With the Geneva Motor Show approaching closer, global automakers have made sure that they have their best commuters ready for the event. As far as Abarth goes, it will be staging the Abarth Punto and the Abarth 500C courtesy of its collaboration with Fiat.

Abarth Punto may replicate Fiat Punto’s name but the spec sheet hints at a completely different offering with a 1.4L Multi-Air engine that produces 162hp and helps the automobile dash from 0 to 100km/h in 7.9 seconds. The Abarth 500C will come with a rocking’ electric soft top and a third brake light integrated in to the rear spoiler. Under the hood will be a 1.4 Turbo T-Jet engine that produces 138hp and help the car pelt from 0 to 100km/h in 8.1 seconds.

One of the most interesting releases to look out for at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show will be the Fiat Punto Evo — an ‘evolved’ version of the ever so popular Grande Punto. Comparing the two will make you realize that the Punto Evo has minor changes on the outside and that includes new front and rear bumpers.

Effectively, the serious changes are evident on the inside where there is an updated dash and improved seats. The storage compartments have also been puffed-up and plus there is better an instrument cluster. As far as finding your way through the street goes, you will be duly assisted by the “Blue&Me-TomTom “system that features both telephone, navigation and information functions. Nothing concrete about the engines, what we know is that the car will be up for sale in October. Not much longer to way for it …
