Abarth has unveiled its new ‘race car for the road’, the 695 biposto at the Geneva Motor Show, some 50 years after the
launch of the very first Abarth 695.
The 1964 edition 695 featured a 699.5 cc displacement to provide maximum power of 22kW (30 horsepower), helping it
reach a top speed of 130 km/h. The first 695 was appreciated for its agility and versatility in town and on touring
routes.
The 2014 Abarth 695 biposto features a 141kW (190 horsepower) turbocharged engine and weighs just 997kg, propelling it
from 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds.
Abarth engineers shed the compromises typical of road-going vehicles such as the rear seats, xenon headlights, fog
lights, climate control, electric windows and radio system to give the new Abarth 695 its focussed, racing edge.

Numerous features are derived straight from the track; a gearbox with dog rings - for the first time on a road-going
car currently in its category - and fixed front windows with polycarbonate sliding panels (a high-performance technical
material used for sports equipment and aeroplane windows due to its flexibility and resistance).
It also features a front intercooler, Akrapovic exhaust system, Extreme Shox adjustable shock absorbers, MXL digital
data logger, Abarth Corsa by Sabelt seats with four-point seat belts, Brembo braking system, lightened 18-inch OZ rims
and rear titanium roll bar by Poggipolini.
ABS, ESP, TTC (Torque Transfer Control), disc and clutch self-locking differential and racing-derived Brembo braking
system with front floating, ventilated and perforated discs (305×28 mm) and four-piston one-piece calliper (4×38 mm)
provide maximum safety to back up the 695 biposto’s sporting intent.

Automotive styling specialist Zender developed the 695 biposto’s front and rear bumpers, side skirts, wheel arches and
spoiler to provide a bespoke feel.
The Abarth’s bodywork is finished in a new textured-effect Performance Grey colour, while the front bonnet trim, door
handles and tailgate and rear handle feature a titanium finish.
An aluminium bonnet and carbon fibre external mirrors also reduce weight.
The 695 biposto’s cabin is characterised by its rear titanium roll bar, 'Abarth Corsa by Sabelt' racing seats with
carbon shell, four-point harnesses and ‘anti-intrusion’ net for securing luggage.
