2011 FIAT TRIBUTO FERRARI 695

For sale is a 2011 Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari. One of only 30 Ferrari Tributo special edition models imported to Australia. There's no howling Ferrari V8 sitting under the bonnet, but a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder equipped with a special fixed-vane Garrett turbocharger and a dual mode variable back-pressure exhaust system which adds some Italian punch above 3000rpm. In Rosso Corsa paintwork with Grey Scuderia stripes, this pocket rocket is now for sale from Melbourne, Victoria.

Fiat's Abarth 695 Ferrari Tributo's engine produces an extra 14kW for a total of 132kW and 20Nm more torque for a total of 250Nm. Pretty impressive when you consider that this car weighs about 1000kg!

The engine is hooked up to a special C510 version of the five-speed Dualogic automated manual, which is controlled by steering wheel mounted paddles and has been tuned to shift faster than the regular version found in the Fiat 500.

The combination of this transmission and the rorty engine has enough grunt down low but rewards the driver all the way to 6000rpm. There is a delicious mix of induction howl and exhaust bark at the higher end of the rev range too. In Sport mode the transmission bangs the changes like a race car, adding to the thrill of acceleration.

Abarth, which is Fiat's tuning arm, overhauled the suspension for the Tributo. It sits lower than the standard Fiat 500 thanks to shorter springs and also has firmer Koni dampers allowing the Tributo to dispense some far more potent machines on a suitably twisty road.

The Ferrari Tributo is equipped with four-piston front Brembos with 305mm discs helping the micro Ferrari pull up like a race car.

On the inside, Abarth has gone to town with the carbon fibre fitting the 695 with special Sabelt carbon fibre racing seats, carbon fibre on the dashboard, on the transmission selection panel, the B-pillars, the front bumper lip and on the wing mirrors. There is a chunky flat-bottomed steering wheel with a red white and green strip at the top dead centre and buttons on the carbon fibre selector panel, for first, neutral and reverse gears as well as for selecting automatic or manual mode. There is also a Sport button that is both for the engine and transmission tune.

There is also a grippy aluminium footplate for the passenger, a turbo boost gauge and an instrument cluster that was designed by Ferrari. The Tributo also gets ESC, seven airbags, bi-Xenon headlights, tinted windows, a dual zone climate control system and a premium sound system with Bluetooth phone connectivity.

In stunning Rosso Corsa paintwork with Grey Scuderia style stripes, this 695 Fiat has covered a genuine 41,226 Kilometres from new and is supplied with log books and owners manuals plus full Abarth service history, the Ferrari Tributo kit and a luggage bag. There is also Dealer Edition badging, a special Ferrari Tributo key and of the Build Number Plaque.

According to the current owner, this 695 is an absolute hoot to drive thanks to its fun little engine, engaging gearbox and it's links to Ferrari.

With Victoria registration until June 2025. 69-Five plates available by negotiation. For sale from Melbourne, Victoria. (Ref: 6580)
