Hi - Thanks for the mention and the link. Much appreciated. You're so right about the rarity factor of this edition. It was never officially offered for sale directly to the public. I do wonder if the UK amount is below 10 cars in total. The only cars I see for sale or spotted are always the same ones. I will find out soon... Mike
@@StefABtv My pleasure... I have 40 more 'interesting' cars (and counting!) to add to the site in due course... Get in touch anytime - maybe I can help with another feature - kind regards, Mike
@@howmanymade3289 Mike thanks for the Great site I use it regularly I've had loads of cars over the years good fun looking to see how many left and wishing I still had them, ha ho, all the best Jerry
I got one and the red colour is looking gorgeous live. The emotions are real, no AC, no radio, nothing. Just pure feeling and sound. You don’t get something like this today. I will keep this beast forever.
Stef, Here USA fan here. I hate we got robbed of the Abarth here stateside. I have a 2014 C Abarth and I’m building a garage around my car. I’d love to be able to experience the non US Editions. The multi air is terrible as well. I’d love to get some TJets. Is there a good aftermarket scene in the UK. Hell even wrecked parts would be salvaged and make our US cars better. I can see a good market!
@@StefABtv we have a guy in New Jersey who is very involved with the Abarth Scene. He imports DNA racing products. Have you seen the new shifter they have out. He is bringing TJet engine kits and tunes through “Old School” garage in Italy. I know he know the Abarth Family as well. It pains me to see Arakopovic exhausts go for 300.00 euro on the used market over there. You can’t get a generic model here for less than $1000.00 shipped. The fact we got the basic 595 kills me. The chance to buy a 695 Bi-Posto or the 70th Aniversario would be amazing. I think the Monster Yahmaha edition would have done well here. Everyone here is Dodge Challengers and Chargers. Then the riced out Civic crowd. You see a nice Ford RS or ST now and then. Since the Mustang has gone to $65k there isn’t an entry level sort car anymore. I guess we have the Hyundai Velociter NSpec.. I’ve often though of comping to the UK on a buying trip and ship back to the states. I’m sure there would be tons of TJet parts in salvage yards seeming the number of Abarth there.
@@behindtheseeyesiseewhatyou8953 In Europe we cant have nice US things either. Because our both governments hate nice things. :( And because of protectionism, and because the customers are biased.
I didn't know there was a red Biposto. It's not at all frequent to see an Abarth 695 Biposto, even in matt grey or yellow. The only one I have ever seen is mine. May be it's a good investment. I will see when I will decide to sell it (not anytime soon, it's such a fun car to drive).
Stef good morning, I thought the Ferrari dealer loan cars, were the red twin striped 160 bhp cars, ide seen that red Biposto on Autotrader a while ago thought it was a dealer special one-off. On the Biposto subject, I note there are 6 records and only 2 mattys on Autotrader. These cars look fantastic BUT at the end of the day, they are Track Cars No aircon radio rear seats, rock hard and mainly broken Extreme suspension, ( I've fitted KW variant 3 miles better ) so if you used one for the everyday commute, Good luck your a braver man or lady than me. AII the best Jerry
I still remember this going back to 2010 I believe when I was doing work experience at the look local fiat abarth garage in Romford the dealer had about 10 cars available
@@StefABtv Well, that is very true mate. Stef, I know it is an "old" car, but if by chance you manage to get hands on a Fiat Barchetta, can you do a video with it? Regards
I was aware of these being a massive fan of Abarth! I didn’t know that there were only 99 made, that Rosso red on the biposto must look so gorgeous in the flesh with all those body lines the glossy paint just sets it off!!!!! There’s one on auto trader for about £43k
I saw one of these at my local c&c last year. My friend and I wondered around and around for ages as we couldn't decide what it was, and the owner couldn't be found to ask. Had look it up when I came home. Haven't seen it since or another one. No wonder.!
Never heard of this one either Stef ! In Oz there are 2 std Biposto's for sale for a whopping 36,000 pounds and 48,000 pounds !!! Hey Carly arrived and is working fine removed two fault codes caused by the TMC Box being outside parameters if only it talked to you aswell maybe it soon will !
I would love to have this in my garage, i already have a 595 Pista (in uk you say Trofeo), but the Biposto, as an italian, it is so beautiful and rare. Please if anyone has this car, treat it like a queen, amd use them as low as possible, their value will be incredible!
