SERIAL DRIVER NURBURGRING : 500 Abarth 595 Competizione (chasing cooper)

[@lupo0144]

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!!!!!

[@DominicAmann]

Great driving. Pay no attention to the critics. Nice car.

[@SerialDriver]

thanks

[@slesperado]

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.

[@SerialDriver]

slesperado thanks mate

[@naguzi74]

Veramente un gran pilota. Complimenti.

[@ianchesney9639]

dang dude! your a very good driver.

[@benmorin1284]

9:00 holy shit, I crapped my pants, but you recovered well. J'ai chié dans mon froc, nice skillz!

[@Smooovie1337]

i think he didnt rev match the front weels locked :D

[@5555lupo]

A very good driver, specially because the gap of power between the 595 and Mini is too much!!

[@SerialDriver]

+marco polo thanks

[@nikjac79]

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!

[@Ale127146]

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!

[@SerialDriver]

merci

[@seeyaa_2ss]

Very well done great driver for that fiat abarth made the car look damn fast .....excellent driving skills thumbs up Houston texas

[@SerialDriver]

thanks mate

[@MrChimeratic]

For such a small car, the Abarth 500 IS super fast

[@swansmeister]

+McHydra stupid remark cause it's fast because it's so small dummy

[@Milnoc]

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.

[@rare6499]

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!!!

[@SerialDriver]

+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 ;)

[@rare6499]

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.

[@SerialDriver]

+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

[@adsfhjasdjk5572]

You're a really good driver! The Abarth 500 also is one of my dreamcars.

[@Z1ZOU1]

take my 500 to the Nurburgring.. what a dreams. thanks for helping visualize what it would look like.

[@willohanlon]

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.

[@SerialDriver]

+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.

[@willohanlon]

Wow, not your first track experience though?

[@dajumpy]

I like to watch this video every once in a while...in love with the 500 Abarth since day one. Great driving skills!

[@lazylegs15]

Fantastic driving! Complete control the whole way. Man oh man what I'd give to drive the Nurburgring.

[@blueonblack83]

I was on the edge of my seat. Lovely car and lovelier driving.

[@SerialDriver]

thanks, it was good fun this day

[@chicovaldez2722]

Haulin' little 500! Totally respectable!

[@SerialDriver]

thanks

[@Davefranzin]

Funny Car...fast and clean drive.. you're nice driver.

[@MrArn1980]

merci pour cette video, un vrai plaisir à regarder et superbe pilotage!

[@biddiblack1]

Great driving! I don't think I could keep up with you in my Abarth..... fantastic to watch! thanks for the upload 👍

[@NovaHiker50]

You are an amazing driver. I was just blown away watching this video. It was truly jaw dropping!

[@moutondore4683]

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

[@bradatkinson511]

The way you kept up with the M3 in the first couple of minutes in the corners. Brilliant driver with a brilliant car.

[@SerialDriver]

+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 ;)

[@vogliounacocacola]

Keeping up with the cooper in spite of the hp difference, very good

[@SerialDriver]

thanks, it was good fun

[@MrChimeratic]

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

[@ttroemer]

That was great driving! Proper pushed that little Abarth to the max!

[@EvilSean62]

tiny little dancing slipper passed all those cars ... i now have a 595... love it to pieces !!!

[@georgesmp]

That car looks like an ton of fun. Great video and driving. Love it!

[@marcoferrara9670]

E' incredibile piu lo guardo questo video e piu mi piace una macchina spettacolare una vera mini bomba da puro divertimento!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hanif4326]

You must see the abarth 500 gtech on the salzburgring, abarth beats porsches, corvette, m3s, and.many moreee:)

[@MarkMcCartney]

I enjoyed every bit of that video mate. Gran Turismo came in handy by the look of your driving there :)

[@lennholm8919]

Man that white Golf R32 really was fast.

[@tiMtwOO]

nice driving. Can't wait to get back to the Nürburgring this summer with my A500

[@jzero4813]

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.

[@n8bolton]

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.

[@Lowso89]

Il se gave le petit à conduire :)... Belle video et belle voiture

[@romanaranguren8923]

Awesome driving!! Love that little monster!!

[@julienpointcom]

les trajs sont vraiment bonnes ! ça envoie du bois, bravo !

