The exclusive Abarth dealer for Paris, Neubauer Abarth, has announced a limited-edition Abarth 500, dubbed SpeedGrey which will come in a run of just 10 units and will feature higher specifications plus individual decaling. As might be expected from the name, the small car will only come in one colour grey and to create uniqueness for the project, "Gris Maserati" is derived from the Trident brand to offer a very distinct and eye-catching theme for this small handful of cars.

The Abarth 500 Neubauer SpeedGrey will be based around the 500 1.4 Turbo version fitted with the extreme "esseesse" kit that offers a potent 160 bhp. It will also come fitted with Abarth's special high performance quad-tailpipe "Record Monza" exhaust system. Inside, the 500 Neubauer SpeedGrey will feature a pair of the sporty "Abarth Corsa by Sabelt" seats, these lightweight offerings featuring distinctive red stitching and red "Abarth" logo that is complemented by similar stitched trimming on the instrument cover and gearknob. It will also be highly specified, including the Blue&Me Map infotelematic package.

On the B-pillar of the 500 Neubauer SpeedGrey a dedicated logo, that mimics an aircraft-style fuel filler cap, details that this is one of the ten Neubauer Speedgrey "limited edition" models. An Abarth shield is affixed to the rear 3/4 panel below the rear side window line. A further unique stamp on this car will come from the new darker-tinted glass which is also toughened to ward off intruders.
