The new Abarth 600e Competizione arrives as the brand’s most powerful production model to date, pairing a 280-horsepower electric powertrain with track-tuned hardware according to Stellantis media announcements released in November 2025. Priced from 45,990 euros, the high-performance subcompact electric vehicle replaces the launch-edition Scorpionissima and spearheads Abarth’s 2026 model-year lineup alongside the 240-horsepower Turismo variant.
Powertrain and Performance Specifications
According to Stellantis technical disclosures, the Abarth 600e Competizione utilizes a 207-kilowatt (280 PS) electric motor mounted on the front axle. The vehicle accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, matching the sprint time of corporate siblings like the Opel Mokka GSE while operating on the Stellantis Perfo-eCMP battery-electric vehicle platform. Top speed is electronically capped at 200 km/h.
Energy storage comes from a 54-kilowatt-hour battery pack with a usable capacity of roughly 49 kWh. WLTP testing yields a combined driving range between 315 and 344 kilometers, though real-world dynamic driving will reduce that figure. For buyers prioritizing a slightly lower entry point, the Abarth 600e Turismo delivers 175 kW (240 PS) and covers the zero-to-100-km/h run in 6.2 seconds with a base price set at 41,990 euros.
Motorsport Hardware and Mechanical Enhancements
To handle the electric output, Abarth integrates several mechanical upgrades that differentiate the Competizione from standard Stellantis electric hatchbacks. According to manufacturer specifications, the car features a mechanical limited-slip differential to manage front-wheel traction out of tight corners. Stopping power relies on a specialized braking system equipped with front monoblock calipers and larger discs designed to reduce brake fade.
The chassis sits lower than urban-focused alternatives, paired with stiffer damping and a retuned steering rack. Inside the cabin, occupants find Alcantara-wrapped steering wheels and integrated Sabelt racing seats designed to hold drivers securely during lateral g-force loads. Exterior options include a two-tone paint scheme pairing a black roof with high-impact shades like Shock Orange, Acid Green, and Antidote White.
Sound Design and Driving Modes
Addressing the inherent silence of battery-electric vehicles, Abarth includes a digital sound generator that mimics the mechanical exhaust note of legacy combustion models like the historic Abarth 595. Drivers can toggle this synthetic acoustic track off entirely. The vehicle also features three distinct driving modes—Turismo, Scorpion Street, and Scorpion Track—allowing operators to adjust throttle mapping and regenerative braking intensity to match various road or circuit conditions.
