Why Abarth Cant Make A 200BHP Stock 595.. For Now..

Abarth 595's have been running the same 1.4 turbocharged engine for a while now and whilst 200 BHP does not sound like a lot of power its a power figure that many Abarth owners have questioned as to why a standard car is not being produced with it. The reality is that without significant R&D and a new engine and thanks to emissions laws Abarth are currently tied. Now this doesn't mean that we wont ever see an Abarth 595 running stock power of over 200 BHP but i think we will have to wait a while for that to happen. We all know that modifying cars like the Abarth 595 Essesse or competizione will easily deliver power of over 200 bhp and run safely but it will breach emissions regulations. Here are my thoughts on it all.

Here in the States we only got the 1.4T MultiAir, no T-Jets. Depending on the car, we got different power configurations.

Abarth is beautiful, I am disappointed that it has been discontinued in America.

Abarth should focus more on upgrade parts.

6th gear is the thing that is the most important... Let us tinker and put our own R&D into pushing the power. That is one of the things everyone in the community loves. What I enjoyed the most on the Abarth Days 2019 was to see literally a 1000 same cars, but not 2 exactly the same - everyone adds their ow special sauce and personality tho their Abarth from a sticker to an extra 100 BHP...

I have a 2018 Pista (Euro 6). No mods. And I can assure you that it bangs when going from 3rd to 4th. Just rev it to 3500-4000 and then change... BANG! No pops and bangs on idle or when lifting gas... but that last Euro 6 Batch, before the Euro6D one, still offered some bang for the price.

The 695 Biposto is to me the most beautiful Abarth ever made, even if I own a 595 Competizione 70° Anniversary myself and before this, I owned a 595 Trofeo / Pista. I really the new model as well, 695 70° Anniversario, that lovely 595 EsseEsse, etc... But when it comes to talk about the 695 Biposto, that is a really special car and that is why we all love it in the community. It is like a beautiful lady you can't afford, but you can dream of her, of course. Regards from Belgium, keep on the good work dear Stef.

Stef Hi, surely if you want a 200 brake Abarth, and you drive a 180 Comp you just take it to Tony for a remap, like dozens of us have. Job done,easy peasy. All the best for the new year. Jerry

Interesting video Stef, I fancy an Abarth at some point, I used to prefer the Cooper S but it isn’t really that Mini anymore. Having driven the wife’s Fiat 500 lounge, I love it and wish she’d got an Abarth! You’re right they are concentrating on what really sells. Can’t afford to do what Mini did and change the whole platform, meaning they could ditch the horrible 1.6 PSA engine in the Cooper S and whack a 2.0 BMW engine in it. Don’t want PSA, the engines are pants, I had a 207 GTi, the camshaft pulley is held (or not in my case) in place by the friction from one centre bolt with no key way! I wouldn’t be too worried about having an Abarth remapped myself.

Character is more important than the power in my opinion, not bothered about 200bhp if it means it doesn't bring as much of a smile to my face as my abarth does now.

Ive had the standard 2011 abarth 500 with 135bhp but tuned it to 180/190. Would you recommend getting the 595 that has 160bhp? They are roughly the same price to buy if I go same year but not sure whether its worth paying more to insure it or not

I think the PSA merge might save the 500 and varients of small abart platform as they have a 1.2 3 pot turbo cable of 150 bhp in stock form this with a map and a few bits and that crucial 6th gear may make it the economics choice for the hot hatch, fait/abarth with the PSA merger need to capitalize on something no one else is and that is these are convenient cheap to run fast cars mini is going the wrong way by making the cars and the engines bigger, food for thought...
