So does the turismo have the same turbo than the comp? we don't have the comp in my country and I was wondering if the power difference is only the engine mapping.

[@MDK2306]

Hi Stef, which Gearbox is the 595 (145) equipped with? We in India get the ancient C510 5 speed which is a hell of a lot notchy /rubbery. Would you recommend a swap?

[@boondoc001]

I wish this car did better here in the US so that we got a similar range of choices. I love my Abarth

[@Milnoc]

Funny thing, though. Even with a wider choice, I'd probably stick with the Turismo, which is essentially the equivalent of the North American Abarth with a few added luxuries. It happens to be the Abarth I currently own.

[@yahneyoung5505]

Meeee too..👌🏽

[@allanpeterson3358]

Totally agree with you! Love ❤️ my 2012 fiat Abarth !

[@henrikcarlsen1881]

Rented it (695 comp) on a trip in Poland this summer (as it was so surprisingly cheap to do). It was a Dad-thing which I think the two teenagers in back would agree with, but I will do it again if the chance turns up. Had I the money to buy the 695 (with manual) I would. Love that little car with the badges and all.

[@legionluciano]

Dude. You need to get a Biposto. The king of Abarth deserves the King. The Biposto.

[@Mouse2113]

Brilliant video. When I bought my 2010 Esseesse new it was either that or just the standard 135 bhp Abarth 500. They were very rare back then and only limited dealers. 13 years later lots of cars, dealers and models

[@francoismontresmecaniques7082]

Thanks Stef as usual, very good video. To me as a daily the Rivale with the wood pack in Cabrio is such a cool thing, so beautiful, love mine to death. Love the Esseesse too. The Biposto, it has to have all the crazy stuff (carbon, lexan, gearbox etc... ) and then the feeling is just insane ( as the price ). Now for the price, a basis Abarth is already a joy, and there is so much pleasure to get on a budget in second hand. A bit too expensive but so classy, the 695 Maserati, what a beauty ! Otherwise, any version of a blue cab with the beige Sabelt. Love that configuration.

[@StefABtv]

Thanks man. Agree with all of the above points 👏

[@gatobakuniano]

There's a very small edition mistake at 4:38 Great video, I wish I would have seen it one month ago. The different models were difficult to understand if you are not in the Abarth world

Can we have some more Punto content down the road ? I’m building mine up from a kinda sorry state up to around hopefully about 200HP & would love some inspiration & different ideas from other Punto owners.

Few things: The 145 has... 145HP. The Turismo have upgraded koni FSD shocks, bmc air filter, drilled brembo discs and front brembo pads. And of course, 165HP - with GT1446. The S3 had 160HP with IHI.

Hi Stef great video, would it be worth mentioning the Trofeo, Pista, Scorpioneoro, 695-anniversario, 70th anniversary, Maserati and Tributo Ferrari editions and any others I missed as it would be nice to know all of them even if not going into great detail?

[@tredfxman]

Fantastic work Stef! Very interesting! 👍 Iwas alittle dissapointed in the Rivale Specs though, since ithink its the most beautiful Abarth. But maby there will come another Special Edition in a while. Is it with the Abarths, like the GTI's that there comes a new special edition every 5 years or so..?

[@StefABtv]

Similar I guess but the 595 needs a proper refresh now imo.

[@nabismith8023]

Stef. Great as always! We don't get those in the US but we do get the 1446 garret turbo. Do you know how i can order parts to make mine look like that? Keep it up man.

[@StefABtv]

I would check out companies like MS racing for eu modifications that could help. Alternative is to order direct from an Abarth Uk dealer but will cost a fortune in import tax

[@nabismith8023]

@@StefABtv Thanks for that. I did buy my piggyback ecu from the EU. From a company called Bluespark. It was 220$ dollars US. Here in the states the cbeapest i found was 500$ I also installed the multiair springs. Stef on the rolling road it made 190hp. About 160hp to the wheels. Mind you it made 135hp stock. I don't kow if you have heard of that upgrade as its for multiair engines. It took me only an hour to do. Made about a 20hp gain. Trust me i was sooo skeptical about those numbers. I found the video and then even saw the dyno (rolling road) results and was like " what a crock of s..." But for 100$ what was there to lose? Stef the midrange boost is amazing! So all in i've spent 320$ and have 190hp. From 2mods. Not too bad if i say so myself. With a proper remap I'm sure i would get more but i am not trying to go much past 200 as its a daily driver. Plus it gets up to 117 degrees here in the summer.

[@nabismith8023]

@ekim andersom actually they are the same. the difference is the multiair. that's it.

Hello mate a couple of my mates have Abarths and love them. I drive an Audi Q3 at the moment but I have often thought about getting an Abarth. The majority of the time I am in my car myself nowadays. The wife says I am too old for a car like an Abarth but I am only 38. What’s your thoughts on it becoming a daily car for me?

Easy to daily! If you do long journey you may miss the cruise control and comfort of the Q3 but it’s much more fun

What’s the raciest cabriolet Abarth? I also think I’ll prefer the F1 gearbox. Just joined around half of Mallorca yesterday in a 595 Turismo Cabrio with the flappy paddles and everyone liked the car. “What are you doing??” my wife said when I took it out of Scorpion mode. She flicked the scorpion and floored the car onwards while stating “I like it better in loud go-fast mode!” Clever wife and a hoon of a car, but we need the Cabrio for headroom and the noise is better with the roof down, also nothing beats wind in your hair.
