This time, the message is much clearer. Olivier Fran\u00e7ois, CEO of Fiat and Abarth, confirms unequivocally that\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/en\/abarth\/\">Abarth<\/a> needs to bring back at least one internal-combustion model. This is a strong stance that confirms what enthusiasts have been saying ever since the brand switched to the all-electric %. But between this conviction and a car actually hitting the market, there remains a major obstacle: as of now, it still doesn\u2019t add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stellantis's messaging is evolving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In several public statements over the past few weeks, Olivier Fran\u00e7ois has reiterated the same point. \u00abI remain convinced of one thing: Abarth needs at least one gasoline-powered model in its lineup.\u00bb More recently, he confirmed this even more clearly to the French media <em>L'Argus<\/em> : \u00abAbarth needs internal combustion engines. That\u2019s very clear. We\u2019re working on it.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shift in tone is far from insignificant. Since the discontinuation of the Abarth 595 and 695, the brand now offers only the electric 500e and 600e models. This strategy has never truly won over long-time customers, who are just as attached to performance as they are to the mechanical character, the sound, and the tuning potential that have built the Scorpion\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/abarth-500e-acid-green.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/abarth-500e-acid-green.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/abarth-500e-acid-green-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/abarth-500e-acid-green-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/abarth-500e-acid-green-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Abarth 500e<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fiat 500 Remains a Headache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is that wanting to put an internal combustion engine back in an Abarth doesn\u2019t mean it can be done quickly. As Olivier Fran\u00e7ois acknowledged, the most obvious candidate\u2014the Fiat 500\u2014is also the most complicated. \u00abThe 500 is difficult,\u00bb he explains, even going so far as to mention a possible future generation planned for around 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fiat-500-hybride-moteur.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fiat-500-hybride-moteur.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fiat-500-hybride-moteur-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fiat-500-hybride-moteur-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fiat-500-hybride-moteur-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fiat 500 Hybrid Engine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason is primarily technical. The platform for the current Fiat 500 was originally designed for an electric powertrain. Fiat successfully integrated the small three-cylinder gasoline engine from the new 500 Hybrid into it, but installing a much more powerful engine\u2014one capable of bearing the Abarth badge\u2014presents an entirely different challenge. The available space under the hood, cooling requirements, and necessary modifications make the task particularly complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other possibilities remain on the table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, Stellantis isn\u2019t closing any doors. Olivier Fran\u00e7ois hints that the return of internal combustion engines may not necessarily come via the 500. \u00abIt could be the future 500, but other options remain on the table. \u00bb This statement takes on its full meaning as Fiat prepares to expand its lineup with several multi-energy models. The new Fiat Grizzly or the Fiat Grande Panda\u2014which are already available with gasoline, hybrid, and electric powertrains\u2014would offer a much more suitable platform for a future combustion-engine Abarth. An Abarth derived from these models thus appears technically much more feasible than an adaptation of the current 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-561x374.jpg 561w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-1122x748.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-531x354.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-608x405.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-758x505.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0-1152x768.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/abarth-grande-panda-0.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Unofficial illustration of the Abarth Grande Panda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A genuine commitment, but an unclear timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In just a few months, Stellantis\u2019s stance has changed dramatically. After advocating for an exclusively electric future for Abarth, the group now publicly acknowledges that a brand with such strong emotional appeal likely cannot turn its back on internal combustion engines for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this recognition alone is not enough to bring a new sports car to market. The technical constraints of the current 500, the necessary investments, and European regulations on CO\u2082 emissions continue to pose serious challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, Stellantis is now confirming what enthusiasts have been calling for for a long time: Abarth needs internal combustion engines. However, a solution does not yet exist. And while a comeback seems more likely today than it did a year ago, we\u2019ll still have to wait a long time before we see a gasoline-powered Abarth roaring down European roads again. And here at Italpassion, we believe the solution could come from Brazil, which already has a track record of creating an Abarth variant for nearly every Fiat model.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-abarth","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Stellantis reconna\u00eet qu&#039;Abarth a besoin d&#039;un moteur thermique\u2026 mais il ne rentre pas - ItalPassion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pendant des mois, les d\u00e9clarations des dirigeants d&#039;Abarth et de Fiat laissaient planer le doute.
