One of the best drives I've seen in a small performance hatchback for a long time.... Just goes to show you really don't need a 100k super car to have fun..... Love the 500!!!!!
I always tell people that the Abarth 500 has amazing handling. This video proves it. Also, your driving skills are AMAZING. It's refreshing for me to see someone who actually knows how to drive a car properly. Great video.
Respect! I can't believe your passenger never made a sound! Really impressive drive shows how capable you are as a driver, great to see the 595 do so well especially with a passenger!!!
+Josh Charlie thanks. Everybody thinks the abarth is a lame car, but it's actually pretty decent on track. Probably lack 20bhp (solved by the 2015 evolution with new turbo and 180), but front end is sharp, brakes are good.... But now I have a Mini and I must admit it's one big step above the Abarth. check my more recent videos ;)
CaptainBigleux2833 I have recently bought a 180, enjoying it a great deal. I am impressed with the car, considering what it is based on! What Mini have you got? I previously had a 2003 Works mini with loads of mods, pulley etc.
+Josh Charlie I own since over a year an R53 GP, with some mods (pulley, janspeed manifold, bit of brakes). Look my other videos, much better lap with the GP than the Abarth. But I would love to try again with a new 595 competizione now that they have the bigger turbo and 180 bhp
9 minutes and 12 seconds in a demonic street legal go-kart! 😁 I love how the Abarth eats curves for breakfast! As soon as you reached a windy path, you were catching up with every other car ahead of you real fast! The more powerful cars on the track seem to only be effective on the straights.
Chapeau. Sur votre vidéo on voit vraiment ce que j´ai toujours dit, c´est lorsque ça tourne que l´on voit ceux qui savent s´y faire...et ceux qui voudraient savoir! Quant à la Mini JCW il est évident que la puissance est plus importante sur cette voiture. S´amuser en bonne camaraderie c´est tout ce qui compte. Vraiment très belle vidéo!
I have been around the ring over a 300 times and I can count the number of drivers with your awareness and skill on little over two hands. Very nice, top marks.
+Will oHanlon thanks Will. But I have to say this video was actually my first trip as a driver on the ring. Probably the 10th lap I did. Training on PC probably helped to learn the track lol.
the Mini is more powerful but the Abarth is too light. Ok, Mini JCW is a very good car and our performance is very high, but this video show the great performance of the little 500! It's very funny, you try!
+Brad Atkinson thanks Brad, the Abarth is not the best but lot of fun for sure, and quite decent in slow corners. But too short wheelbase and lacking power in fast. Now driving a mini, check my videos ;)
I made a test drive with the Abart Competizione 160 Hp and i must say i was very very surprised! Very cool and fast car with a great sound! Congrats on your driving skills...impressive ;-)
+Erwin Claes Thanks, it's a fun little car indeed. Would love to try the new version with 180bhp. But to moved to mini since over a year, big step above (check my videos ;) )
The Abarth looks like it's keeping up and even faster in the tight bends than some of the bigger cars that clearly outclass it - such a short wheelbase it must take corners at ridiculous speeds. Funny to see the 500 chewing off the bumper of a BMW round the bends and chicanes, only to hit a straightaway to be left utterly behind. Nice little ride.
Not sure if the M driver is just being lazy and not pushing the car or if the Abarth is really keeping up. Lol. Love it. I've always had an obsession with the 500, especially the Abarth, ever since we saw it emerge over here in The States (I was so excited to find out that I actually fit comfortably in the little thing, even being over 6 feet tall). Wonderful to see one actually perform and stretch its legs.
Tu gère bravo :) la BMW rouge du début tu l'as tient bien, bon après en ligne droite la puissance supplémentaire se fait ressentir mais dans les virages la 500 est énorme.
d'accordo con gli amici italiani..intanto ottimo pilota, poi vi dirò che questo gioiellino ha sorpreso anche me che di tedesche ne ho guidate tante.. è una scheggia....
Qualcuno dice che il cinquino si ribalta facilmente...forse è anche vero...però qualche giorno fa vicino casa mia in piena rotonda c'era una macchina a ruote in su...e aveva questo stemma "VW"...
@@Davide-fm9qe Anche le ferrari si ribaltano,bisogna comunque capire la dinamica dell'incidente.Sicuramente le 500 in generale tendono a farlo più spesso.
