Esseesse upgrade kit for the Abarth Punto EVO

ABARTH Punto Evo Esseesse – Hot Hatch or Mini GT?

What do you give the hot hatch that’s got everything? How about more horsepower, more torque and more speed? The Esseesse upgrade is a legendary Abarth tuning kit that transforms your hot hatch into a Mini GT car.

Top Gear says:

…But if you think of the Punto Abarth as a mini GT rather than a hot hatch, a car for economical day-to-day boring stuff with a bit of fizz when you need it, it makes more sense. Go on, give an Abarth a home.

The ABARTH Punto Evo Esseesse Kit Absolutely everything is ramped up: the peak torque reaches a dizzying 270Nm at 3000rpm, the power output is 180bhp and top speeds can reach 134mph. Goodies include perforated, ventilated front disc brakes (diameter 305 mm x 28 mm), perforated rear disc brakes (diameter 264 mm x 11 mm), high performance front brake pads, front and rear Koni shock absorbers with FSD valve, Abarth Red springs set lower than those on the Abarth Punto Evo and Abarth esseesse 7″ x 18″ ET39 alloy wheels painted white or titanium, combined with 215/40 ZR18 tires.. It’s all delivered in a specially designed wooden crate that’s yours to keep once your official Abarth mechanic has kitted out your car. Better use it to pack away any lingering inhibitions: the Abarth Punto Evo Esseesse is only for those who dare to dream.
