Abarth announced today that it will reveal Esseesse kits for the Abarth Punto Evo and Abarth 500C at this year’s Paris Motor Show. These were especially designed in order to improve performance, handling and safety without sacrificing the car's low emissions and fuel consumption. The Punto Evo esseesse delivers an impressive 180 hp and a maximum torque of 270 Nm at 3000 rpm. It can hit 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and has a top speed of 216 km/h.
The smaller 500C essesse caries 160 hp and delivers a maximum torque of 230 Nm. It can accelerate to 100 km/h in just 7.6 seconds and has a top speed of 209 km/h.
The Abarth Punto Evo esseesse will make its debut at the Paris auto show in a Campovolo Grey body (named after the airfield located opposite the company's historic headquarters in Corso Marche), with an Abarth band in the body shade and 18’’ alloys and special titanium-coloured esseesse design. Inside, the car features a Campovolo grey and Pista grey two-tone livery with a white chromatic liner.
The 500C will be coming with an original Record Monza exhaust silencer (dual mode with variable counterpressure) as well as with an Abarth Blue&MeTM MAP satellite navigation system with telemetrics.
