Grande Punto Sports @ the Auto Expo 2010, New Delhi
Some good news for the hot hatch fans. Fiat is all set to launch the Grande Punto Sports in the second week of June, as we predicted earlier.
According to our sources the exact date of the launch would be 17th June to coincide with the first anniversary of the Grande Punto in India which was launched on the same date in 2009.
The new Grande Punto Sports will come with the same 1.3 litre Multijet engine but now force fed by a variable geometry turbo to develop more than 90 bhp of maximum power and 208 nm of maximum torque. Fiat will also offer a rear spoiler, sporty decals, dual tone leather seats and bigger alloys wheels to complete the look. An optional electric sunroof may also be offered as an option.
The Grande Punto has always been a good handler and with the new more powerful engine under the hood, is expected to even more fun to drive. The new Punto will appeal to the young at heart and to someone who always wanted a Punto but found the current 75 bhp engine a tad underpowered.
