2012 Abarth 500 Punto SuperSport news, pictures, and information

'Heritage' is the element that distinguishes the special Abarth Punto 'SuperSport' series, typified by a Grigio Campovolo two-tone livery enriched wîth a special matte black paintwork for the bonnet and roof, which interprets in its design an element in the past used on the racing cars to prevent the light reflections.

The exterior of the car is further enhanced by 'supersport' graphics on the side panel and on the tailgate and by matt black mirror covers. The same colour also distinguishes the 18' alloy rims wîth dedicated Abarth esseesse design wîth red calipers and hub cap.

Powered by a 1.4 Multiair engine that develops 180 HP (132 kW) at 5,750 rpm and wîth 270 Nm of maximum torque at 2,500 rpm, the Abarth Punto 'SuperSport' reaches a top speed of more than 216 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.5 seconds.

Further contributions to performance come from the modified suspension and safety (some of the features of the 'Esseesse Abarth Koni' kit), as well as the adoption of floating, perforated and self-ventilated front disc brakes wîth oversized four-piston red brake calipers, perforated rear disc brakes, high performance front brake pads, front and rear Koni shock absorbers wîth FSD (Frequency Selective Dumping) valve and specially lowered springs. The exhaust pipe oversized in the centre §egmènt is also taken from the 'Esseesse' kit.

Inside, this special Abarth Punto supersport features 'Abarth Corsa by Sabelt' black leather seats, wîth red and yellow stitchings and gloss black backrest (homologated and lightened in keeping wîth the car's racing spirit) and an Abarth Blue&MeTM MAP satellite navigation unit wîth a telemetric function developed in conjunction wîth Magneti Marelli. Enriching the interiors are the laser-treated aluminium kick plate wîth special 'supersport' graphics, the stainless steel pedals wîth Abarth brand, and the leather §teering wheel wîth double red and yellow stitching, just like the seats and the sporty Jaeger driving instruments.
