Leaked Specs Reveal Punto Abarth is Twice as Quick as i20 or Polo

Fiat has officially confirmed the launch of Punto Abarth sometime in October along with its sizzling 145 bhp power output from the 1.4 liter T-Jet motor. But how quick will it be with all the added fire..?

A leaked spec sheet by Team Fiat Moto Club has revealed that Punto Abarth will scorch to 100 kmph from naught in 8.8 secondsĀ flat. And if that doesn’t sound ‘fast’, comparison with other hatchbacks will. For reference, this is almost twice as quick as Elite i20 and Polo – both petrol models. The closest, as one can expect, is the Volkswagen’s turbocharged 1.2 liter GTI which lags by 2.4 seconds.
