Official: 500 Abarth is right good

... And we're back from Balocco. Unsurprisingly the new 500 Abarth is really very good fun.



I managed a whole host of laps around the fiddly test track which was set up to demonstrate the TTC system fitted in the absence of a conventional slippy diff.



It does genuinely work, but the car is set up to be quite understeery to stop newbie drivers from spannering themselves badly so the really twisty stuff can make it come unstuck.



To be honest there’s only one major problem that the car has and that’s its mega-firm ride which is good for doing stuff like this, but I doubt it’ll be as good on a UK B-road.



There was plenty of stuff to check out in the odd bit of downtime too, as you can see from the pics which are just a click away.
