Interior features include a 10.25in infotainment screen (with sat-nav on Scorpionissima versions) and a 7in instrument cluster.
Both models feature adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and drowsy driver detection, while Scorpionissima spec comes with Level 2 Assisted Driving.
Prices start at £36,975 for the base Abarth 600e, and rise to £41,975 for the Scorpionissima version.
