Order books for the new Abarth 500e have opened in the UK, with prices starting from £34,195. When it arrives in June – in both hatchback and convertible forms – it will replace the £38,695 Scorpionissima launch edition.
The 152bhp supermini, which draws power from a 42kWh battery, gets the Abarth Sound Generator exterior speaker, which pumps out a petrol engine-aping soundtrack, as standard in the UK.
