A new version of the 500 city car was Abarth’s most important model at the 64th IAA. As you can probably tell from its name, the Abarth 695 Competizione is a hardcore version of the normal Abarth 500, and it also pays homage to the company’s race-tuned cars of the past.
The 695 Competizione, which can be considered a successor to the 2009 695 Tributo Ferrari, is powered by an upgraded version of the 1.4-liter turbocharged MultiAir engine delivering over 180-horses, according to the Italians.
The four-banger powers the front wheels via an electromechanical gearbox with two modes: the fully automatic “Street” and the manual-shifting “Track”, in which the driver changes gears only through the steering wheel-mounded paddles.
The Abarth 695 Competizione “borrows” the Tributo Ferrari's 305 mm Brembo brakes, specially calibrated dampers and dual-mode, sound and performance-enhancing exhaust.
Finally, the interior gets a roll bar in place of the rear seats, instruments by Jaeger, a navigation system with telemetry and two Sabelt sports seats up front

I read your post with a pleasure.
I don't know whether it is really just me or if everybody else experiencing issues together with your blog site. It seems like some of the text inside your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else make sure you provide feedback and let me know if this is certainly happening to them too? This may be a issue with my world wide web browser because I've had this happen previously. Many thanks
