An exciting weekend and a touching moment, on the day of Abarth

Η Abarth Day, δηλαδή η μεγάλη μέρα της συνάντησης των θαυμαστών της μάρκας έλαβε χώρα στο Varano de’ Megelari (Ιταλία) και στην πίστα του Rockingham (Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο) Με ένα εκπληκτικό performance στο Le Mans από την ομάδα της Movistar Yamaha Moto GP, με χορηγό την Abarth. Ο Βαλεντίνο Ρόσι εντυπωσίασε με το γνωστό του πάθος για οδήγηση, παρόλο που δεν κατάφερε στο τέλος να κόψει πρώτος το νήμα. Νικητής του αγώνα αναδείχθηκε ο ομόσταβλός του, Μάβερικ Βινιάλες, γιορτάζοντας έτσι τις 500 συνολικές νίκες της Yamaha.

However, the Abarth and Yamaha partnership is also unfolding on the road, in addition to the track. The result of this is the unrivalled Abarth 595 Yamaha Factory Racing and 695 biposto Yamaha Factory Racing Edition, to which another unique version, the new Abarth 695 XSR Yamaha Limited Edition, has recently been added. The new 695 XSR Yamaha is available exclusively in Pista Grey and in just 695 hatchback and 695 convertible units. In Greece, it can be obtained by special order.

The icing on the cake this magical weekend for the scorpion brand was winning the women's trophy at the 2017 Mille Miglia in a 1957 Abarth 750 GT Zagato. The classic Abarth car was driven by Maria and Luigia Gaburri, daughter and wife respectively of Roberto Gaburri, founder and first president of the organizing company, 1000 Miglia srl, who passed away last year.
