Officially on sale from 2012, the hot 500 evolved into the 595 and 695 range with up to about 132 kW from its 1.4 turbo. A loud Record Monza exhaust and go-kart feel earned it a following out of scale with its sales. Global petrol production ended in 2024 and the last local stock sold through before Abarth followed Fiat out of South Africa.
