Watch out for the Cheeky Grin on the owners face, when this thing blows you into the weeds. You laugh now, remember this when it happens!

Fun! Sounds like it will handle brilliantly and move quite well… would be a lot of fun on smaller Euro roads (not to mention a couple I know of over here in Oz too) :)

Indeed. Engine should be brilliant in this car.

I can’t wait too see what ATECO does about bringing an Abarth kit for the Punto. I wouldn’t mind ricing mind up.

RoFLaTiC, Abarth was the surname of the business’s austrian-italian founder. Its the same as Ford being named after Henry Ford, or Holden being named after James A Holden, or many other businesses. Next time you post engage your brain first.

Personally I preferred Abarths take on the Punto more than this take on the 500, no matter what body kit you add to a cutesy car like a 500, its never going to really look sporty and aggressive. Engine should be a cracker though.

“Abarth” ???

What were they thinking?! Perhaps it means something in a european language.

A bath :-/

Awesome!

I would really like to test drive that thing when it comes out. 200+ Nm from a 1.4L engine. Awesome.

I could get used to the look (I think). This would be a hoot to drive. Great power to weight and would be fun in the bendy stuff. I understand there is also an SS with over 130 kW to play with.

Speed Freak: Give it six months after it appears on the roads, see how many there are, then tell me they all bought it because it was ugly. But maybe those wheels would look good on your ‘74 Torana.

Brilliant !!

Anyone who can’t appreciate this is an absolute philistine.

99kw in 1000kg or under is plenty enough to get all the thrills you need.

Awesome package, but what a shame about the wheels.
