Dubbed the 695 75 Anniversario, the latest special rendition stands out by way of its eye-catching livery and a handful of mechanical enhancements to make this pint-sized Italian hatch even hotter. Specific to the Abarth 695 are visual elements such as the 17-inch gold alloy wheels, piston head graphic on the car’s haunches, privacy glass, a gold Abarth logo adorning the 695’s flank and a scorpion graphic on its roof. The cabin of the limited edition 695 model is distinguished by a handful of model-specific parts, such as the Sabelt carbon seats with Alcantara inserts and “Anniversario” lettering on the headrests and an Alcantara-wrapped dashboard. The interior is also characterised by components like the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and adjacent 7-inch digital driver display.

Under its skin, the limited edition model features a 1.4-litre turbopetrol engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission, feeding 134 kW/ 250 N.m to the front axle. The efforts of the 1 328 cc powerplant are retorted through an active-valve Record Monza exhaust system. The special edition model also features Koni FSD shock absorbers on both axles. Additionally, the 695 75° Anniversario features an uprated braking system consisting of 305×28 mm ventilated and perforated discs clamped by black Brembo callipers.

Only 1 368 examples of the 695 75° Anniversario model will be produced as a nod to the engine’s 1 368 capacity.
