Abarth 500 Driving Experience

This tiny terror maybe small but what the Abarth 500 lacks in size it more than makes up for in speed and pin-sharp performance. Ideally suited to the smooth surface of a race track, a turbocharged 1.4 16v engine ensures plenty of power is available for inclines and straights, while instant turn-in and almost non-existent body roll delivers very fast cornering.

The driving experience starts with a short safety briefing from one of our qualified instructors. You'll then be taken out onto the circuit for some familiarisation laps. You'll be shown the racing line and given pointers on how to approach and exit corners. These lap's help you get the most out of your driving experience. Then it's your chance to attack the track in this sporty hot hatch.
