Abarth 500 Convertible and Abarth Punto EVO Rumored to Debut in Geneva

Rumors of the pending arrival of the Abarth branded Fiat 500C and Punto Evo have been circulating for months, but Italian car magazine Quattroruote is certain now that both models will have their official world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in about two weeks time from today.


There's nothing official about the two cars (the above photo is a Carscoop photoshop) but we expect to see Abarth's version of the 500 Convertible featuring the same bodykit and mechanical upgrades - including the 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol engine and sportier suspension setup, as its tin-top sibling.


As for the Abarth Punto Evo, aside from the new sheetmetal and interior upgrades of the facelifted model, it is believed that it will benefit from the Fiat Group's new and more powerful, 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo engine with 170 horsepower that recently premiered on the Alfa Romeo MiTo QV (click here for details).

New Fiat Punto EVO: Mega Gallery with 60 High-Res Photos

In typical Fiat fashion, the Italian automaker took its time to release a full gallery of its cosmetically refreshed and mechanically updated Grande Punto that has been renamed to Punto EVO for the 2010 model year. Unveiled for the first time at this month's Frankfurt Motor Show, the Italian supermini gets newly styled bumpers and lights at the front and the rear while a redesigned three-piece grille and new alloy wheel designs complete the exterior updates.


Meanwhile, the cabin receives a comprehensive makeover with a redesigned dashboard that features a new instrument cluster and center console plus new seats and fabric options.


Beneath the skin, the Punto Evo features a wide range of Euro 5 engines, including a second-generation 1.3 MultiJet diesel that offers an improvement of around 2 percent in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and a new 1.4 MultiAir gasoline unit that utilize electrohydraulic valve management to reduce fuel consumption by controlling air directly through the inlet valves without using the throttle.

Fiat claims that the 1.4-liter's MutliAir system cuts emissions by 10 percent while delivering 10 percent more power and 15 percent more torque than the regular 1.4L engine/


The revamped supermini also gains a new Blue&Me-TomTom infotainment system. European sales of the Punto EVO will begin in the second half of October.
