What is the difference between the two models?
Just the yellow paint on the Record?

Anyone here own or owned one give me an insight to ownership etc?

Many thanks.

I have a Record limited edition Biposto, 133 built to commemorate the number of records set by Carlo Abarth, and only available in yellow.

Basically its a Biposto with Record badges but seem to command a premium as do other limited editions such as the Ferrari and Maserati Tributo's.

As such the ride is harsh and unforgiving on anything other than smooth roads but is a lot of fun especially in Sport mode. I really wouldn't want to use it as a daily driver though.

Have a look at this: https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/abarth/a...

Had a Biposto Record as a daily driver and now on 65k miles. Only fault to mention is that in a super hot summer a few years ago, some of the decals on the wing badges fell off.

Reliable, no frills motoring. But so harsh a white builder's van will out corner you.

But 5 years on, no desire to get rid.

I take my hat off to you for using it as a daily driver. smilesmile
