Abarth 595 Welcomes the F595, a New MT-Spec Grade with a Distinctive Exterior
Stellantis Japan has introduced the "F595," a new grade for the Abarth sports model "595." It will go on sale on Saturday, July 9, 2022.
The "Record Monza" exhaust, specially tuned, creates a sharp rear profile
The "Abarth 595," a "hot hatch" with a turbo engine in a compact body, now welcomes the new "F595" grade, balancing sportiness and comfort.
The "F595" is positioned as the successor to the "595 Pista," which was offered as a limited edition in Japan from May 2020, and also in Italy. It features a suspension and powertrain that balance comfort on long drives with agility on winding roads, along with a distinctive exterior that sets it apart within the series.
Furthermore, a noteworthy feature is the layout of the "Record Monza" exhaust system, specially tuned for this model. The twin dual exhaust system, arranged in a V-shape, creates a sharp rear view.
The F595 employs a suspension system that combines KONI FSD shock absorbers with the standard rear coil springs. This ensures a comfortable ride for daily use while achieving the agile handling characteristic of the 595 series.
Additionally, the front drilled ventilated discs and high-performance front brake pads provide heat dissipation and braking power capable of withstanding hard braking during spirited driving.
The interior features a predominantly black theme, with integrated headrest sports seats and a leather shift knob creating a sporty ambiance. Comfort features such as fully automatic air conditioning, privacy glass, and heated door mirrors are also included.
The powertrain is a 1.4-liter inline 4-cylinder turbo engine producing a maximum output of 165 ps. This engine shares its base with the unit Abarth supplies for Formula 4 in Italy and Germany, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
The "Abarth 595 F595" is available with either left-hand or right-hand drive. The body is offered in five color schemes, combining base colors with specific accent colors, priced at 3.9 million yen. The conventional 595 base model will be discontinued once current stock is depleted.
