How does it drive compared to the standard 500/

[Squadrone Rosso]

Not driven it but regularly drive our excellent 500 Twinair Plus. My M3 owning pal described it as fast as fk but rock hard!

What's the spec on it?

[Batster]

Sound upgrade and 17" turbine alloys. Wanted a basic one to run around in but was tough to resist time 595s sat in Precision showroom...

Basic spec appeals to me as well, keep a simple car simple

Lucky 500 Abarth owners

Any one read any 595 reviews yet?

Perfect 2nd car the Abarth 500, fun factor to 11.

Im a bit of car purist, a bit of nerd, yet really fell in love with Abarth when it came out, its just so honest, its not saying its the most track focused giant slayer of a car, nor that its a 300bhp monster and its not meant to be a car that refines dynamics. Its just fun.

I have a 500 Abarth Essesse to which I have fitted a turbo back big bore exhaust system and fitted Vogtland coilovers.....car is like a rocket. No longer bounces like a kangaroo and exhaust is quieter at idle than standard but quite nice once one presses the loud pedal.

Lovely! I fell in live with a 500 twinair hire car in Ibiza last summer.

Hmmm, wonder if any tuning companies have had their way with one of those? Big turbo, fruity pipe, 0 road tax and loads of character...

I went to see an Abarth at the weekend but it was sold. I am based in sweden and they were not imported here so they are all italien or german imports so they are very rare here. I have found an unusual car which is a Registro fiat italiano special, 50 of them made, which is nice but will wait for the Abarth I think.
50 year old people in the motor trade do not usually think Fiat but I want one, bad

Id be happy with just the fruity exhaust and the looks, a bigger turbo might alther that £0 road tax
