SOME cars just tempt you to lose your licence. Others beg you to. The Abarth 595 Competizione is the latter, ramming 180hp into an unfeasibly impractical chassis not much bigger than a dodgem. Add on its comically boomy quadruple exhaust system and absolutely no option for either a speed limiter or cruise control and it […]
