Fiat Grande Punto Abarth
As we first informed you way back in July, Fiat will indeed resurrect its fabled scorpion brand, as it has just made public that it will roll out this pretty Grande Punto Abarth at the Geneva Motor Show to start the renaissance.
The turbocharged, 1.4-liter four-cylinder hot hatch will bring 150 horsepower (@ 5500 rpm) routed through a six-speed gearbox, and includes such other unique features as electric power steering with a dedicated “sport” mode, drive-by-wire throttle, and Brembo brakes.
The usual catalog of go-faster bits have been added here to good effect, including fender flares, 17-inch alloys, and a restrained ground effects package. While this car doesn’t have the highest of engine outputs, it looks to be an entertaining package– one that’s certainly nice to look at. Shame it won’t see North American roads, then.
