I always found that vehicles that put a lot a power in a super compact form factor are really interesting.

I have a black 2015 Abarth. Mods Go pedal, cool air intake,pulley, Throttle body, front mount intercooler. 220 hp.

Technically, the differences between the 500 Sport Turbo and the Abarth are minimal. However, there's one feature of the Abarth that I really wished was ported over to all Fiat 500s, and that's the rear torsion bar. The stock bar does a decent job of reducing the Abarth's understeer. Replace it with a thicker aftermarket torsion bar, and you can kick this car into crazy corners where it'll now give you a bit of oversteer! Upgrading a 500 to fit any torsion bar will require replacing the rear axle assembly with the axle from the Abarth because it has the necessary mount points for the required torsion bar brackets.

he and that guy Steph are my favorite owners at the moment. I have a 500t and this gives me the inspiration to mod mine. but I will happy with 180hp

Actually I gave it a thought and it's exactly like a fartcan on a Honda. It's a way-over-the-top exhaust on a 170hp car. If you put a ridiculous stupid exhaust on your 170hp Honda that's exactly the same thing. Maybe it's just me but I will never care and I will tailgate the fuck out of those farting rice 170hp Abarths on the autobahn.

アマ Search Better. I don't want to be rude, but what you said makes me think you are not from Europe. Akrapovic over here is well known (actually, it's one of the most famous) for making motorcycle exhausts and has joined Christian Koenigsegg to make the new Regera's system. It's not just a bunch o' losers that rice out german cars. The work they did on the Abarth is remarkable. I know myself it sounds very loud, but the sound it makes is unique. A keen ear will recognize it's not a random car with a drilled manifold and will tell you it's an Abarth

They do sound unique. Maybe it's a matter of taste or I'm just a hater.

I own a '12 Abarth, and whatever people say about it, it's my car and I pay for it. I look super gay driving it, and dudes always pull up to see if it's a hot babe driving; sadly they are greeted by my beardy face. However! However yes, very important, the car is awesome to drive. It's a blast, and it's stupid. Owning an Abarth (or a Turbo, whatevs), provides with a lot of smiles per gallon. It's a driver's car, and it wants your full attention. It's scary, loud, and useless for anything else other than going out for a drive, and I love it. Thanks for the video Roads Untraveled, I'm happy that you dedicated some time to this model.

This Fiat is a beautiful build! You guys do an excellent job editing, I love the soundtracks, photo shots and angles and videography is superb! Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next video!

Great vid! One of my favorite viedeos that I've come across for a Fiat 500 Turbo. Keep up the good work Roads Untraveled!!!

I’m glad I found this video. I have a sport and went into a shop and asked him to make it the fastest 500 he could make it. The guy told Me just get an abarth Bc it requires too much work and too much money. I’m gonna shop around for a good tuner and see what can be done. I’m out in Long Island, ny, anyone have a good guy let me know.

John can always talk you into doing more with your car. haha My Veloster turbo was initially only going to have an intake and an exhaust. Next thing you know i was driving from chicago to ATL for a stage 1 dyno tune when he was down there. haha.

This is the second time I have heard you talk about tire width and traction. Linear traction is a function of the weight of the car pushing down on the tire the fight will push a 205 into the ground more than 225 section tire. Width helps for lateral grip in the dry. As car enthusiasts We need to make sure what we say is correct.
