The Competizione is the most powerful production Abarth 595 available. Small, powerful and fun, it would be rude not to test it!

You don't get a stiffer suspension when pushing the sport button. The 595 Competizione has Koni FSD's on all 4 corners, which are non-adjustable. The only thing that happens is the throttle respons, a tiny dash extra turbo pressure and some more weight in the steering wheel.

Great video Mark 👍 It hasn’t helped cure my 595 obsession tho!

I had a competizione, absolutely brilliant little car. I would like to one day get another as a second car.

Sales of the FIAT 500 series failed in the USA. They are pulling out again. Parts will be scarce.

I put mine in sports mode when I first brought it, button not been touched since. Also in Australia mine came with Michelin Pilot Sports rubber which I find excellent.

I also dropped my Sabelt seats an inch with lower brackets.

the performance pack has a mechanical locking differential and not an electronic one

The rear of the car looks like it's giving birth to a Dodge Viper

Better tyres transformed mine, the Pirelli are shocking tyres.

Good thinking, what tyres did you buy for yours?

@wildeheart2996 5 жыл бұрын

I got Michelin PS4 and the difference is night and day. I can’t understand why the Abarth has the P zero as standard, they’re ok in the dry but in the wet they’re so slippery.

Great tyre. We currently have a Corsa GSi on test with those tyres and the grip they offer is excellent.

P zero are so so bad. Got them in my Grande Punto Abarth and I hated them so much. Just replaced them with the Goodyear Eagle F1 and the difference was huge. The PS4 are still the best option tho ;)
