The forceful and individual style of the 695 biposto results from a very precise requirement: guaranteeing maximum performance without sacrificing the typical elegance of Italian style and the recognised iconic character of Abarth design.
The exterior of the new Abarth 695 biposto is distinguished by some more pronounced and "muscular" elements: the front bumper has been completely redesigned to guarantee maximum air flow, thanks to the wide aerodynamic carbon fibre insert as well as the rear bumper, "sculpted" to ensure that the carbon fibre extractor optimises the air flow and permits the installation of the Abarth by Akrapovic exhaust system. The wind tunnel sessions also led to a redesign of the rear spoiler, now more pronounced, while the strict track tests ensured maximum braking system heat dissipation thanks to the design of the "ultra-light" OZ rims.
The increased track called for a new "body kit", with widened wheel arches and specific side skirts. These too have carbon fibre inserts.
The bodywork is characterised by a brand-new matt Performance Grey colour, as if the car were created straight from the road, and further enhanced by titanium finishes for the front bonnet trim, door handles and tailgate and rear handle.
On the inside, the racing spirit of the 695 biposto takes the form of style choices that combine superior technology with attention to detail. An example? The rear titanium anti-rollbar by Poggipolini, a company famous for extremely high-precision machining and for structural and weight-reduction solutions, through the use of special alloys, to the extent of being a point of reference in the Automotive, F1 and Aerospace sectors.
The rear compartment - with no seats - is characterised by a lining in a technical material which, as with the bodywork, recalls the colour and texture of asphalt. Additionally, an "anti intrusion" net for securing luggage and the four-point seat belts are attached to the anti-rollbar, in both cases with a racing flavour and made by Sabelt, international reference brand in the world of racing and technical partner of many professional drivers and teams.
The mark of Sabelt is also to be found on the anatomical seats: they're "Abarth Corsa by Sabelt" with composite or carbon fibre shell, with upholstery comprising electro-welded Alcantara and titanium-coloured leather with brand-new colours and finishes for an Abarth.
Certain details highlight the degree of care and passion that went into making the car: inside the door handle is a red strip made out of the same material as the 4-point seats belts, an oddment net complements the front door panel and the identification plate on the central console can be personalised with the name of the customer.
On the outside, the aerial elimination hole is sealed with a milled aluminium cap with the 695 biposto logo, the rear light surround is black to ensure maximum exterior harmony and the weave of the carbon fibre has been arranged symmetrically to create an "arrow", symbol of dynamism and the sport attitude of the 695 biposto.
