Beyond its sheer power, the upcoming Abarth 600e will redefine the standards of dynamism. Abarth and Stellantis Motorsport have innovated the eCMP architecture, giving birth to the new Perfo-eCMP platform. This platform is designed to ensure that the crossover handles braking, steering, and acceleration with the precision expected from a high-performance vehicle.
While specific details remain undisclosed, engineers and testers have fine-tuned the vehicle for exceptional stability and handling. Expect a performance-tuned suspension and a limited-slip differential optimized for the electric drivetrain's unique characteristics.
To manage the increased power (considering the standard 600e produces just 154 hp), Stellantis Motorsport and Abarth have equipped the newcomer with an upgraded braking system. Enlarged brake discs and an enhanced disc design offer improved fade resistance and efficient heat dissipation—a crucial aspect for a performance car.

Tires, a critical component, have benefited from Formula E racing expertise. They promise exceptional grip without compromising electric range or comfort. These tires feature a soft compound on the center and exterior, along with a polyurethane insert for noise reduction.
In terms of interior features, Abarth has highlighted "high-comfort seats with racing ergonomics." These seats are constructed using four different foams to provide excellent lateral support.
Lastly, it's worth noting that the standard Fiat 600e shares its platform and drivetrain with the Jeep Avenger. This raises the question of whether a performance version of the Avenger might also be in the pipeline.
