(from Abarth Press
Release) Bolstered by the success of the recent conversion
kits (one Abarth 500 in three is converted using the official kit),
Abarth has expanded its range by launching the world premiere of the
esseesse kits for the new Abarth 500C and Abarth Punto Evo models in
Paris. These are designed to improve performance, handling and
safety without having to sacrifice the car's low emissions and fuel
consumption.
The stand will host two
esseesse cars that perfectly illustrate the spirit of Abarth tuning,
encapsulating substance and unassuming good looks: in accordance
with brand tradition and market requirements, Abarth cars are a mix
of sporty yet elegant looks and safe driving experience, yet always
with sporty performance levels. The Punto Evo esseesse is in fact
capable of 180 HP with truly thrilling performance levels: maximum
torque of 270 Nm at 3000 rpm, top speed of 216 km/h and acceleration
from 0-100 km/h in just 7.5 seconds.
The Abarth Punto Evo
esseesse is exhibited with a Campovolo Grey body, named after the
airfield, still operational today, that is located opposite the
company's historic headquarters in Corso Marche, Turin. This was
where the young Karl Abarth used to buy paint for his cars, the very
same Campovolo grey shade used for aircraft. In detail, the Abarth
Punto Evo on show combines this particular colour with an Abarth
band in the body shade and 18’’ alloys in a special titanium-coloured
esseesse design. Inside, the car features Abarth Corse by Sabelt
seats in black leather with a distinctly sporty design and an Abarth
Blue&MeTM MAP satellite navigation system complete with telemetrics
developed with Magneti Marelli.
These two models may be
very different but they share a single spirit, the sporting spirit
of the Abarth scorpion logo, which has proved itself capable of
igniting the passion of thousands of motorists with a taste for
challenge, performance and Italian style. In the words of the
advertising slogan “More power to your senses”, on an Abarth car all
your senses are stimulated to the maximum. The perception is further
amplified by the two kits that guarantee even more driving
performance and adrenaline: all in all, the Abarth conversion kits
represent empowerment taken to its highest levels.
