A few days before their official entry (it's scheduled for Friday), the Punto Abarth Evo 500c and are appearing on the Web thanks to a few shots "fallen from the truck." The opportunity to discover the bombinettes Italian premiere.
And the engineers and designers from Fiat seem to have not done things by halves. The small 500c (tested here in its classical version) adopts the same aerodynamic style and the Abarth 500 classic. We thus find the most ventilated shields, the more muscular lower body or specific Abarth rims.
Under the hood, we should find (unsurprisingly) the same 1.4 T-Jet engine of 133 horsepower and 206Nm, but this time would be available mated to a sequential gearbox with steering wheel controls.
The 500c is also expected to propose new body colors, and new war paint and stickers unpublished.
As for the Punto Evo, it is even more alluring than in the past, receiving roughly the same improvements as the Fiat. We thus find the big bands of protection to the front and back, but integrated with shields more muscular. If the front is to match the rear, the style of the car will surely spice, since an air diffuser and dual exhaust just make the car even more aggressive!
The big innovation is that the Punto Abarth will be entitled to Evo engine 1.4 Multiair, probably in its 170-horsepower variant, which already powers the Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde.
The Abarth Punto Evo 500c and should logically receive their esseesse variant (already tried here and there for the 500 classic and here for the Grande Punto) in the coming months.
