Abarth Punto EVO

The Abarth Punto EVO is a special version powered by a 1.4 liter MutiAir gasoline engine delivering 165 hp. The revised design features new wheels, bumpers, spoilers, skirts and motorsports-inspired diffusers which confer a sporty look while improving dynamic efficiency.

In this version the unit delivers 165 hp and a peak torque of 250 Nm (25.5 kgm) at 2250 rpm, which allow to achieve a 0.100 km/h time of just 7.9 seconds.

Compared to a conventional gasoline engine of equivalent size, a MultiAir engine develops more power (up to 10%) and more torque (up to 15%), while consuming significantly less (up to 10%) and emitting less CO2 (up to 10%), fewer particulates (up to 40%) and less NOx (up to 60%).

Among the technical highlights is the TTC (Torque Transfer Control), a performance mode selection system that modulates engine, braking and steering action to offer a choice of two different driving styles - Sport and Normal.
