About this car
Discover the history
The Abarth 500 R3T is a racing version of the Fiat 500 developed by Abarth. The car is designed for rally competition, specifically in the R3T class, which is reserved for turbocharged cars with a maximum engine displacement of 1.6 liters.
The Abarth 500 R3T features a modified version of the standard 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, which produces around 180 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The car also features a specially tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, and lightweight wheels.
The exterior of the Abarth 500 R3T has been modified for competition, with a wider body, flared wheel arches, and a large rear spoiler for increased downforce. In terms of safety, the Abarth features a roll cage, racing seats, and a fire extinguisher system. It also has a digital dashboard that provides the driver with real-time information about the car’s performance such as speed, RPM, and oil pressure.
The Abarth 500 R3T has been successful in rally competitions around the world, including the Italian Rally Championship and the European Rally Championship. Its small size and nimble handling make it well-suited for tight and twisty rally stages.
