Driving the First 2019 Abarth 595 Esseesse in the UK *Exclusive*

The stunning Abarth 595 esseesse is back, breathing new life into a name deeply rooted in the brand's history. A success repeated in 2009 by the original “esseesse” tuning kit for the new Abarth 500, which appeared in 2008. The tuning increased the engine's power to 160 HP and modified the suspension setup, with Eibach lowering springs, alongside a higher-powered braking system and other clearly racing-inspired contents.
Today, 10 years later, the iconic “esseesse” returns to the top of the Abarth range, and is equipped with the brand's most powerful 180 HP engine. In the best Abarth tradition, this 595 is made truly special by specific standard equipment that provides an exciting driving experience, always accompanied by the unmistakable deep roar of the Abarth by Akrapovic exhaust system, custom-developed, which combines outstanding performance with an exciting sound. To increase power delivery to the front wheels, a mechanical limited slip differential has been fitted to the esseessee as standard.
A huge thanks to Abarth UK for inviting me to drive this brand new car.