[@SerialDriver]

+julien manzoli merci

[@TheMaurob1979]

complimenti ottima guida, molto deciso e senza paura

[@SerialDriver]

+mauro zedda gracie

[@kiko27370]

E' facile scaricare badilate di cv sui rettilinei.La piccola 500 però nel misto si mangia auto con molta piu' cavalleria.

[@Egir53]

ahahah, col telaio della panda certo

[@Davide-fm9qe]

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"...

[@Egir53]

Davide 0 100 non puoi negare che la 500 non ha un telaio e baricentro adatto per andare in curva

[@davimonesnk]

@@Davide-fm9qe Anche le ferrari si ribaltano,bisogna comunque capire la dinamica dell'incidente.Sicuramente le 500 in generale tendono a farlo più spesso.

[@manueldiaspereira8347]

Hi there! Awesome drive! Congratulations! Best Regards.

[@richarddutchholland4780]

Awesome driving......... just goes to show that talent in a small fast car can cut it with the big boys on the ring 👍🏼

[@SerialDriver]

Richard Jones horsepower can help but notre enough lol

[@jeffsergeant]

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 :)

[@erwinenannclaes]

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 ;-)

[@SerialDriver]

+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 ;) )

[@zalambodont]

What, a, monster! Complimenti!

[@gabrielshensky348]

Real nice timing on all your shifts!

[@insanity54]

This is so intense, great driving!

Very nice driving!

[@banzaillou]

très beau tour, bravo!!!

[@AlessandroBombardieri]

Gran bel mezzo e soprattutto gran manico!

[@Tchesko]

Great driving man! Cheers from Brazil.

[@MrChristopherTurpin]

Well driven and you clearly over took a lot more powerful cars than you was overtaken - well done

[@kegl4505]

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 !

[@zacharythomas7856]

Amazing you did damn well. S/o from Florida

[@SerialDriver]

thanks

[@MrChimeratic]

How come everybody is sayin greetings from...? Then I've gotta say greetings from 50km away from the Nürburgring :P

[@minoschristodoulakis5436]

Great ride, great skills, gratz!

Respect! Some decent driving skills!

[@tu21an]

One of the best lap I ever seen, esay under 9' whitout traffic!

[@SerialDriver]

+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)

[@nikjac79]

I love this car!! It's very fast! Good driving...

[@filippovermiglio6085]

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....

[@ETERNITY777]

WOW

[@QuelPAZZOdiPLUTO]

abarth nel cuore

[@buggyispretty]

Belle démonstration de pilotage

[@tequilaki]

Great video,you drive like a pro. And you know abarth well

[@seamaster53]

great driver. great little car

[@SerialDriver]

+seamaster53 thanks, fun little car indeed

[@maxencelesprillier2870]

Steering wheel is the same as normal 500 abarth. Difference is 160hp, koni suspension, better brakes, monza exhaust, sabelt seats, and some minor design stuffs

[@mich_pezzuto]

Nice very nice! Someone drives well 500...Finally! Compliments!!

[@peterwyattmiddleton]

Killing it on the back side of the mountain

[@spacip4]

Respect, pilote 😋😎

[@morebloody]

.... Only 20 Cv more, and you can asphaltate the mini and the vw! :-) Nice driving man!

[@SerialDriver]

yes missing 20-40hp to be perfect car.

[@gliderfs621]

Solution : TURBOOOOOOOOOO

[@TheYourtuber1]

Beautiful driving

[@maxencelesprillier2870]

yes sometimes, because of mist on the windscreen. But honestly doesn't make a big difference

[@nikjac79]

The new 595 Competizione MY2015 have 180cv with 1446 Garrett turbocharger! If this car was funny, you think the new version!:)

[@SerialDriver]

+Nik JAc (“Niak97”) I would love to try the new version indeed. But I swaped the abarth for a mini GP with some mods (230bhp), not sure the 180 would be enough lol

[@hamishbrown1070]

@@SerialDriver Old reply but you can get close to 230HP out of the 595 Competizione with catless down pipe and tune, FMIC would help also. Nice drive though mate very cool!

[@Impofice]

Magnifique sonorité !

[@nikjac79]

Don't worry,thanks.On a track the TTC system improve the performance, because reduce the understeer and re-distribution the torque of front traction wheels!;)It's similar to mechanical differential,but in this case it's electronic...

