To whom is it addressed
Those who want a compact sports car (it is impossible not to find a place in the garage), those who love the 500 and the brand. Abarth and those who prefer sunroof canvas to checkered (in our opinion, not particularly appropriate) Scorpio closed.
Driving: first hit
In our opinion, black paint best emphasizes shapes. Abarth 595 C Scorpionoro: A “dark” touch that enhances the chinkino's elegance, especially if you decide to remove (a free option that we'd like to recommend) the bright gold scorpion sticker on the hood.
Inside, dark shades prevail in the interior that will be familiar to those who have driven a 500 Scorpio in the past: the front seats that swivel in the right place and the seating position too high, which belies the car's sportiness. ... Even engine T-Jet turbocharged 1.4 hp 165 l - a longtime acquaintance of the Turin brand: a unit with a unique sound, pleasant and intrusive (sometimes even too much), capable of providing live work. THE consumption? With fun driving, you can stay above 10 km / l, but only with a very moderate driving style can you cover 15 kilometers per liter.
Driving: final grade
La Scorpio does not add anything new to the already tested Abarth 595C but every time you drive CityCar The Piedmontese cannot help but appreciate the engagement they have to offer: engine which pushes to any regime, Speed exact, which only lacks a sixth relationship to be perfect, one steering straight as few and powerful braking system. And all this with agile and confident road handling that will keep both less experienced and more experienced drivers entertained.
Don't expect a miniature Gran Turismo: Scorpion Five mounts. suspensions tough, which react to every outage. IN trunk, which means that it is small and inaccessible due to the lack of backdoor.
What does it say about you
