Great video - My wife has just bought a 2024 695 turismo and the only manual is one downloaded from the internet in pdf format so watching this was very helpful.
Hello Nick, I,,m a 60 odd year old geezer, just bought a 2018 Fiat 500 Abarth just had it remapped to stage1 for now ,wow having so much fun with this car, just subscribed to your channel and watched all your vids, Love the way you present them your latest one the TTC switch was really helpful thanks. May I ask is that a 7 inch media unit in your car if so can you advise a purchase retailer and what make. Cheers will look forward to next vid.
Hi! Thanks for the kind words about the channel :) This came as standard with this car, but I do know that their are a few after market variations that include Apple Play. I think Kenwood is the favourite! :)
It takes over from the ESC cutting the power to the engine for sure! On a dry day though, with warm tires, I have found that with TTC off, it's been more aggressive! Maybe I need to get the stop watch out to test...
I ordered my 695 too late in 2022, actually 2 days before they stopped accepting orders for 22, so i was still lucky to get one in rally blue instead of orange, as i like green and blue colors more; but i was not only unlucky in that i couldn't get a 595 competizione in adrenalina green anymore, but also i couldn't get the competizione package any more as they stopped offering the lsd for my23. Good thing about this is that my22 without the competizione package came with the softer, cloth covered gt version of the sabelt seats, wich you have too, whereas the competizione package has the leatherette race version of those seats; but now i don't have a factory lsd and i will have to get an aftermarket one at some point. I read into this before ordering the car and i know that the ttc is basically a worse performing replacement of a locking diff, as it uses the breaks to emulate the function. But so far i haven't used it, because i am a bit stressed about the idea of wearing down my breaks quicker and unevenly, as they have to effectively fight the engine on the inner tire, while going around the corner. But at high speed (around 150-200 km/h on unrestricted parts of the german highway) i do most definitely feel the car understeering. A friend of mine who drove it, who didn't have any prior exprerience with high performance versions of wrong wheel drive cars, was also caught a bit by surprise, as he had to steer harder on the bend when he accelerated to about 150 km/h. This year, now that i finally got the car after 14 months of waiting from the date of order to the delivery, i plan to go out on tourist drives on the nordschleife. While i am a beginner and i won't be pushing it anyway and go way too slow on my first laps, i still feel a bit nervous about the understeer; but i'm also a bit afraid of voiding the warranty on a brand new car, by getting an aftermarket diff installed. After a couple of laps i want to try one with ttc on to sse the difference, but i do feel uneasy about the idea of over wearing and most importantly overheating the front breaks.
Just be careful with the TTC, as I mentioned in my experience, at high speeds, it can just stop working which gives you a very fast amount of understeer in a scary moment! It's great for gripping roundabouts and hard corners at lower speeds.
It’s not left on as default as it uses the front brakes as per video. If you leave on all the time, you’re have uneven pad and disc ware. I would leave it off and use when needs be.
I have tried it and I can say it is better. Works well with LSD. I think it definitely reduces the traction control and stops abrupt cut of power when loosing traction. It also improves roundabouts and hairpins. I almost wrote the car off today on greasy roads but that is pure driver error. Full on lift off oversteer snaking, shit my pants moment 😂. Car is also stage 1 with forge induction and turbo inlet pipe.
Amazing how ill informed many people are on the forums. The button is a seriously good handicap. I have read in the wet its best to keep it off but I need some track time to figure that out!
Good content 👍🏻 would love to see some dragy times, 30-70, 0-60. I have a mapped Comp and 30-70 is 5.2 secs (starting in second gear at around 25mph and boot it) not sure if this is a good time as I e not seen another 30-70 time for an abarth.
Good video topic millions of people don’t know what this button does or read the manual of the car. I always have this on love it on roundabouts
Have the car since 4 years and now know the function 😂 thanks 🙏
Literally happened to me too! That's why I had to do the video haha
I'm new to Abarth just purchased 595 and now it makes sense what this TTC does. thank you! Have been watching your videos and enjoys watching them!
Thank you so much!
Top notch video didn’t know about that button 😮

Awesome video. I shall be having mine on from now on! The example around the roundabout was mad! It really displayed the difference. Thank you 👍

Thanks man, very nice explanation.👍
The roundabout tripod footage is crazy. I thought this button meant I'd be more likely to crash but clearly not lmao
Is it true if you hold it down for 10 seconds it turns ESC and TTC completely off?
I don't actually know!
Imagine doing that on accident
According to Abarth, the TTC simply applies braking pressure to whatever wheel is spinning/slipping.
TTC is also really good for launches as it disables the traction control to some degree, you will always get better times that with ttc off

I've never tried it I will have to give it a go might just leave it on is that ok
You can definitely leave it on!

Is it safe to leave that button on all the time? Sweet vid by the way 👌
Yes it's safe, but I don't recommend it.
On mine (Abarth Pista 2020)
I put the TTC on daily and after 10,000 km my rear brake pads are already dead.
I don't see an issue with it being on all the time! Depends how hard you drive ;)
@@nainportequoi4942 thanks! Good point since it does use the brakes haha
@@arautosspecialists thanks! Hmm that's a good question haha :)
I have an EsseEsse with LSD, how does this interact with the LSD?
I always have it turned on and i have the factory lsd, was confused at first but seems to be better on bends with this activated
Interesting! I'll drive the EssEsse and find out! Let me know how you get on

@@lewisransome4268 Yer it's terrifying when the road gets you! haha Love it, drive safe!

Definitely a good shout! I would love to know the times of this before & after all the changes.
Holy crap, I assumed it was something for trafic control of the radio 😂
🤣🤣🤣
