Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari: limited edition, engine and what to know when buying
Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari — the limited edition version of the Abarth 500, created with Ferrari and launched in 2010. We look at its engine, features and what to check when buying this rare hot hatch.
Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari in brief
The Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is a special limited edition version of the Abarth 500, created in collaboration with Ferrari. It bears the Ferrari badge on its wings, and the body and interior are adorned with unique details.
This is a small three-door hatchback designed for collectors and Abarth enthusiasts. It stands out from other Abarth 500 versions with a more powerful engine and limited production run.
Engine and gearbox
The car is powered by a 1.4-litre T-Jet turbo petrol engine with around 180 hp. Compared to the standard Abarth 500 (around 135 hp), this is significantly more, and the car is light, so the dynamics are very lively.
The gearbox is usually the robotised Abarth Competizione with steering wheel controls. Drive is to the front wheels.
Rarity and collectability
Due to its limited run, the Tributo Ferrari is rarer than other Abarth 500s, so its value is determined not just by condition, but also by originality, documentation and mileage accuracy.
Before buying, make sure the car is genuinely a Tributo Ferrari and not just a standard Abarth 500 dressed up to look like this version. Check the VIN, factory markings and, if possible, documents from the seller or an Abarth representative.
What to check when buying a used 695 Tributo Ferrari
Check the condition of the turbo engine: service history, oil change records, and any issues. The robotized gearbox requires special attention — ensure the gears shift smoothly and the clutch hasn't worn out.
Inspect the body and wheels for any damage or repaints. These cars are often driven aggressively, so assess the suspension and brakes. Specific "Tributo Ferrari" parts are hard to find, so opt for the most complete and least modified car.
Version
This is a separate limited-series version; no other trims are available.
