General Panda Versions

[petebarchetta]

had my 54 plate multipla recalled for Spring change and ECU upgrade / reprogramme. The service guy left an alfa 159 on the driveway
Tasty bit of machinery the car is serviced now at my local dealership as opposed to the bad service attitude i received from the dealership i bought both my cars from!!!
anyway more to the point, the discussion i had with the Service engineer raised some eyebrows, the panda abarth 1400cc you probably already know about. what suprised me was that a 1600cc twin cam is coming out
which should provide some interesting performance
anyone confirm this???

I've seen this:

It says "inspired by the Abarth prototype" so may be that this Sport will be as close as we get to a real Abarth. But when I think of the cracking 1.6 in my Stilo liberated in the body of a Panda, wow, what a propsect. Sign me up now!
