My interest in our long-term 2011 Fiat 500 has flagged over the months, and even though I should be excited about the Abarth version, I haven't been -- maybe it's the price (cheaper than a Mini, yes, but not cheaper than something like a Mazda 3, which although bigger is still fun on a back road). Then, someone posted a video of a Swiss rally team racing a 500 Abarth R3T on some tarmac and gravel stages last year on Facebook. Then, I found another video. Now I'm into the idea of the 500 Abarth again. But the R3T needs to turn up at X Games this summer.
Two videos after the jump. Skip to 1:10 for both or you'll be driven crazy by the music.

I loved when the fiat got a little air at 4:27.
