My Abarth 500 Full Throttle on Track!

[michaelefox8]

Please wash the window, or use a polarized lens, I can,t see shit.

[evolkram]

Looks fun to me, I want

[EastMountain81]

Commented you a few weeks back about selling my car for one of these great cars. Got my GLI sold. Got my Rosso Abarth, with Nero/Rosso leather, Hyper Black Wheels, and the mirror and "go fast" stripes package in nero ordered! so stoked cant wait for this shoebox with 160hp to hit stateside!

[marchettino]

@EastMountain81 Congratulations, have fun with it! :)

[jbreen007]

shoulda turboed a honda

[Robs777]

Lovely

[hpeluffo]

Is obrigatory use helmet ?

[marchettino]

@hpeluffo In most of the racetrack is obligatory

[CarKid14]

is that the circuit on which ayrton senna died?

[marchettino]

@CarKid14 Yes, he died in the Tamburello corner at 0:33, but this is a different track configuration they changed after the crash

[GallardoFreak888]

@marchettino good man you have a manual transmission and I must say the updates and Mods have worked well especially with that backfire

[stevil1300]

It's not a woman's car! More fitting for a teenage girl.

[themuffin96]

That green GT3 RS overtaking you @3:55 is so loud ! I love that sound !

[Zelfontial]

@marchettino holly mother of god.. what sound is that on 0:07-0:08.?? how could you do that?? 

[marchettino]

@Zelfontial It's backfire, unburned fuel in the exhaust ;)

It depends mostly for the carburation and how straight is the exhaust, mine is decatted with just 2 little silencers

[evofreak1304]

@Zelfontial You never hear backfire before? you should watch some raw sound rally videos :D Bang bang all the time 

[ry3an7]

sounds pretty damn good

[ThePixelAddict]

lol 190 km/h

[Optgemakske]

Still find this a womans car..

[dadodavide]

era esattamente quello che volevo dire .... per chi non lo avesse capito ...

[DavidoggL]

Your favourite color is red? Cause your Abarth is red, interterior is also a bit red. And even your sweater is red :P

[Marshash1]

Nice driving. Pretty good with your heel/toe downshifts. bu why do you upshift so short. is the redline low on the abarth 500? it sounds like you dont go over 6000, 6500 tops. Not meaning to be negative just wanted to know. But pretty good for a modded 500 with street tires.

[BalazsBalu]

Marchettino, this is a beautiful and amazing car, do you think I should buy this or the Mazda MX-5?

[Mass7507]

Sei un grande! Well done! (magari il parabrezza un po più pulito la prossima volta ;-))

[newfieflames]

whats the difference between this and a Fiat 500,

[marchettino]

@newfieflames It's a more sporty version modified by Abarth. It has many mods, the most important is the engine, this one is turbocharged.

[newfieflames]

@marchettino ahhh okay , kinda like RUFF but okay

[nivrin13]

@marchettino

wish i had your car, that is so much fun, i can imagine

[Lore0392]

@newfieflames fiat 500 have 80 hp.. this 135..

[dadodavide]

scusa se mi permetto ma dovresti decisamente avvicinarti al volante .. braccia troppo tese, sei aggrappato al volante perdi molto in sensibilità

[marchettino]

@dadodavide Figurati, i consigli son sempre ben accetti. Lo so ma il problema è che quella è l'unica posizione in cui riesco a guidare, se vado un pelo in avanti son troppo vicino ai pedali, se vado un pelo indietro son troppo lontano dai pedali e volante

[abarthgpa79]

@marchettino ciao , prima di tutto complimenti per il video e per il tuo canale veramente molto bello , volevo solo dirti riguardo alla posizione di guida , non bisognerebbe mai stare troppo lontani perche in caso di urto tendiamo ad allungare ed inrigidire i bracci e questo rende la posizione molto pericolosa perchè puo causare la rottura dei bracci , bisognerebbe stare in una posizione che non ti permette mai di allungare completamente i bracci , ... ancora complimenti per il can

[dadodavide]

@marchettino dipende dalla tua altezza; lontano tiri il volante e non lo spingi, perdi precisione. Braccia tese in caso di urto poi non ammortizzano e rischi polsi e spalle, mentre raccolte usano le articolazioni per assorbire un urto (sgrattt sgratt!!!).

