Picked up our 595 Turismo S4

Picked up the new car at the weekend - a series 4 595 Turismo (165), which is replacing our series 3 Abarth 595 (140).

We've gone for Modena Yellow, which just suits these so well - my FIancee is the main user of the car and she wanted something less subtle compared to the old Podium Blue - she went as far as she could in this respect!

We have black leather - the Red or Brown wouldn't work with Yellow without looking grim.

We also have 'copy' side Decals and a custom bonnet Decal, which tweaks the appearance quite nicely.


We're probably going to make a couple more changes yet too - possibly a roof wrap in Gloss black, LED registration plate lamps, upgraded headlights and then we'll consider a few other mechanical upgrades we discussed with the dealer too...
In due course, I may see if it will be possible to retrofit the 7" HD ICE unit with the Carplay functionality too!


For now, time to enjoy it!

Great colour although I’m a fan of podium blue too. If you do find a way to retrofit the larger car play stereo please share as I’d like that as well.

Looks good

Picking my first Abarth up tomorrow, a 595 Competizione, to replace an MX5 which I never really bonded with. Test drives make me think this will be different!
