Finally watched this. I enjoyed your commentary and narrative of the footage. Very entertaining and thank you for the coverage on my 595c Bicolour 'Bespoke Programme'. I am delighted with the outcome so far.
Thanks for showing us around Stef Gutted I missed the 70th, I had to work :( Another fantastic video dude!!! LOVE the new 'esseesse', in campovolo grey too?? VERY NIIIICE!! & to anyone who hasnt seen it, this brilliant video doesnt do Eds' car justice. It is an AWESOME example of true Abarth love. But gotta say, The 695 biposto???? Those STILL make my knees go, absolutely STUNNING. THANKS Stef, I really enjoyed that Your friend & fan, Canada Carl!!!
The interior of Ed's car is next level!!! I totally agree with you and those others who have said that this generation of the 595 range needed more power, do you think that Abarth don't want to make this range faster than the 695 biposto?
I’m not sure. They stopped biposto sales a while ago so shouldn’t be held to ransom over that car. Next 595/695 I would like to see over 200bhp. Fingers crossed!
Mechanical diff is optional, but you can buy it alone (without performance pack), because the car comes with carbon seats covers. Other optionals: bi-xeno, carbon dashboard and GRIGIO ASFALTO paint. Nothing more should be added. Base price is Competition +3k, but if you fully spec both the esseesse is not a bad deal and it has Akrapovic...
Really nice group of cars! All of them look stunning in one way or another. Stef I have two questions: would you ever consider owning an Abarth again? And would you buy an Alfa Giulietta QV?
Absolutely would. I almost bought a 124 spider but managed to get into a alfa 4c so naturally went for my dream car. If I had the money I would daily an abarth 595 and use the 4c as a weekend toy
What a gorgeous car. Glad to be a part of the abarth club. Just got my 500 abarth 2 months ago. Just worried about this cars reliability. It gets a pretty bad wrap.
I’ve always wanted the 4c. I would have got in a 4c eventually and the price difference between the two thanks to my finance guy was not that much so I went straight for the 4c
I think everyone shares the opinion that Abarth need to release more power or a power upgrade option for the 1446 turbo. It could do 200bhp easy as people are tuning these turbos to 230bhp and they are reliable
@@StefABtv thanks for reply. But my point was that you spec all that (granted badges and seat embroidery you can't). Certainly I've got a very complete spec'd comp (literally everything bar carbon seats as wife didn't get on with them). I want there to be things on this which go beyond. For example I've got a carbon dash. I'd love it if they put on OEM carbon exterior trim trim like a diffuser or front splitter. Don't get me wrong I love my car. But I first drove a early gen Abarth with an essesse kit, roll cage when they first launched and it just seemed more raw and special.
I love watching your videos but it makes me sad to see all the great European Abarth models, since the North American models are horrible. They don't have many models especially as many that you have, and then the options for the cars available are also very poor. I looked into getting a European model shipped to Canada and they won't allow it due to road certification issues. Really makes me sad. Keep up the great videos.
Stef ABtv no that’s just my clever guess. Not that I’m clever so take it with a pinch of salt. Just finished detailing my trofeo and it’s raining. My luck lol
See Bert is still kicking about in his poverty spec 124. Be sure to purchase from the AOC store so he can not send the thing you bought out to you. A slither of shite on an other wise brilliant car scene. Not impressed with Abarth at all recently. They really need to stop going through the parts bin and bring out a proper new abarth 595 with more power. I expected it from the 124 and it ended up a colossal disappointment which lead me to another car brand.
Brian Woods I’m sorry you still feel this way. Not sure how my 124 is considered a “poverty spec” when it has all available options fitted, as well as probably being one of the few cars they managed to sell without a single £1 of discount! Hope your comp is still going well
@@Scenyx7260 and he has bitten! Sold it 4 months ago, moved to the dark side. I'd have loved another but the lack of proper performance from factory has been disappointing the last 3 years. The 124 was the nail in the coffin for me with all things abarth, massive waste of such a good opportunity. Price has become ridiculous for what is on offer these days as well. Hopeful they bring something up to date to the market by the time I'm shopping for another car.

