Hi,
i owned a grande punto basic 1.4 manual model (just called punto in australia) a few years ago & it was as enjoyable as it was underpowered to drive!

Now I am looking at buying a abarth punto but the australian spec abarth is extremely hard to find information on - for example are the australian abarth puntos upgraded to the 150hp engine?

how can i check if this car is a abarth? it certainly has lots of abarth badges on it, but Im a bit worried it might not have all the abarth options (bigger turbo?) & just be a normal turbo sport...

if i get the chassis number is there a way i can check to what speciification the car was built to?

its a 2009 year build.

thanks
Andy
 
oh yeah, its only done 30,ooo miles & like new apparently..
might go look at it tonight
 
^thanks.

well the orange one I was first interested in turned out to be just a normal sport - and I did a check on it & found out it had been in an accident & reparied.

I've found another sport turbo 120hp, but if I buy it I would really need more power/torque.


love these cars but upgrade parts & support are extremely hard to find :confused:
 
220nm of torque is pleanty for a 1200kg car BUT there are a few things that can be done to squeeze a little more out ;)
