Re: Fiat Punto Abarth

I have to say I really don't like the styling of that car...

Re: Fiat Punto Abarth

Quite like that. I'd be interested to learn how the journo has taken spokes which are in pairs and counted 9 of them though

Re: Fiat Punto Abarth

150bhp is OK but could do with more as a FIAT option. According to the top Gear article the 180bhp is with an after market option.

Re: Fiat Punto Abarth

The EsseEsse kit is now officially on sale, which will bring the Grande Punto Abarth from 155 to 180hp.

I like it. I remember reading about it in Auto italia a few months back.

Certainly on my wish list for when they get a bit cheaper.
