Considered the rarest and most desirable of the Biposto range, this pocket-rocket is not to be confused with the regular Ferrari Tributo of 2011. The Rosso Officina models were special Ferrari dealership 'Service Cars', designed as a courtesy car for Ferrari dealers with a strict no sale clause for its first six months of service. They were based on the Abarth 695 Biposto having been subject to a comprehensive diet, with everything from the rear seats to the audio system removed and door cards to headlamps replaced with light weight items. The turbocharged 4 cylinder engine produces close to 190hp and is transferred to the road via a 5-speed manual gearbox to 18in OZ alloys shod from new with bespoke 215/35 Goodyears. The 0-62mph of 5.9 seconds was impressive, particularly when combined with the thrilling and provocative note from the Akrapovic exhaust system.

This splendid example, number 80 of 90, is finished in the only available colour of Rosso Red. It was first delivered to Germany, and then exported to the UK where it has resided since 2017. Purchased by our Italian vendor at a renowned London based dealer in July last year, it was destined for his personal use when in the UK but due to his work schedule he never used the car and it always remained in a professional storage facility, hence it is offered for sale with us now. The car currently registers less than 7,500km. It comes with V5C registration document, service book and manual, certificate of authenticity issued by Abarth, and various service invoices. A rare chance to purchase what must be the ultimate incarnation of the Fiat Abarth Biposto catalogue, and certainly a great deal of fun.
