Fiat 500 Abarth EsseEsse or Mini Cooper S

I recently looked at the 500 Abarth and found it quite good, but now I have read a few tests and it says that even the EsseEsse can not stand on the highway. I always drive a Stueck motorway to work, so it is important for a flicker at least to keep up with a mini? 80-180km/h 500: 21.6s Mini: 16.4s The 500 is even lighter and has more torque than the mini?! What is this huge difference? Here’s a link that m m a friend who also shows the times:Compare 500 / Mini
