GRANDE PUNTO +

ESSEESSE LOGO

2008 - 2010

THE ABARTH GRANDE PUNTO IS THE FIRST CAR TO BE RELEASED BY THE NEWLY CREATED(2007) FIAT-OWNED ABARTH & C. S.p.A. POWERED BY A POWERFUL 1.4 T-JET 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, IT PRODUCES 155 HP. AS FROM 2008 THERE WAS AN ESSEESSE KIT WHICH ADDED UPRATED BRAKES, SUSPENSION AND INCREASED POWER OUTPUT OF 180 HP

Abarth was last seen as a badge-engineered ‘warm’ version of the unpopular Stilo, and fans of the iconic marque with decades of racing and tuning heritage would be justified in feeling nervous. But Fiat has bestowed Abarth status as a brand in its own right, alongside Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Maserati in its automotive stable. The 155bhp hatchback (180bhp with factory-approved dealer modifications) is impressive on the road and is good value, plus it should remain exclusive as a result of the small network of specialist dealers.

Initially the Abarth Grande Punto was released with a 150 PS (155 PS when using 97 RON fuel) 1.4 turbo engine, but from 2008 there was available an Essesse kit, which could be installed at official Abarth service centres rather than in the factory. Amongst various refinements included uprated brakes and suspension, the Essesse kit provided an uprated power output of 180 hp.

The first car from the newly created (2007) Fiat-owned Abarth & C. Sp A. the Abarth Grande Punto differs significantly from its donor car.
