The Innovative M-05 Chassis

The 60D radial tires mounted on 11-spoke wheels enhance traction and stability, making it a joy to drive on various surfaces. Whether you're navigating tight corners or accelerating on a straight path, the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse delivers a thrilling yet controlled experience.