Okay that is pretty cool! Not gonna lie there are so many cars out there that most of us don't even know about 🤣 i love it! It's what makes it special too! Love the video too... wasn't expecting the link to Ferrari on not selling for months... but 45k?! For an abarth but if it's only a limited edition then it doesn't shock me.. 99 made so that makes it even MORE COOL!!!!
@@StefABtv i agree! I mean yeah okay 99 made but you just can't justify that price.. not in a million years but I'm guessing that's what makes it so special!
It is a lovely colour not too dissimilar to my Abarth 595 Comp which is a much better red than my previous Abarth 595 140bhp edition. I would be very surprised if there was very little depreciation in the used car market when it comes to selling these on. Lovely colour and the different detailing is nice but apart from that and the rarity factor what is different from the other bipostos? Must be very expensive paint 🤔
Yes, very rare and a keeper. "Offi-cheenee" is the correct pronunciation even if you are English! In the same way you would not drink a Sin-zarno - but a Chin-zarno (may not drink it anyway!).
Many Ferrari owners have an Abarth in the garage as well as a more practical small city car. Even their own F1 drivers have these. :-)) The Abarth gets a lot of attention, but a Ferrari is a whole different story. People can get really annoying if they see one and you have to be much more cautious about the car. So if you just want to drive into the city for some shopping or a meeting, the Abarth is the way to go. So I really doubt that Ferrari customers would be mad since most of them dont drive their Ferraris for long distances anyway because depreciation is crazy on those. Okay, maybe some of them might not that pleased...
Hi Stef, one of the rarest Bipostos made is the ABARTH 695 BIPOSTO ANDREA IANNONE edition with 29 units made. Here is the link of the dealer. It has brembo brakes in yellow color. I think the sound system was'nt installed in the original version. www.houseofbikers.it/prodotto/fiat-abarth-695-biposto-andrea-iannone/
Hi Stefano! Thanks for the video:) I wonder what you think about the alfa giulietta maserati edition. I have one my self since 2012. I'm very happy with it, but I am also veeeery interested in the giulia quadrifoglio, and not sure if I should sell my giuly or just keep her as an investment for the future🙈. Would appreciate your thoughts. Keep it up! Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭
So anyway... I see much love for the Abarth, but no sign at all of Alfa's attempt at a rival, the Mito. Is this a conscious avoidance, a dislike. Or just another car you have not really paid attention to?
Won't be a popular comment im sure. I'm not sure these cars are even that special. with very little performance improvement over standard cars does not make it special. I'm sure the paint is very nice but abarth missed many opportunities to actually make a truly special car. They blame emissions but other manufacturers have been innovative. Not to mention the ridiculous rrp even today let alone on release.
Well, the success proves them right. The 500 is a strange car. It is basicly a Fiat Punto, but with a retro design and for a higher price tag. But most of the customers didnt buy the Punto, they bought the 500. And this applies also to the Abarth models. Its not a matter of performance. Its so much more. With little effort they are bringing more and more special editions to the market, which is highly profitable for them. Without the 500 and the 595/695 FCA would have been already bankrupt in my opinion. Unlike the other special editions the Biposto is truely special. The quality of the materials is soooo much better. So much carbon fibre. Lightweight glass, the dog box transmission...
@@Gentleman...Driver I think you've summed it up. 'very little effort' has been given to all their special editions. The biposto has a few special parts to look at, as a performance machine which I'm fairly sure its meant to be its lacking even on release.

This next electric 500 needs a petrol powered abarth version. I would love to see a Yaris GRMN rival. Anybody’s else agree?
Will have to see what Abarth being out next. Crossed its a different chassis

Great to see them being driven and not just being locked away
@@StefABtv he’s also got an Alfa 4C

Alfa Romeo did something similar with Maserati and there’s some Alfa Mito Maserati editions that were loaners
It’s a cool concept for sure :)

Is that a chance you can test drive the yarris gr and let us know if that is better or more fun than the 595 competition? 🙏🙏
