A highly exclusive version of the Abarth 500 has gone on sale in the UK, with just 50 examples of the model destined for these shores.

Price at £15,990 on-the-road, the eye-catching Abarth 500 Bi-Colore Edition boasts a unique two-tone paint featuring Scorpione Black over Record Grey. The look is completed by 17-inch, 10-spoke diamond finish alloy wheels, fog lights, satin steel twin exhausts and rear privacy glass as standard. Inside are Abarth sports seats with natural leather trim, leather steering wheel, Dualdrive electric power steering with Sport function, climate control, six-speaker CD and MP3 player, and the Blue&Me hands free system.

The Abarth 500 Bi-Colore Edition is powered by the 135bhp, 1.4-litre, 16-valve Turbo T-Jet engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the same combination found in the Abarth 500 Custom. As a result, the 500 Bi-Colore Edition goes from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds and to a top speed of 127 mph, while still returning a combined fuel economy of 47.1 mpg.

Gerry Southerington, Head of Brand at Abarth UK said: "The Bi-Colore colours across the Abarth range have already proved popular with our customers, and this exclusive Black over Grey edition is a particularly good example of how striking the cars can look, so with just 50 available in the UK, anyone looking for something special, with top quality equipment included as standard, should move quickly to secure this latest Abarth Bi-Colore."
