Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari at Frankfurt

Fiat are said to be bringing the 500 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari to Frankfurt

Update 12/9/09: Fiat has now confirmed that the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is real and will be at the Frankfurt Motor Show. We’ve updated with details and a full gallery of pictures of the Tributo Ferrari, and the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari Press Release.

And earlier this year we speculated – whilst looking at the Abarth 500 – that it would make a great courtesy car for Ferrari and other Supercar makers. Well it looks like Ferrari and Fiat were listening (as if!) as we’ve heard today that there is to be a special Fiat 500 coming to Frankfurt – the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari.

The 695 Tributo Ferrari will – of course – be painted in Maranello’s favourite shade of red, and sport a nicely sorted 1.4 litre turbo with 180bhp. Also on offer will be a six-speed paddle-shift, upgraded suuspension and a set of meaty,Ferrari Red Brembos. And holding up each corner are a new set of alloys with historical Ferrari design cues.

Inside the 695 Tributo Ferrari gets some luxury Ferrar-style leather on carbon fibre shells, with red inserts to match the exterior livery.

No word on price yet, but it will be £20k plus.

Still, the cheapest new ‘Ferrari’ bar none.
