IXO's 1:18 diecast Abarth 500e captures Fiat's electric hot hatch in blue. A modern, compact piece that brings the Mini Performance segment right up to the present day.
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Abarth 500e reproduces the electric hot hatch in blue. Zinc-alloy construction and the 500's compact hatchback shape make it a small, contemporary addition to a Mini Performance shelf, distinct from the petrol Abarths that came before it.
The 500e marks Abarth's move into electric power, and IXO's diecast takes on that transition without pretending it is anything other than a modern city car with sporting pretensions.
IXO's Diecast Take on the 500e
The metal body gives the small hatchback proper weight in hand, a useful reminder that diecast at this scale still carries real material presence even on a compact subject. The blue paint sits evenly across the curved panels, and Abarth's scorpion badging and characteristic wheel arches translate clearly at 1:18. Panel gaps around the doors and hatch stay reasonably tight for the price tier, and typical opening features let a collector view a simplified cabin. Because the 500e is a current-production car, the model works from up-to-date reference rather than archival material, and the shape reads accurately against the real hatchback's stubby, rounded profile.
Placing an Electric Abarth in a Modern Collection
At 1:18 the 500e takes a small footprint, similar to other city-car-based hot hatches, so it slots easily alongside other compact performance models without dominating a shelf. For collectors tracking Abarth's history, this piece marks a clear turning point away from the turbocharged petrol formula toward electric performance, and pairing it with an earlier 500 Abarth on the same shelf tells that story directly. Blue is a distinctive, non-default colour choice for the model that stands out among the more common red and white Abarth liveries. This is a modern, accessibly priced diecast rather than a limited investment piece, and it earns its place through relevance rather than rarity, a sensible pickup for anyone following where small performance cars are heading next.
