They are billed as ‘First Responders' and these two Abarth 595 ambulance cars should certainly be first at the scene of an emergency.
Powered by a turbo-charged 1.4-litre T-Jet engine, delivering 140 hp and 206 Nm maximum torque, these Abarth St John Community First Responders (CFR) cars are capable of 127 mph top speed and 0-62 mph acceleration in just 7.9 seconds - just right for a 999 call.
The two cars, sponsored by Michael and Peter Beausire, directors of Guernsey-based Abarth dealer Le Mont Saint Garage, will be used on the island by St John Community volunteers for the next year. Each vehicle carries a defibrillator and other life-saving equipment. The cars, which have been branded with CFR for maximum awareness, are available for immediate emergency dispatch.
CFRs are alerted to an emergency call at the same time as an ambulance and because they are already out in the community, they can be the first to reach the patient, sometimes making a difference between life and death.
"Le Mont Saint Garage's donation is extremely generous and this practical support is invaluable to St John," says Alison Marquis, deputy chief officer of St John Emergency Ambulance Service. "The support our CFRs provide, with perhaps early defibrillation and other life-saving skills in those first few minutes following a 999 call, can make a massive difference."
"I am delighted that Le Mont Saint Garage was able to provide support to this worthwhile cause," says Gerry Southerington, brand manager, Abarth UK. "I hope the cars help the St John volunteers provide lifesaving care and support."
The Abarth 595 range starts at £14,610 for the 1.4 T-Jet 140 hp manual. For more details please go to: www.abarthcars.co.uk

ABARTH TURNS BACK THE CLOCK AT LONDON CLASSIC CAR SHOW 2016
Abarth UK is preparing to turn the racing clock back 50 years with plans for an exciting display at this year's London Classic Car Show.
The performance car brand's exhibition stand (D21) will feature new and old - with plans to show the recently-launched Abarth biposto Record alongside the classic Abarth Monoposto Record Class G racing car from 1965.
It will also use the occasion to announce the UK launch of the Officine Abarth Classiche, the official Turin-based workshop where classic Abarth cars are repaired, restored and certified for customers lucky enough to own one of these legendary models.
Last year was Abarth's best ever in the UK, with total sales of 2743 - a rise of 67.0 per cent against 2014 (1642) - and a top five finish in terms of fastest-growing car brands in the UK.
The London Classic Car Show, held at London's ExCel exhibition hall, 18-21 February, provides Abarth with an excellent opportunity to show what to expect from the brand in 2016 while offering a reminder of the scorpion brand's glorious past.
The new Abarth biposto Record celebrates the 50th anniversary of Karl Abarth's astonishing legacy of 133 international records. A perfect combination of performance, Italian style and attention to detail, only 133 examples will be built, to recognise the long line of racing successes.
Abarth founder Karl Abarth drove an Abarth Monoposto Record, Class G at Monza, winning the acceleration record on 400 metres and 500 metres. Unable to find the right driver, he decided to lose 30 kilograms in weight to slip into the tight cockpit himself.
"It's an important classic car show and we are delighted to be showing two classics of our own," says Gerry Southerington, brand manager, Abarth UK. "The Monoposto was a highly successful car and is now steeped in history. As for the biposto Record, I'm sure that it will one day become a classic in its own right."
Abarth prices start at £14,610 OTR for the 1.4 TJet 140hp Manual rising to £33,055 OTR for the 1.4 TJet biposto 190hp Manual.