Se l'auto ti permette di stare più raccolto, sforzati e stai più vicino, o più verticale di schienale, che deve essere dritto; dopo poco vedrai che stai meglio e ti stanchi anche meno!

ciao!

[calmoore790]

@marchettino questo potrebbe essere anche un lieve difetto della stessa vettura, non nel tuo modo di posizionarti..non trovi?

[marchettino]

@calmoore790 Eh si è proprio un difetto, non posso nemmeno regolare in lunghezza il volante quindi questa è l'unica posizione ideale per me

[calmoore790]

@marchettino comunque complimenti per il giro veloce che hai fatto!

[G0ML3]

it does understeer a fair bit this fiat

[Leli196]

what a great car! how much did you pay for it?

[chinocaca2003]

nice intro ;)

nice vid ;)

congratulations for your channel!

[GTAIVarcadegamer]

nice ride, now put someone in it who can drive ;)

JK!

[baujahr90er]

perfect car for spotters haha

[Sn0wFly3r]

Marchettino, I hope we get to see more videos of you personally!!! Awesome driving btw!

[GiZa1987]

però la doppietta in scalata ci voleva.

[marchettino]

@GiZa1987 Se senti bene in tutte le scalate facevo il punta-tacco

[Lasvegas4everr]

@marchettino what do the buttons you are pressing do??? D:

[speedfede55]

@GiZa1987 se non lo facesse probabilmente si noterebbe che si scompone molto ad ogni scalata con quasi delle semi-inchiodate. in più il motore non sarebbe troppo felice :)

[EastMountain81]

Awesome Abarth BTW, just subscribed to your channel.

[marchettino]

@EastMountain81 Thank you! :)

[EastMountain81]

Ive been driving for 15 years, always owned VW's. Beetles, Rabbit GTI's, and Jettas. These cars are contagious, im currently trying to sell my GLI for one, haha.

[MaremmaSheepdog]

@EastMountain81 "always owned VW's"

self-certification of silliness?

[CarScrubs]

Nice vid! Love the sound on that Signal Green 997.1 GT3RS that keeps flying by!

[lipos77]

this is a good car. good driver.

[JesterZ325iE46DBM]

Nice vid. Marco;

I agree with Hinachyo; you're a little too far from the steering wheel; you should be able to put your wrists on the steering wheel comfortably; but I think your steering wheel is set too horizontally, adjust that if you can, and your seat can remain in this position.

[360Sniperz]

damn man, you got some skills behind the wheel, and great car by the way, great vid man! (:

[fuxbox]

great driving marco, but I still say you need something faster :)

[GamerAndReviewer]

I would really like one of these, too bad I live in a small town and I won't use it so much... =(

[HENRY243]

3:54 wild porsche appears!

-great video, Marchettino! bravo!

[Kurthebest1988]

ma il ttc lo hai inserito e poi disinserito?? perchè va a surriscladare i freni? visto che ho sentito che lavora cn l esp andando a frenare la ruota che "esce" dalla traiettoria..

[marchettino]

@Kurthebest1988 Il TTC l'ho attivato, aumenta il consumo dei freni perchè la sua funzione sta nel pinzare i freni in caso di sottosterzo, simula un differenziale autobloccante ma in modo elettronico, la differenza si sente.

[Kurthebest1988]

@marchettino sisi si sente eccome!! ce l ho pure io la 500 abarth ma stock :)

[corvettesolos]

Awesome driving marco! :) you've still got the best channel on Youtube

[mcmillan679]

Hair dressers car :L

[TheSerres4]

You should do some walkaround and revs of this car, awesome videos and skill.

[marchettino]

@TheSerres4 Thank you! I allready have some other videos about my car, click on the video annotation at the end of the video, so you can see the playlist with more content about my car ;)

[PEFOBE007]

Gotta love that manual gearbox!

