Historic Test Drive

Abarth turns 70 in 2019 and that’s reason enough for something special!

In 1933 Carlo Abarth, founder of, racer and daredevil challenges the Orient Express to a race. From Ostend to Vienna. Abarth on a motorbike and the Orient Express ... on the tracks. After a fierce ride of 1.370 km, Abarth wins with a 20-minute lead.

As a tribute to Abarth, we are recreating this great historic race.. as a test drive. The same idea stands: a race from Ostend to Vienna, but now in an Abarth 595 Competizione against the modern public transport! The ultimate historical test drive.

Register with 2 people for this test drive and decide which one of you will drive with Abarth and who will travel with public transportation. The racer not only gets the most historically loaded test drive ever, he also represents Abarth as a brand.

During the race you will be assisted by a professional co-pilot who will race with you and teach you how to properly drive an Abarth. Are you ready to take your place alongside Carlo Abarth in the history books?

Abarth. Let’s play again.