[@massimilianorel8817]

Bravo

[@TW-Racing]

Je pensais pas pouvoir faire ça avec ma voiture...! Très bon pilote

[@ikbenwim3]

7 years to late but dude,... I like your skills 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Thanks, never too late lol

Grandissimo!!

[@SpottingBanana]

Pretty good track action for such a small car!

[@kaztofu86]

Very nice driving

[@AlexandruParfum]

Nice one indeed ! Good job mate.

[@darroox]

Super ! Next race must win from mini :)

[@vancityguy]

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Great driving! You know how to control the Scorpion.

[@Hyrestos]

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.

[@SerialDriver]

merci

[@markolml]

Gr8 driving!!

[@KyanaPrime]

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.

[@Kaidomaruh]

Awesome lap!!

[@FDLproductions]

Bravo très beau pilotage :) et très belle auto bien sûr ;)

[@03confident]

Chiquito pero matón!!!

[@SerialDriver]

thanks a lot man ! That was indeed first day trying the green hell. But not my first time an track and also maybe training on computer helped to learn the 21km

[@zagmeher8941]

Video molto bello, pilota molto bravo. Comunque vorrei dire la mia opinione visto che ho letto molti scontri tra i commenti. Innanzitutto mi permetto di dire che sono contro a chi pensa FIAT=Merda. Ho un alfa 156 1.9 jtd con all'attivo più di 220mila km e va da Dio, certo che il motore sente gli anni, ma apparte gli scricchiolii non ha mai dato problemi. Conosco gente che ha avuto cambi sulle punto rotti a 16mila km e gente che sulla vw ha scassato altre cose, gente che su fiat ha fatto 250mila km su una fiat seicento 1.2 fire senza particolari avarie e un parente che ha una golf 3 con 300mila km. Riguardo al video é si vero che il pilota é stato bravissimo, ma credo anche che nemmeno valentino rossi riuscirebbe a vincere una gara in bicicletta. Questa auto per stare dietro ad auto di categoria superiore nel misto stretto vuol dire che le doti dinamiche le ha. Poi si sa che in allungo cala a causa di ridotta potenza e pessima aerodinamica, e si sa anche che per quanto possa essere preparata di sospensioni e assetto e gomme ha comunque il telaio di un utilitaria. Senza ombra di dubbio é un auto con ottime qualitá motoristiche e dinamiche, é un bel giocattolino che a me tra l'altro piace molto. Ma si sa, pura fisica, se prendi due bmw stesso modello stesso motore e una la alleggerisci mantenendo anche stesse gomme e sospensioni é naturale che quella più leggera soffra meno il sottosterzo. Considerate che il pilota aveva un passeggero che seppur donna e di peso contenuto (probabilmente 50/60 kg) comunque é un peso che incide sulle doti dinamiche. Per finirla qui, la abarth 500 é un ottima vettura ma di categoria a sé stante dotata di interessanti caratteristiche nonostante il telaio utilitariesco. Poi l'auto é la sinergia tra chi la guida e il mezzo stesso. Non facciamo confronti stupidi "eh ma la golf r da 300cv é meglio" eh grazie al c****! Non confrontiamo motorini e moto, analizziamo il mezzo per quello che é non il relazione a mezzi più grandi, perché non ha senso.

[@federicoallegrucci7293]

+Angelo Iandolo bravo! considerazione molto ragionata, da persona matura e soprattutto senza confronti privi di senso o estremismi. la penso come te! salute, federico

[@zagmeher8941]

Grazie!! Federico Allegrucci

[@marcoferrara9670]

giusto hai ragione condivido in pieno,quando una cosa non piace non bisogna disprezzarla!!

[@marcoferrara9670]

guarda ti dirò che anche io non è che sono innamorato della fiat,ho avuto brutte esperienze,però nonostante questo non vado dicendo agli altri non compratela e faccio cattiva pubblicità,puo essere che io sia sfortunato,quindi ogni singolo essere umano fa funzionare la propria testa,indipendentemente dalle critiche,pero tutto sommato a me piace moltissimo l'abarth 500 e se dovessi comprarla lo farei senza problemi perche la vedo una macchinetta fatta bene e robusta,quindi la consiglio vivamente a chi la vuole comprare,sarà il mio prossimo acquisto,un saluto a tutti i lettori!!!

Che ragionamento sarebbe xd
