The Abarth 595 and 695 models have once again been crowned as the «Best Car 2024» in the Mini Cars category by the readers of «Auto Motor und Sport,» a leading German automotive magazine. This marks the 8th occasion that these iconic vehicles from the Scorpion brand have received this prestigious accolade, underscoring their enduring appeal and international success within the hot hatch segment.
