I never thought it would of looked this good i may get 1 has any of you bought 1 yet ? whats the drive/power/handling like ?

Give peeps a chance to order them up!

But you're right... Tasty bit of kit

Yeah that is smart. The steering wheel looks the same as the Punto Evo Sporting but with a fancy metallic bit at the bottom, wonder if you can get that part on its own

Does look really nice, step up from the Sporting & price reflects it rather than being way out, but its still a steep price for an Evo, no doubt there will be more on top once it comes to picking exactly what you want.

20k - Opens up alot of hot hatches.

As far as I remember, it's doesn't have a lot more umph, than the standard Sport.

But I guess, if you like a silly bodykit, well.

165bhp / lowered / springs / uprated brakes etc, bound to be pretty tasty, but the price tag i think nails the market its aimed at. (Other than the enthusiasts)

Perhaps it was the initial reports of the Abarth when it was announced a long time ago I am recalling.

Obviously the spec is now more confirmed.

Although it does have some rather nice features I would have wanted, honestly, I think the Sport is a better value for money package. But I can see the kit for the 180 version is more of a wow, imo.

Not that it applies to the UK, but I don't even think you can buy it here. Specialists may import it though. But under the Danish tax system, it would be an utterly silly price, making it unavailable to most buyers.

seems like a collectors car considering what you can get for that money.

I always loved the old punto turbos, when the punto evo came out iv wanted to go im one ever since.

Are they any faster the tan the punto gt turbo?

The SS (180 BHP) has acceleration of 0-60 in 7.5 secs, not too fast.

i know an owner now, he collected it last week, waiting to see him to get some pics, heard very positive things tho so far!

0-60 in 7.5 doesn't mean it isnt quick.

It's got lots of pulling power low down and will feel faster than the 0-60 suggests.

I of all people know that, same story with my A500! The new APE (Abarth Punto EVO) has more power as standard 155 BHP than the A500 and is Fiats new Multi air engine, so refinement torque and power are all increased over the T-jet unit. I'm test driving an APE soon

Well when i got there, it was already out! Maybe I can test one when i collect my car on Saturday. Saw one in the showroom in grey with Red stripes etc, looked pretty scary must admit! Got a loan car Abarth 500 SS at the moment, goes well too!

Someone around Witham(Essex) area has one, I saw it this morning. It looks mean as fook on the road This is the best I could for a pic, if you can really call it that lol
