2019 Fiat Abarth Rivale 695 Special Edition

In 2019, Fiat Abarth introduced a limited-edition model based on the firecracker 595 Competizione and its incredible 132kW 1.4 litre 4 cylinder turbo engine.

Created as a tribute to fellow Italian brand Riva that celebrated its 175th birthday with the ultra-luxe Rivale Yacht in 2017, the Fiat Abarth Rivale 695 was strictly limited to just 35 examples for Australia.

Distinguishing the 695 Rivale are standard appointments including individual numbering, a nautical mix of dark blue, aqua and metallic grey paintwork, satin chrome exterior highlights, 17-inch bespoke alloy wheels, xenon headlights, Akrapovic bi-modal exhaust and requisite Rivale badging, blue leather bucket seats and an upgraded 7.0-inch TFT driver’s instrument display. Optional appointments include a manual transmission with the addition of a front limited-slip differential from the 695 Biposto and a Mahogany Pack.

Jeremy Clarkson- 2018 “When you first clap eyes on an Abarth 695 Rivale, you’ll think: “Well, I’ve certainly got to have one of those.” It doesn’t matter whether you earn a living delivering rockets to the launch pad in Kazakhstan or soil to garden centres in North Wales, you will be so consumed by its looks, you’ll spend all night convincing yourself that it’s just the job”.

The car offered has just been released from a private collection. Travelled only 3,620 kilometres and optioned with both the rare manual transmission with LSD and the Mahogany Pack, this as new Abarth Rivale 695 limited edition is the ultimate collectable hot-hatch.

Offered with its book pack, both keys and keyrings, this cool hatch offers exclusive ownership with such limited production numbers and is some of the most fun you can have on four wheels.

Ready to drive off the showroom floor and in absolutely superb condition, this rare and exciting Abarth 695 Rivale limited edition is a credit to its last owner and an asset to the next.
