£32k 695 Edizione Maserati
The new Abarth 695 Edizione Maserati, which was first revealed in February, will cost an astounding £32,000 in the UK.
As previously detailed, the specification includes three-layer Pontevecchio Bordeaux paintwork (borrowed from the Maserati colour chart), 17” Neptun design alloy wheels, a grey fabric roof, xenon headlights, sand beige Poltrona Frau leather upholstery and special Jaeger instruments.
Under the bonnet is a tuned 1.4 litre turbocharged engine that produces 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS) and comes coupled to a five-speed Abarth Competizione electro-hydraulic gearbox. Among the other technical highlights are upgraded front brakes, a sportier suspension set-up and a variable back-pressure exhaust system.
Undoubtedly, then, the 695 Edizione Maserati features an impressive equipment list. But it’s still essentially a very posh Fiat 500C with a £32,000 price tag.
So, anyone thinking of rushing out to place an order for one of the 499 examples being produced might first want to consider that the same amount could buy a new Audi A3 2.0 TFSI S line Cabriolet or BMW 125i Sport Plus Edition Convertible, for instance.
Alternatively, for the more audacious, the solution would be to go for a genuine Maserati: a trawl through the classifieds should uncover a few decent five- or six-year-old Quattroportes and Gransports for a similar budget.
