Abarth will exhibit a variety of models at Geneva Motor Show, including its powerful Abarth Punto Evo model and the Abarth 500C.
Two Abarth products will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Abarth Punto Evo (Abarth Punto Evo) and Abarth 500C (Abarth 500C) are the latest creations of the collaboration between Fiat and Abarth.
The Abarth version is based on the Fiat Punto Evo, which was introduced in September 2009. The 1.4-litre Multiair engine is its performance base, boosting it to 121kW (162 PS / 162 HP). At 2250rpm, the large Garrett turbo increases maximum torque to 250Nm (184lb-ft). It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. A future SS model with 132 kW (180 PS / 178 hp), 18 inch wheels, and high-performance brakes will offer even more performance.
Other innovations include a new performance mode selection system that allows the driver to choose between a Sport or Normal driving mode depending on the conditions. The Torque Transfer Control, (TTC), is said to increase torque transfer from engine to wheels and improve handling.
Exterior changes include a larger front bumper, a deeper intake Cowl for better aerodynamics, and a redesign rear bumper. There is also an air diffuser, larger twin tailpipes, and a new rear bumper. Abarth also provided equipment such as larger dials and new graphics that are race-inspired.
A Abarth 500C is being introduced by the company. It’s designed to blow anyone’s mind. The car features an electric softtop (available in black or grey titanium), and a MacPherson front suspension. It also has a Turbo T-Jet engine of 103kW (140 PS/138 hp and 206Nm (152lb-ft). Abarth claims it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.1 seconds. It also returns an average of 6.5 l/100 km (43.4% mpg imp) in combined cycles.
These cars will be available in Japan and Europe in the coming months. The Abarth serviced markets will continue to grow.