Thanks buddy! Yep eds car is something else!
*hope you enjoyed the vid guys! Smash the like if you did! It really helps! Follow me on Instagram: @stef_abtv*
Hi Stef
Any chance you'd have a link to Ben website . Interested in the MTA pack . Cheers mate
It doesn't matter really, they won't send any of these to the U.S. ever anyway. But it is nice to see.
Thanks for showing
I do love an Abarth , editing / cinematic is top notch
Thank you buddy

Nice content as always, I am keenly awaiting your review of the Alfa 4C, it must be epic.
It’s insane :) will film it this weekend

Yeah I really like the esseesse. I think it will sell well
Thanks Stef. Very enjoyable mate👍🇦🇺
Thanks for watching bud

I was annoyed I missed this meet...I'm now GUTTED! 😭
It was good fun that day!
the boost gage is awesome, love the one on mine!
Never gelled with it personally lol. Too big and looks a bit too much like a toy gauge.
@@StefABtv fair enough
What a gorgeous car. Glad to be a part of the abarth club. Just got my 500 abarth 2 months ago. Just worried about this cars reliability. It gets a pretty bad wrap.
Great video Stef - Abarth SS looks great :)
Thanks mate 🙌🙌
All those Abarts 😍😍🦂 carporn level over 9000
Haha thanks man
Stef ABtv haha np, keep up the great work!
That blue carbon fiber looks sick...😎
Agree! :)
your vidoes are actually pretty good!
Thank you 🙌
Awesome video. Mate. Stunning motors
Thank you man
👍Abarth heaven ❤
Why did you buy the Alfa instead of the 124 stef? Only because I’m thinking of buying a 124
I’ve always wanted the 4c. I would have got in a 4c eventually and the price difference between the two thanks to my finance guy was not that much so I went straight for the 4c
Try some Grande Punto Abarth please
They are on another planet for driving pleasure
Yeah really do need to drive a punto abarth
Driven loads of 500s & 124s but I've never driven the Abarth Punto so I would be very interested in a video on that. New mission for you Stef!
@@aclmotorsport4420 Gpa way better than the evo.. except the gearbox
@@LorenzoClara97 thought they'd be much the same
@@aclmotorsport4420 I have a Gpa and tried many evos. Yes but the engine is way different
Dope abarth edits
🙌🙌
Can you spec the dog ring box on any of the new 595's?
Stef, my wife informs me your original pronunciation of essesse was correct. ie. essay essay
Whoop! Thanks man. So many people said I was saying it wrong in the first video lol.
Hi Steph what’s that guy on about with the MTA BOX any contact info regards John
@abarth500gto on insta. HRE tuning do a lot of development and off products for the Abarth range. Drop him a lot on insta 👍🏻👍🏻
So - the new esse esse has a different exhaust and some stuck on bits. Personally I would prefer more power. What a missed opportunity.
I think everyone shares the opinion that Abarth need to release more power or a power upgrade option for the 1446 turbo. It could do 200bhp easy as people are tuning these turbos to 230bhp and they are reliable
Sick
That camber isn’t to much at all! It looks tidy, it’s when it starts to go jdm style “collapsed suspension” stance its to much. haha. 🙌🏻
😂
I dont really understand the esseesse.. can someone explain me where it sits in the line up? Is it below the Competizione?
LifeOfDaan Above Competizione
It’s the top of the range 595
Stef ABtv namewise? Or specs also? It’s still 180bhp?
Greg Lamb yes still 180 bhp
Looks like the ABARTH font is larger???
Don’t think it is mate. Looks pretty similar to me
You may be used to the old graphics. The 2016+ models have a slighly different style of lines and font compared to the old ones.
As a 595 Comp owner it's such a shame these specials beit 695s (or whatever this essesse real is) hasn't got all the bells and whistles.
It’s the top of the range 595 now. Sits above the comp now. All be it has the same power
@@StefABtv thanks for reply. But my point was that you spec all that (granted badges and seat embroidery you can't).

Yeah it's definitely pronounced 'essa-essay' (or close to that) not 'ess-ess'. 😉
👏👏👏👏 I thought so 😂
25k mate
Thanks man. Is that confirmed or estimated to be?
Stef ABtv no that’s just my clever guess. Not that I’m clever so take it with a pinch of salt. Just finished detailing my trofeo and it’s raining. My luck lol
