I’ve wanted to shoot one of these for a long time. The rental car place here had a white one for a couple days, I almost rented it just to shoot it - however Big_Reds girlfriends brother happens to own this one, so that worked out nicely. The car is packed full of little details, however I think the Mini Cooper is still a more fun car to photograph due to its dash layout.
When the Abarth version hits the US market, I am considering trading in the M for that little car. The Abarth version is SWEET. I know it’ll be a step down, but still. Awesome little car.
I’ve wanted the abarth since I saw it on topgear. I test drove the 500 sport, its a fucking go kart, but is slow. Fun because you can just cut the wheel at speed, seems to stop decently, but needs another 40hp. The abarth is goung to have an extra 60 or so, which should fix that problem.
