A FIAT 500 that can ride the waves: now it’s a reality. Anyone who wants to take it to sea will now be able to do so: here’s how
Cars, sooner or later, will fly and sail. How many times in the past have we heard these phrases and how many times even in our days. Well, we’re almost there. In fact, one was born FIAT 500 that can sail the waters of all seas. A very original idea that will probably be very successful. Is called Abarth Offshore and had its world premiere at the Top Marques 2024 in Monaco. It celebrates 75 years of the Abarth brand and is produced in just 500 examples. We don’t know how much it will cost, but it’s a real gem. A unique model, the result of the collaboration between Centro Stile Fiat, Abarth and Car Off Shore.
The Abarth Offshore is a motorboat in all respects, but with a bold metallic green bodywork that recalls a 500 in every way and which becomes iridescent in the sunlight. The details are in dark hazelnut and add a touch of class and sportiness. The engine is water-jet and offers extraordinary performance, with a power of up to 230 horsepower. The exhausts are Riva and produce a fascinating sound, typical of Abarth cars. Production takes place in Naples by Car Off Shore. It almost looks like a convertible model of the Scorpio.
The quality of the materials is of the highest level. The stern also includes a recessed steel ladder and a double sundeck, which guarantees maximum comfort for guests. The railing follows the bold lines of the boat from stern to bow. Inside it is equipped with Besenzoni sports seats, with ergonomic quilted leather backrest and four-point seat belts, mounted on a steel support base, cushioned by Wave Shock.

Even technologically speaking, the Abarth Offshore is at the cutting edge. The stereo system is Garmin with RGB LEDs, four Fusion speakers and a subwoofer that uses the dashboard as a sound box. The sound experience is of the highest quality. The boat, just like a car, can be further customized with fishing or sports equipment, making it versatile depending on its uses.
The Abarth Offshore is a dream come true for the many enthusiasts who see Abarth as a unique brand and also for all lovers of the 500. A way to have style even in the water without sacrificing sportiness and power. It combines Abarth’s automotive experience with nautical innovation. It’s not just a means of transport, it’s a work of art that celebrates the history of the Abarth brand. Production is limited to 500 examples, but it is destined to become a historic piece, a symbol of luxury and performance.
Two seemingly different worlds, such as the track and the sea, can come together to create something wonderful. For those who have a passion for boating and motoring, this piece is truly unique and unmissable.