[SuperCarFan66]

I used to think this car was dumb. Then I realized how dumb I was, and how awesome this car actually is.

[caballero125h2o]

potevi pulire il vetro, non si vede niente

[thealexpaoful]

0:05



[camouflagecamaro99]

Marco what were your lap times? I really would like to know. :)

[speedguts21]

Marchettino, just a tip. Move your seat more closer. I can see you have to really extend your arms during corners.

[tomedelic1]

nice lap times marco!!

[themrjones]

What a death trap pos. Worthless

[alfof87]

Ti immaginavo più vecchio :)

[DjJoNnY90]

Grandissimo, splendida la macchina e grande tu nel guidare! Stima profonda !

[Porsche918SpyderRSR]

Fuck these little cars

[yoshidis4]

@Porsche918SpyderRSR fuck you

[Betaops252]

awesome job, awesome car

[marcinhocr7]

You should start making videos about when you drive a car, cause are very cool !!!

IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION...

THANKS.

[MAGICgunPs3]

@marcinhocr7 LOL

[marcinhocr7]

@MAGICgunPs3 jaja

[fountasp10]

good job man....

[Nesto885]

awesome, great to see you and it in action

[trippin805]

your car sounds absolutely wonderful! keep up the good work and i hope some day you can own your dreamcar whatever it may be :)

[cgtpotomac]

I agree with Hinachyo you're a great driver but were sitting a little too far from the steering. :) I've never been to Imola Racetrack looks so fun!! You will definitely shave off a more time once you get proper tires! As the general thumb for track, people tend to get in too hot which is very normal. Remember, Slow In Fast out! :D

That GT3RS at 3:55 is fuckin bonkers. Porsche ftw.

[Atalantino1990]

*di le mans

[Atalantino1990]

Sei molto bravo a guidare, mi immagino te con una Ferrari, o un prototipo da 24 ore di le mansioni :D

[davorsertic]

if this would be rear wheel drive, i think he could drive it because of his seating position...

[tommyblunt]

damn that actually sounds really good

[claudiotyper]

nice video.....but next time, polish the uindos!!! :))

[theungrateful34]

marchettino i finally so yer face its been a pleasure rock on more vids!!

[smosherx]

@theungrateful34 i saw his face in a different channels video haha awesome driving! You made me love the abarth!

[xDRAN0x]

Love that backfire. Love your car.

[CarKid14]

hey marco, whats the button you press at 0:26?

also is it mandatory to wear a helmet at track days?

[davorsertic]

@CarKid14 I think it is DRS...

[marchettino]

@CarKid14 I have engaged the TTC (torque traction control), it simulates electronically a limited slip differential, so i have less understeer

[rjtdbf]

You must have one of the most hardcore Abarth's ever made Marco!! Very cool footage, I love the angle that you have placed your GoPro in!

[ghibli608]

Marchettino, you're awesome!!!!

[dupacable]

how old are you ?



[6avant]

0:07 .... MA E' UN CANNONE O LO SCARICO DI UN'AUTO??? XD

[369Barthez369]

marchettino  cool car nice driver

[animorock]

suona bene sto motore Marchettì!

[Hinachyo]

Hi Marchettino, great car, video as usual! By the video it`s clearly that you have driving skills, but i think you are driving too far from the steerling wheel. You can improve that, i think, and take agressive turns with more firmness. Please continue with your passion and your videos, a littles gifts for your followers. ;)

[ghibli608]

@Hinachyo : you're absolutely correct. He sits a bit too far from the wheel.

[LaiPt]

@Hinachyo One of the flaws of the car is the steering positioning, it's impossible to make the steering wheel closer.

You'd have to have irregularly short legs and long arms to drive this car (exaggeration)

I still love mine though.

[MuseSorcerer]

finally marchettino in action! :D

[iiEnIgMaii]

Minchia che cannonata all'inzio :D

non sei seduto un po' troppo indietro per guidare in pista?

[666antimatter]

nice car you have there

[lwkleijn]

molto bene!