There are a lot of people who would recognise a Fiat 500 but would have never heard of Abarth.. I love to imagine the looks of the faces of some of the people you're passing :)
+tu21an thanks, it was fun indeed. could probably do under 9min indeed, with less traffic and now I know better the track. But also I know have a mini and it's big step above, closer to 8min (see me more recent videos)
Hi mate, you drove the pants off that Cinquecento, well done :) I agree, if you ditched the passenger ( no offence to passenger ) I reckon you would have done better and given the cooper a better run for it's money, you really handled those corners fantastic. Viva la FIAT
Great driving. Pay no attention to the critics. Nice car.
thanks

slesperado thanks mate
Veramente un gran pilota. Complimenti.
dang dude! your a very good driver.
9:00 holy shit, I crapped my pants, but you recovered well. J'ai chié dans mon froc, nice skillz!
i think he didnt rev match the front weels locked :D
Very well done great driver for that fiat abarth made the car look damn fast .....excellent driving skills thumbs up Houston texas
thanks mate
For such a small car, the Abarth 500 IS super fast
+McHydra stupid remark cause it's fast because it's so small dummy
You're a really good driver! The Abarth 500 also is one of my dreamcars.
Respect! I can't believe your passenger never made a sound! Really impressive drive shows how capable you are as a driver, great to see the 595 do so well especially with a passenger!!!

I like to watch this video every once in a while...in love with the 500 Abarth since day one. Great driving skills!
I was on the edge of my seat. Lovely car and lovelier driving.
thanks, it was good fun this day
Haulin' little 500! Totally respectable!
thanks
Fantastic driving! Complete control the whole way. Man oh man what I'd give to drive the Nurburgring.
I have been around the ring over a 300 times and I can count the number of drivers with your awareness and skill on little over two hands. Very nice, top marks.
+Will oHanlon thanks Will. But I have to say this video was actually my first trip as a driver on the ring. Probably the 10th lap I did. Training on PC probably helped to learn the track lol.
Wow, not your first track experience though?
take my 500 to the Nurburgring.. what a dreams. thanks for helping visualize what it would look like.
That was great driving! Proper pushed that little Abarth to the max!
I enjoyed every bit of that video mate. Gran Turismo came in handy by the look of your driving there :)
Funny Car...fast and clean drive.. you're nice driver.
You are an amazing driver. I was just blown away watching this video. It was truly jaw dropping!
Great driving! I don't think I could keep up with you in my Abarth..... fantastic to watch! thanks for the upload 👍
merci pour cette video, un vrai plaisir à regarder et superbe pilotage!
Il se gave le petit à conduire :)... Belle video et belle voiture
Awesome driving!! Love that little monster!!
Franchement tu gère... Je trouve que la 500 a un grip latéral de ouf mais légèrement survireuse.... En tout cas t'as envoyé propre copain...+1
That car looks like an ton of fun. Great video and driving. Love it!
A very good driver, specially because the gap of power between the 595 and Mini is too much!!
+marco polo thanks
the Mini is more powerful but the Abarth is too light. Ok, Mini JCW is a very good car and our performance is very high, but this video show the great performance of the little 500! It's very funny, you try!
E' incredibile piu lo guardo questo video e piu mi piace una macchina spettacolare una vera mini bomba da puro divertimento!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tiny little dancing slipper passed all those cars ... i now have a 595... love it to pieces !!!
The way you kept up with the M3 in the first couple of minutes in the corners. Brilliant driver with a brilliant car.
+Brad Atkinson thanks Brad, the Abarth is not the best but lot of fun for sure, and quite decent in slow corners. But too short wheelbase and lacking power in fast. Now driving a mini, check my videos ;)
Hi there! Awesome drive! Congratulations! Best Regards.
Very nice driving!
les trajs sont vraiment bonnes ! ça envoie du bois, bravo !
+julien manzoli merci
Keeping up with the cooper in spite of the hp difference, very good
thanks, it was good fun
Yeah, he's a good driver. That BMW at the beginning just managed to get away because they were coming to the speedier part of the Nürburgring
nice driving. Can't wait to get back to the Nürburgring this summer with my A500
Amazing you did damn well. S/o from Florida
thanks
How come everybody is sayin greetings from...?
Then I've gotta say greetings from 50km away from the Nürburgring :P
Nice driving and nice pocket rocket!!!
Awesome driving......... just goes to show that talent in a small fast car can cut it with the big boys on the ring 👍🏼
Richard Jones horsepower can help but notre enough lol
I made a test drive with the Abart Competizione 160 Hp and i must say i was very very surprised! Very cool and fast car with a great sound! Congrats on your driving skills...impressive ;-)
+Erwin Claes Thanks, it's a fun little car indeed. Would love to try the new version with 180bhp. But to moved to mini since over a year, big step above (check my videos ;) )
Great ride, great skills, gratz!
complimenti ottima guida, molto deciso e senza paura
+mauro zedda gracie
beautiful video... and good drive...
