General APE - Breaking news - Abarth Punto Evo

very nice! pleased they have gotten rid of those crap plastic wheel arches from the previous gp abarth. plastic wheel arches are for work vans not sports cars
 
when is the abarth evo released?
Will be on show at Geneva. When this is the case, they are then usually released about 6 months later.

As quick as a normal abarth but with better fuel consumption...where is the catch? The list price will be sky high, that's where (n)

Think i'll wait for them to come down a bit in price and then try and find a bargain
 
If the new abarth is released soon and they stop making the old one, wouldn't that mean that the old abarths would become limited and hold their price. there cant be that many in the uk. :confused:
It's not replacing the normal abarth i don't think
 
Gussing it'll look best in black which will hide most of the crimes commited during the Evo rehash. Looks good from the side though and starting to get over the back bumper..

Let’s deal with the mainstream stuff first. The Abarth Punto Evo uses the highly regarded 1.4-litre MultiAir engine, but here tweaked up to 161bhp and 184lb ft thanks to a larger turbo, yielding a 0-62mph time of 7.9 seconds. Quick-ish, but not that fast, so it’s just as well Abarth will also offer an Esseesse kit with 180bhp. The MultiAir unit also offers start-stop tech, allowing it to return 47mpg on the combined cycle.

There are also mods to the suspension (larger anti-roll bar and 20 per cent stiffer front springs), while inside the Abarth Punto features electrically selectable driving modes. You can choose from Normal and Sport via a switch next to the gearlever, with Sport engaging the TTC (Torque Transfer Control) and sharpening up driving systems such as the throttle and steering.