[xDjAsOnF]

what's that button you keep pressing?

[YahyaAsiri]

nice car :)

[McMustachable]

I enjoy your videos, but this is shit... Really.. We can't see the track, the only thing we can see is your interior

[amazinguy1000]

Cute little machine you got there :) nice vid :D

[kirkpatrickdavid]

Why a 500? Could have got an old Porsche instead

[charlyafter]

love that porsche sound

[mattman937]

You would be my hero if you caught that Porsche.

[xOneLimiTx]

MOAR.

[MrShawnald22]

sick gear change spit at the start!!!

[MAXXFIGO]

ma il parabrezza che e succeso?te l'hanno lavato gli zingari...era una batutta...

[marchettino]

@MAXXFIGO Pensa che prima di pulirlo era messo peggio ahah

E' vero avevo le braccia un po lontane il problema è che con il mio sedile se vado avanti di 1 tacca sono scomodo e troppo vicino ai pedali, lo stesso se vado 1 tacca indietro

[MAXXFIGO]

@marchettino ah non lo sapevo quindi questa macchina a qualche difetto ...ma cosa mi dici di EVO abarth non so perche ma mi attira di piu la eVO abarth forse perche e piu grossa...tu che dici?

[marchettino]

@MAXXFIGO A voglia se ne ha :D

Se lasci la macchina completamente di serie è fiacca e non frena! La Punto Abarth non mi piace, sembra un pachiderma con gli adesivi, non ha niente di sportivo per me

[MAXXFIGO]

@marchettino e se invecce prendo la evo essese???e il top di gamma no?

[MAXXFIGO]

forse mi sembra solo a me...ma stai un po lontano dall volante...al mio avviso...

[JAGF430]

wow your a really good driver

[subaruwrxfan]

Very cool video! Looks like so much fun!

[lebrontravelled]

lolwut

[whlzdenis]

LOL what a lil beast! Would love to have something like this as my first car specially in a place like London where you gotta be rich or an upper class person to afford a car in your teenage years.

What other cars do you drive?

[marchettino]

@whlzdenis Actutally this is my only daily drive, just saving for something faster :)

[GiveMeABloodyUser]

@marchettino maybe saving for the m1? that would be fun wouldn't it ?

[marchettino]

@GiveMeABloodyUser Not a fan of BMW, i'm saving for a proper track car :)

[DoctaM3]

Awesome Marchettino. You should definitely upgrade those tires... do more track events.. love them... as always, awesome video. Thumbs up

[hitman44]

Is it common for the shifter to wobble around in those cars?

[Infinity588]

Oh what! Your steering wheels on the left just llike here in North America. Doesnt it get confusing though as you drive through Europe when the direction of flow changes?

[gas010189]

falla un po piu negativa di camber perchè cosi sottosterza troppo, e tira avanti il sedile di una tacca perche quando arrivi col braccio in alto quasi ti stacchi dallo schienale!

comunque vai forte, belle traiettorie!

[MinaBassilious]

Awesome video. I especially liked the exhaust pop at the beginning. You're pretty talented Marco ; )

- Mina

[egzeq]

bad timing, poor car, nice track, real cars

[iknowcarsbetterthanu]

Did you only put H&R springs in or did you also put in H&R dampers?

[marchettino]

@iknowcarsbetterthanu Just springs, i have stock dampers and are everything expect good for a track use

[armada100films]

haha the exhaust pop got me ! lol cute car

[TheDodoKillerHD]

I've never seen a fiat 500 with KERS...

[mechanic1567]

Nice video that 500 must be very fun to drive

[matthi87]

Un pochino distante dal volante ;). Ogni volta stacchi la spalla dal sedile, prova ad avvicinarti ;)

[Beco90]

bella guida. peccato per il parabrezza sporco!

[AlisonShojiOficial]

KERS system at 0:30 ! hahaha

[thechucknorrisraper]

good driver good car

[ExoticCarsChannel]

The Porsche at 3:54 is Like bitch gtfo

[ExoticCarsChannel]

The porshe at 3:59 is like bitch get out the way

[DizzyMan24]

Wow, nice driving. Love the car. Makes a helluv a sound, too.

