Transmission Options for FIAT Abarth Models

In addition to the above, the FIAT Abarth models are available with either a standard 6-speed manual or optional heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission. To unlock these driving options in Chico, choose either the FIAT 500 Abarth or FIAT 124 Spider Abarth, and build your vehicle with one of the following transmissions:

• 6-Speed Manual: A short-throw shifter reduces the distance the gear lever has to travel between gears, resulting in better performance.
• Heavy-Duty 6-Speed Automatic: This transmission delivers higher torque capability than your run-of-the-mill 6-speed. It also includes Sport Mode for even sportier driving in Anderson.

More on the Single-Speed Transmission

Single-speed transmission is designed for all-electric models and can be found exclusively on the FIAT 500e. This system transfers electric power to the wheels, resulting in reduced battery use and more eco-friendly energy, all while still delivering the same energetic driving performance, acceleration, and torque that you’d expect in a FIAT.
