Abarth 500C and Punto Evo EsseEsse - Click above for high-res image gallery
Following the introduction of
Abarth-tuned versions of both the
Fiat 500C and Punto Evo at the
Geneva Motor Show, the Scorpion brand is preparing to roll into
Paris with even
hotter versions of both.
Carrying the EsseEsse moniker, both models get a substantial boost in output and a variety of upgrades to match. In the case of the 500C - the semi-convertible version of the popular retro hatch - we're looking at 160 horsepower (up from 138 in the "base" Abarth 500C) for a 7.6-second sprint to 62 mph. The Abarth Punto Evo EsseEsse, by comparison, is tuned to 180 horsepower, resulting in a run of 7.5 seconds.
Both feature an array of upgrades to the suspension, brakes, rolling stock and more, plus Blue&Me connectivity and Record Monza exhaust (for the 500C) and
Sabelt racing buckets (for the Punto). Full details can be found in the press release after the jump, but we'll have more for you from Versailles at the end of the month.
