Renewal of Partnership
Racing enthusiasts can look forward to an adrenaline-fueled year as Abarth announces the renewal of its partnership with Dubai Autodrome for 2021. This agreement means that the iconic Italian sports car brand will continue to be the "official car partner" of the circuit for another year.
Success of the Previous Partnership
Building on the success of their collaboration in 2020, Abarth has provided three Abarth 595 Competizione vehicles as part of the Dubai Autodrome fleet. This allows speed enthusiasts in the UAE to experience the thrilling performance of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, producing 180 horsepower, right on the racetrack!

Abarth is a symbol of high performance and Italian style in the compact sports car segment, and it is ready to welcome local fans through the Abarth Club Dubai, the brand's first official club in the Middle East. More than 50 Abarth enthusiasts will assist in hosting and participating in events at the circuit throughout the year.
