Stellantis Heritage and Club Italia present the Abarth 695 Club Italia, an exclusive eight-model series reserved to members of the prestigious association which preserves the creative legacy of Italian automobiles with a special emphasis on style, technology, design, craftsmanship, and sporting tradition.
Uncoincidentally, these values are seamlessly aligned with the mission of Heritage, the department which preserves and promotes the immense heritage of the Group’s Italian car brands through its invaluable collection on display at the Heritage Hub in Turin, participation in international events, and an extensive range of exclusive services. Among its offerings are Certificates of Origin and Authenticity, full restorations, and the creation of bespoke models through the 'Reloaded by Creators' program, which restores the original beauty of classic Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, and Abarth vehicles and creates one-off or small-series collector’s cars.
The eight exclusive Abarth 695 Club Italia are also part of Stellantis Heritage’s “Reloaded by Creators" program, but with one key distinction: they are the result of the transformation of new, albeit discontinued, cars which have become one-of-a-kind collector’s pieces thanks to the experts of the Officine Classiche. Furthermore, Alessandro Ravera, Stellantis Heritage Special Vehicles Manager, stated that they were very much on the same page with Club Italia while developing the new special edition. Together, they created a vehicle that instantly reflected the Club’s distinctive style, including a livery inspired by sketches from Club Italia president, Stefano Macaluso.
Roberto Giolito, Head of Stellantis Heritage for the Group’s Italian brands, states: “When passion, culture, and expertise come together, we can create models which are capable of standing the test of time. The Abarth 695 Club Italia is a tribute to Italian automotive culture and allows one to connect with this thrilling tradition. It was really incredible to see how our collaboration with Club Italia gave life to this one-of-a-kind Abarth. I am confident that Stellantis Heritage will continue to develop more exclusive initiatives like this one, producing unique or limited-edition vehicles which preserve the legacy and identity of our Brands, while always keeping the excellence and passion of Italian automobile tradition alive.”
The Club Italia special series stands out with its unique two-tone livery. The upper part in blue is separated by the lower part in green by a thin red line: a refined color combination which calls back to Club Italia’s colors.
The elegant and unmistakable look is finished off with bronze 17” alloy wheels, matching mirror caps, and Club Italia badges. A masterpiece in customization, the interiors feature racing bucket seats covered in a special tobacco-color leather and a leather and Alcantara steering wheel with carbon inserts and a customizable top center marker. Moreover, in yet another example of the exclusivity offered by Abarth Classiche, the Club Italia logo can be found both on the dashboard’s Sport button and stitched on the seats.
The vehicles belong to the final production combustion-engine run of the 695 and preserve the model’s technical and dynamic characteristics. Its exhilarating performance—acceleration from 0 to 100 in just 6.7 seconds and a 225 km/h top speed—is enhanced by the stacked Record Monza exhaust system, the Koni FSD suspensions, and the Brembo braking system with red calipers and floating discs.
Each Abarth 695 Club Italia will come with an Abarth Classiche Certificate of Authenticity with a metal label, a certification book, and two identification nameplates—one in the interiors and one in the engine compartment—with the owner’s name and the limited-edition number.
Founded in 1985, Club Italia has developed a distinct aesthetic language for its brand over the years, opting for the balanced use of blue, green, and red colors which make all of the club’s products instantly recognizable. Moreover, in the early Nineties, the prestigious association collaborated with the leading Italian brands to produce a special series of cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and watches which were reserved exclusively to its members. The most famous models include the legendary 1992 Lancia Delta Integrale Club Italia, the 1996 Fiat Barchetta Club Italia, and the more recent Alfa Romeo 4C Club Italia and Maserati MC20 Club Italia. All of these projects have been love letters to automotive mechanics, Italian style, and the desire to create one-of-a-kind pieces destined to become part of the collective imagination. Today, thanks to the collaboration with Stellantis Heritage, the Abarth 695 Club Italia is yet another creation designed to bring the values of beauty and Italian craftsmanship to roads around the world.
