarth 695 Biposto is an impressive example of a light and nimble sports car. It was marketed as the fastest car in its class and attracts countless stares with its aggressive lines and sporty features. Its predecessor, the Abarth 595, is seen as revolutionary and served as clear inspiration and the foundation for further developments in this model line.
