My Campovolo Grey Abarth Punto Evo

Hi guys, long time no speak. I've been on and off for a while but not posted in a few years lol.

Anyway, the Mrs has treated me to a newer car for my birthday. It's a 2011 Abarth Punto Evo finished in Campovolo Grey, it's running 163bhp atm but i plan to add a tuning box for a bit more power for now.

Only took a few quick snaps last week and collected it Monday, being a Fiat i've already started shopping :D

That's actually quite nice! It seems to sit pretty low as well, is that standard?

I'd like to test drive one of these, compare it to my GT haha!

No SEB chips for these then? :lol:

It doesn't compare to a GT, it doesn't have that raw power. It goes very well, hardly any boost lag and the comfort and handling is excellent. The sports mode is great, it hasn't been turned off other than to try normal driving mode.

It is fairly low as standard but i'm waiting in today for my delivery of Esseesse lowering spring, should make it sit 15-20mm lower :)

Oh and yes, atm it's all standard with a few optional extras from factory

Wow, that looks really nice!!

Thanks Dan, they look even better in the flesh

Anyway, had a few bits delivered today :)

Just visual mods atm, will be getting performance mods a little later on

Balls!! Can't edit it, will someone remove the top link please

That's really nice that! Any interior pictures?

Very nice!!

Doesn't look grey to me though 😉

I'll get some proper pics up later Si and it really is grey, it looks a little like Primer until up close

Looks mean from the back! Do you get any change in exhaust note when in Sport mode?

Have you measured the front brakes? Are they 305mm discs same as Coupe?

The exhaust is rather quiet in both modes, inquired about a new custom stainless exhaust but I'm not sure what to do but I would like it a little louder

I'll measure the brakes some time this week, gotta change the lowering springs

Front discs are 305mmx28mm

Best colour for one of these, looks smart

Ner, with a nice refined car you don't want it mega loud, not inside the cabin anyway!

That's the thing though Dan, you can't really hear it with the windows open. I just want a subtle tone, no pops and bangs

Hmm. :)

nice car that

Really like this Punto Evos. I think they look miles better than the Grande. Shame Fiat didn't like the Abarth version too much :(
