Celebratory Abarth 500 Custom launched
To commemorate the Abarth marque’s 65th birthday, 65 special 500 Custom models are being offered in the UK.
Finished in metallic Record Grey, their extra equipment comprises a set of 17” ten-spoke alloy wheels, yellow brake calipers and rear privacy glass.

The technical specification is unchanged though, so power is still provided by a 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS). That output is sufficient to accelerate the 500 from standstill to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a respectably quick 7.9 seconds.
With an on-the-road price of £14,990, the Abarth 500 Custom is £430 more than the regular version.
However, such a premium is actually very reasonable, as specifying the additional items separately would cost £1,105. Furthermore, the package includes the Abarth Track Experience which is run at a number of circuits around the country.
