Grande Punto-Brutale-check this out

Taken from 4car website-

Fiat has confirmed the launch of its 1.4-litre, turbocharged Grande Punto Abarth - but there's a hotter Grande Punto on the way as well, countering concerns that the Abarth's 150bhp (180bhp with optional booster kit) just isn't enough.


The Grande Punto Brutale, which revives a name used on a version of the Lancia Delta Integrale, is a road-going version of Fiat's Super 2000 rally car. It will develop between 200bhp and 240bhp from its turbocharged engine, possibly a new version of the 2.4-litre unit originally used in the Stilo Abarth, and have four-wheel-drive.

Expect a stripped-out interior, perhaps with the options of a roll cage and the removal of the rear seats, racing harnesses and full rally-style dials and instruments. There'll be a full S2000-style exterior body kit.

Fiat is said to be planning a production run of just 250 cars, in line with the regulations to homologate the rally car. Prices have not yet been outlined.

Re: Grande Punto-Brutale-check this out

now that sounds more interesting, but 200bhp isnt enough IMO

standard hot hatches cars come with that now, needs something closer to 300bhp
