Abarth and the Movistar Yamaha Moto GP Team, on the Sachsenring circuit

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • Valentino Rossi and #jorgelorenzo race on the spectacular German racetrack.
  • Valentino Rossi has won four past victories on this circuit.
  • A #partnership that brings continuing thrills to these two brands.

 

The legendary #sachsenring circuit, with its breathtaking ascents and descents, is the setting for the ninth #moto GP #event of the season, with #abarth prominently featuring on the bikes of the Movistar #yamaha #moto GP Team ridden by #valentinorossi and #jorgelorenzo.

 

Abarth will be cheering passionately, in its role as support #sponsor of the current World Champion Team, with #valentinorossi as the outstanding protagonist. Rossi has won the German GP four times, and has also notched up three second places and two third place finishes, the last in 2015.

 

Pilots #valentinorossi and #jorgelorenzo have had a satisfactory first half of the 2016 season, overall posting five successes in the eight races so far. A dynamic team indeed, which fits perfectly with the #abarth brand, symbol of unrelenting quest for peak performance. A characteristic seen clearly in the New 595 #abarth, the latest evolutionary step of the iconic Scorpion brand.

 

Available in the saloon or convertible version, the New 595 #abarth range comes in three trim levels (595, 595 Turismo and 595 Competizione) and just as many engine power and tuning levels that satisfy today's increasingly demanding and competent customers. Many of the upgrades introduced are the result of the experience gained with the development of the "smallest supercar": the 695 Biposto, a road car that offers all the thrills and technology of a real #racing car.

 

Another major novelty is the #abarth 124 spider, designed to satisfy the desires of even the most demanding connoisseurs. In particular, the latest Scorpion model is conceived to offer pure driving pleasure, thanks to a lightweight architecture perfectly balanced on its axes, with rear-wheel drive, sophisticated suspension and a 1.4 MultiAir turbo engine generating 170 HP and 250 Nm torque. The latter can be harnessed to a 6-speed manual transmission or else to a 6-speed automatic Esseesse Sequenziale Sportivo transmission with selectors on the steering wheel. The weight-to-power ratio is only 6.2 kg/hp, which facilitates truly top-end performance for its category.

 

Passionate support for the Movistar #yamaha #moto GP Team also comes from members of "The Scorpionship", the brand's sole official community, devoted to #abarth owners, collectors, members of #abarth Clubs and simple fans. Registering at the scorpionship.abarth.com website provides plenty of exciting advantages, promotions and #racing opportunities as well as exclusive invitations to events for all #abarth enthusiasts.