[Mawerik024]

Si, in effetti è evidente che le gomme siano l'anello debole del video... Come prima volta direi che non è male! Senti ma gli innesti del cambio in pista come sono, ti si è mai impuntato? E con un uso così "esasperato" le finiture interne come si comportano? Tremolii, scricchiolii vari o tiene?

[marchettino]

@Mawerik024 La mia macchina è un scricchiolio continuo ahah, ho lo scarico che fa molto rumore e risonanza e quindi ad un tot di giri motore senti l'abitacolo che vibra. Il cambio non mi si è mai impuntato, la 5a a volte è quella più difficile da mettere

[Mawerik024]

@marchettino Vabbé che volevo pretendere è ovvio :P era solo per curiosità. Cmq sembra molto divertente da guidare. Complimenti! Per la macchina e per quello che fai

[Jetsrule192]

0-60 in 7 seconds? sooo fast

[bfcricky]

@Jetsrule192 Its a Fiat 500, not a Ferrari

[legr8est1234]

I'm no expert, but I would not feel in control of a car sitting that far away from the steering wheel. I'm not sure if that's your preferred position, or if you simply slid back so that the camera wouldn't film your face.

[marchettino]

@legr8est1234 It's just the only good position for me, if i slide a bit forward i'm too close from the pedals and i can't press them correctly, if i slide a bit back i'm too far

[legr8est1234]

@marchettino Personally, I've got long legs, and people are always surprised how close I slide to the steering wheel. Even though me knees are bent, I have a much better grip of the steering wheel, and I feel more connected to the car. But I guess that's my individual preference.

[krippkillaa]

do they even sell Abarth 500s in America?

[marchettino]

@krippkillaa Yes it's available now in the USA and Canada

[HKusp45auto]

@marchettino

thanks for the quick answer , hope for you one day you can afford the car you dream' of ...

[ludolecce]

l'esterno della macchina è per il 90% del video sovraesposto, dovevi settare l'esposizione ottimale prima di girare il video, in modo da rendere visibile anche la pista, peccato...

Comunque ottima guida!

[ademar9988]

non riesco a farmela piacere l abarth...

[bfcricky]

I've just bought a Ford Fiesta S1600, it has 135bhp so I'm hoping it will show similar performance to this Abarth.

[anjoLas]

awesome driving, well done, Marco :)

[Ernestin182]

Nice driving, but you are far away from the steering wheel.. maybe you can be a little bit closer and you will feel more comfortable ;)

[yo13drifter]

Brilliant video very nice car

[futuref22pilot]

What do you think the top speed is after all of these mods?

[marchettino]

@futuref22pilot A friend of mine with my same decat and ECU reflash reached a top speed of 240km/h, i want to go to the Nurburgring before summer, that means also no speed limit highways, i will make a video for sure! ;)

[futuref22pilot]

@marchettino Well then, I definitely CANNOT wait! Video "liked" as usual.

[stevesmn]

Ciao Marchettino, complimenti per i tuoi video e per questi giri nello spettacolare circuito di Imola.

Una curiosità, dopo aver rimappato la centralina, l'ESP è disattivabile oppure rimane inserito ugualmente?

Ciao, grazie.

[marchettino]

@stevesmn Grazie! Rimappando non vai ad intaccare l'ESP, quello si disattiva tagliando un cavo sotto tunnel centrale dalla centralina Bosch, se cerchi su google " Disattivare ESP Abarth " lo trovi subito al 1o risultato, io però non l'ho mai fatto

[TheMaauw]

that porsche is FAST!

[antonySH]

Marchettino permettimi un consiglio: guidi con le braccia troppo allungate e troppo distanti dal volante! Braccio e avambraccio devono formare un angolo di circa 90°..se hai il volante regolabile in profondità avvicinalo un po'! :-) Ti troverai di sicuro meglio nella gestione dello sterzo!

[blakK1337]

nice man :-)
