Abarth 500 VS Impreza WRX STI on Track

The Abarth 500 is one hot little devil, regardless if we’re talking about the 140 hp or the 160 hp standard and Essesse Euro versions or about the 160 hp US version. However, the top asset of the car is its agility.
However, we can’t really believe that the Abarth 500 can keep up with a (modified!) Subaru Impreza WRX STI (we’re talking about the previous generation, but it doesn’t matter). This is what the adjacent video, shot by Youtube user Marchetinno shows. The Impreza must’ve been on a warm-up lap, but this does’t mean that the clip is less fun to watch!

Here’s what Marchetinno had to say: While driving at Franciacorta racetrack I played with a modified Subaru Impreza WRX Sti. I was also very surprised to keep up with such a fast car with my Abarth. Unfortunately my GoPro HD stopped to record the action for no reason!
