Description:
The Abarth 500 Assetto Corse was presented in October 2008 on the occasion of the WTCC in Monza. The Assetto Corse was largely hand-built by Abarth according to FIA regulations as a pure race car with welded roll cage, racing bucket seat and Sabelt 6-point seat belts. The 1.4-litre 4-cylinder turbo was increased to 200 bhp, power is transmitted to the front wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. An adjustable suspension and OZ-Racing 17" wheels with Michelin racing tyres ensure roadholding, and deceleration is provided by a Brembo brake system front and rear. The front apron with a huge air intake, the large rear wing and a rear diffuser with a dual-flow sports exhaust system give the car a brawny appearance. The Abarth 500 Assetto Corse is limited to just 49 examples and had a new price of around CHF 97'000, making such a vehicle correspondingly rare. Our little racer was produced in 2009, imported to Switzerland as a new car in 2017 and integrated into the collection of the last owner in 2019. With only 135 kilometres driven, without being raced, the Abarth is almost in delivery condition and is duty paid in Switzerland.

Der Abarth 500 Assetto Corse wurde im Oktober 2008 anlässlich der WTCC in Monza präsentiert. Der Assetto Corse wurde durch Abarth nach FIA-Reglement als reiner Rennwagen mit eingeschweisstem Überrollkäfig, Rennschalensitz und Sabelt 6-Punkt Gurte, weitgehend handgefertigt. Der 1.4-Liter 4 Zylinder Turbo wurde auf 200 PS gesteigert, die Kraftübertragung auf die Vorderräder erfolgt über ein 6-Gang Schaltgetriebe. Für die Strassenlage sorgen ein einstellbares Fahrwerk und OZ-Racing 17“ Räder mit Michelin Rennbereifung, verzögert wird mit einer Brembo Bremsanlage vorne und hinten. Ein bulliger Auftritt wird durch die Frontschürze mit riesigem Lufteinlass, dem grossen Heckflügel und einem Heckdiffusor mit zweiflutiger Sportauspuffanlage gewährt. Der Abarth 500 Assetto Corse ist auf nur gerade 49 Exemplare limitiert und hatte einen Neupreis von rund CHF 97‘000.-, entsprechend selten wird solch ein Fahrzeug angeboten. Unser kleiner Renner wurde 2009 produziert, als Neuwagen 2017 in die Schweiz importiert und 2019 vom letzten Besitzer in dessen Sammlung integriert. Mit erst 135 gefahrenen Kilometern, ohne Renneinsatz, befindet sich der Abarth nahezu im Auslieferungszustand und ist in der Schweiz verzollt.
