After a few years ago having proposed an Abarth 595 with 410 hp, the preparer Pogea Racing decided to go back to work based on the spirited city and the result was the Abarth 595 Hercules.
This time the transformation was much less radical but, perhaps, more usable in everyday life. But let's go by parts and let's start with what has changed on the exterior of the 595 Hercules.
With this transformation the Abarth 595 gained “muscle”. To this end, it received a new hood with large air intakes, wider mudguards, new side skirts and a sizable rear wing. It goes without saying that all these pieces are made of carbon fiber.
And under the hood, what changes?
As we told you, this new transformation of the Abarth 595 carried out by Pogea Racing was a little more orthodox than the one we talked about at the beginning of the text.

In this way, the power rose to the 220 hp and the binary for the 350 Nm , numbers more impressive than the already respectable 180 hp and 250 Nm that the 595 Competizione offers as standard. All of this allows the devilish Italian model to reach 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.2s and reach a maximum speed of 232 km/h.
To achieve this power boost, Pogea Racing offered the Abarth 595 Hercules a new engine management unit, a Monsterexhaust exhaust and a 200-cell downpipe. As an option, it is even possible to equip the 595 Hercules with exhaust insulation to reduce the temperature in the engine compartment.
What else changes?
As you would expect, following the new look and the increased power offered to the Abarth 595 Hercules we also find an improvement in ground connections.
Equipped with a coilover suspension kit, the 595 Hercules has a 45mm lower center of gravity compared to standard models. In addition, it also has 18” forged wheels equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
What is the price of all this? Not counting the price of the Abrth 595 that has to be purchased separately, the transformation amounts to 18 810 euros to which the respective taxes have yet to be applied.
