This Italeri 1/12 replica models both the Fiat Abarth 695SS and the Assetto Corsa racing variant, giving builders a compact but detailed subject to assemble. The kit pays tribute to the Fiat "Nuova 500", produced between 1957 and 1975 and celebrated for its simple, effective design.
Abarth enhancements transformed the little 689 cm3 unit into a feisty performer, with period reports of top speeds near 140 km/h. The Assetto Corsa further sharpened the car for competitive use, and the model reflects these upgrades in miniature form.
With updated moulds, the Italeri kit includes functional details such as an openable bonnet and boot, steerable wheels, and working suspension. Options to display doors and the roof open add presentation variety, while rubber tyres and chromed plus photoetched parts lift the realism.
