Now here’s something truly special—number 168 of just 499 examples ever built. Yes, that’s right, fewer than five hundred of these rolling gems were crafted, making this not just a car, but a piece of modern Italian automotive history. And what a spectacular history it is! Painted in the breathtaking Maserati hue of Pontevecchio Bordeaux, paired with sumptuous Avorio Sabbia Beige Poltrona Frau leather, this limited edition is dripping with elegance, exclusivity, and a touch of flamboyance only Italy could produce. With only 56,000 kilometers, this example is as good as it looks and in fantastic condition throughout. The Abarth 695 Maserati Edizione was first revealed to the public at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012, dazzling crowds with its deep, three-layer Bordeaux finish. Though its debut had been delayed—it was meant for Geneva earlier that year—the wait was worth it. This was more than a show car; it was the official signal that Abarth was stepping into a new world of bespoke craftsmanship with the “Fuori Serie” program. In fact, the original name, “Tributo Maserati,” was scrapped in favor of “Edizione” just before release. Such last-minute refinements already hinted at the obsessive attention to detail behind the project. But here’s the thing—many “limited editions” are little more than decals and badges, a marketing ploy dressed up in chrome. Not this one. The Abarth 695 Edizione Maserati was a true collector’s piece, every inch of it carefully curated. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine was tuned to a lively 180 horsepower, enough to make this compact cabriolet feel like a rocket darting through Italian backstreets. The soundtrack came courtesy of a Monza performance exhaust, redesigned with Maserati-inspired hexagonal tips. And stopping power? Delivered by Brembo brakes, because a car this fast deserves equally serious anchors. Look closer and the Maserati DNA reveals itself in subtle but powerful ways. The 17-inch Neptune alloy wheels, borrowed from the Maserati GranTurismo and resized for the Abarth arches, transform the stance of the car. The soft top, finished in titanium gray, folds away at the touch of a button, turning this fiery hatch into a boulevard cruiser in seconds. Xenon headlights with washers, fog lamps, and spot lamps came standard, because—why compromise? Step inside and the indulgence continues. Poltrona Frau leather seats wrap you in luxury, their Sabbia Beige hue glowing against carbon fiber trim and gleaming chrome accents. The steering wheel, flat-bottomed and wrapped in two-tone leather, feels every bit the sports car it aspires to be. Unique Jaeger-LeCoultre instrument dials keep time with precision, while the numbered plaque reminds you of the rarity in your hands. Even the floor mats, handbook supplement, and embossed headrests were tailor-made for this edition. This is not just another limited edition. It is a celebration of Italy’s emotive brands, a meeting point where Abarth’s fiery spirit and Maserati’s refined luxury embrace. For collectors, enthusiasts, and connoisseurs, the 2013 Abarth 695 C Edizione Maserati stands as proof that sometimes—just sometimes—the special editions really are special.