+Salvatore Iaquinta (“5dejan7”) gracie
Great driving man! Cheers from Brazil.
Man that white Golf R32 really was fast.
Real nice timing on all your shifts!
très beau tour, bravo!!!
This is so intense, great driving!
¡Excelente vuelta! ¡Excelente coche! ;)
Very good driving, thanx!!
thanks

Nice steering wheel and gear management. Well done.
+Juan Santiago thanks

Nice one indeed ! Good job mate.
Respect! Some decent driving skills!
.... Only 20 Cv more, and you can asphaltate the mini and the vw! :-) Nice driving man!
yes missing 20-40hp to be perfect car.
Solution : TURBOOOOOOOOOO
Tu gère bravo :) la BMW rouge du début tu l'as tient bien, bon après en ligne droite la puissance supplémentaire se fait ressentir mais dans les virages la 500 est énorme.
merci
Beautiful driving
d'accordo con gli amici italiani..intanto ottimo pilota, poi vi dirò che questo gioiellino ha sorpreso anche me che di tedesche ne ho guidate tante..
è una scheggia....
What, a, monster!
Complimenti!
Gran bel mezzo e soprattutto gran manico!
Excellent pilotage, très bonne bombinette de 160cv dans les sinueuses.
a ouais ! ça envois une 500 en faite ! je vais l'inclure dans mes choix ! et le retour de flamme de la focus ST, c'est magique !
I love this car!! It's very fast! Good driving...
You must see the abarth 500 gtech on the salzburgring, abarth beats porsches, corvette, m3s, and.many moreee:)
Super ! Next race must win from mini :)
Very nice driving
with ESP, cannot be remove unfortunately. But not too intrusive in sport mode and TTC activated
Wow, very nice driving. I have an abarth and its very fun to drive, but I can't drive it anywhere near as good as you.
E' facile scaricare badilate di cv sui rettilinei.La piccola 500 però nel misto si mangia auto con molta piu' cavalleria.
ahahah, col telaio della panda certo
Qualcuno dice che il cinquino si ribalta facilmente...forse è anche vero...però qualche giorno fa vicino casa mia in piena rotonda c'era una macchina a ruote in su...e aveva questo stemma "VW"...
Davide 0 100 non puoi negare che la 500 non ha un telaio e baricentro adatto per andare in curva
@@Davide-fm9qe Anche le ferrari si ribaltano,bisogna comunque capire la dinamica dell'incidente.Sicuramente le 500 in generale tendono a farlo più spesso.
Awesome driving...😉
Nice very nice! Someone drives well 500...Finally! Compliments!!
Un sacré pilote bravo 👍
Woww Great driving !!
+Johan Vazel thanks
Great video,you drive like a pro. And you know abarth well
Excellent driving man !
thanks
great driver. great little car
+seamaster53 thanks, fun little car indeed
Nice drive! 😉
Well driven and you clearly over took a lot more powerful cars than you was overtaken - well done
Great job maxence!!
There are a lot of people who would recognise a Fiat 500 but would have never heard of Abarth.. I love to imagine the looks of the faces of some of the people you're passing :)
Very good driver and very good little fast car
One of the best lap I ever seen, esay under 9' whitout traffic!
+tu21an thanks, it was fun indeed. could probably do under 9min indeed, with less traffic and now I know better the track. But also I know have a mini and it's big step above, closer to 8min (see me more recent videos)
Awesome lap!!
WOW
Great video!
great driving!
Gr8 driving!!
Bravo
Magnifique sonorité !
Hi mate, you drove the pants off that Cinquecento, well done :)
I agree, if you ditched the passenger ( no offence to passenger ) I reckon you would have done better and given the cooper a better run for it's money, you really handled those corners fantastic. Viva la FIAT
yes sometimes, because of mist on the windscreen.
But honestly doesn't make a big difference
Je pensais pas pouvoir faire ça avec ma voiture...! Très bon pilote
Belle démonstration de pilotage
Grandissimo!!
Great Driving 😍👌🏻
Vollgasmus 7 thanks
Pas si bigleux que ca ;) Trés bon pilotage #propre
Good driving
Respect, pilote 😋😎
Pretty good track action for such a small car!
