Old 500 retired too as Fiat gears up for new 500 Ibrida
What excitement there was around the Fiat 500 at launch in 2007. A super stylish remake of an iconic small car, it was a smash hit from the word go. Same story for the Abarth that followed a year later: lower, louder and just a little bit lairy, the turbocharged 500 was a real hoot. After half a dozen years, the Mini wasn’t the only retro-themed, endlessly customisable city car option out there.
And now, 17 years after that introduction, the Fiat 500 has finally been withdrawn from sale. There will be enough stock to see through any lingering demand that exists for the rest of the year, but no more orders. The only models left on sale were the 500 Hybrid, plus the Abarth 595 and 695. The long-running Fiat will be replaced next year by the new 500 Ibrida , with Abarth’s future, for now at least, set to be electric. The 500e is built at Mirafiori, as the Ibrida will be.
So the least we could do, given such momentous news, was see what a buyer keen on a 500 or a 595 might be able to get in 2024. Certainly they won’t want for choice. Search ‘Abarth 595’ in the classifieds and there are more than 200 results; the standard 500s total almost two thousand. Indeed it’s quite hard to imagine what Fiat would have done without the 500 since 2007.
The Abarth is what PH has always been most interested in, of course. No Sunday Service would be complete without something 500-shaped angrily parping along like a shrunken speedboat. Those willing to accept a few miles can get a 140hp Abarth for a , which feels like quite a lot of fun for the money.
That’s just the start, however; the Abarth 500/595/695 became famous over the years for ever more powerful, ever more expensive, ever more numerous special editions. The Biposto Rosso Officina was the ultimate, with just 99 made and originally used as Ferrari courtesy cars before the decision was made to sell them. looks great in Adrenaline Green with the carbon-backed seats and sat on Eibach springs; it’s for sale at £17k. There are used in the Silverstone Celebrity Challenge.
