Our good friends at Autocar in the UK have some footage of the Abarth 500 circling the track. The video clearly illustrates how composed the Abarth is under heavy braking and track cornering. While these are the 180 hp/221 torque Corsetta versions, the US version of the Abarth esseesse should prove equally is fun. Our only concern is possible dampning changes for US roads that might eliminate the fun.
What will be even more interesting to see, is whether or not the US gets a clone of the Trophy cup series they have in the UK for this vehicle. Only time will tell.
