FIAT ABARTH PUNTO EVO: NOT PRETTY, BUT A SURPRISINGLY POTENT PULLER WITH SOME SMART TECHNOLOGY

摘要

It looks better, goes harder, has more grip and a lovely engine note, so what's not to love about the Fiat Abarth Punto Evo? Apart from a facelift that would make a Hollywood malpractice lawyer froth at the bit, there's not much at all. There are three keys to this car: the tauter, stiffer suspension, the torque-transfer control system and the little big heart under the bonnet. The 1,4-litre four-cylinder donk inherits the same set of Multiair 'bricks' as the upgraded Mito and it transforms the engine from something that was usefully fun in a lot of areas to something that is disturbingly strong at low rpm.
