The Abarth Punto comes with ABS (antilock braking system) and EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution) which ensure stability at high speeds.
The hatchback's engine is mated with a five-speed manual gearbox. The top speed is estimated to be at 190 kms per hour.
Abarth Punto is powered by a 1.4-litre T-Jet engine that delivers a massive 145 BHP of power, attaining a speed of 100 kms per hour in barely 8.8 seconds.
The 5-door hatchback is the first mainstream vehicle to break the 10-second barrier to cross 100 kms per hour speed in the country.
The hot hatchback gets Abarth badge, Abarth decals on both sides, 16-inch alloy wheels and wing mirrors & grille in contrast shade.
The interiors are done in an all-black theme and the seat fabrics get yellow and red color lining (similar to Abarth logo), adding some sportiness to the interiors as well.
Abarth Punto claims a fuel efficiency of 16.8.
Volkswagen's Polo GT TSI and the recently updated Ford Figo will be its main rivals.
