Fiat has released the first two official pictures of the naughtiest Grande Punto: the Abarth SS prototype.
Based on the Grande Punto Abarth unveiled at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, the SS version is mainly a booster kit that increases the power by 30 bhp in order to reach 180 bhp. If the basic Abarth version can top 130 mph and runs the 0-60mph in 8.2 s, Fiat has not released any information regarding the performance of the SS kit.
The kit also includes some visual elements just like the adhesives with the ‘essesse’ logo or a chequered flag. The handling has also been improved according to the press release with particular low stance and a more powerful braking system.
