FactLook closely at this Punto's nose and headlights — the family resemblance to the Maserati Coupé is real: Giorgetto Giugiaro designed both.
Project 199, again styled by Giugiaro, was unveiled at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show as the Grande Punto on the Fiat Small (SCCS) platform developed with Opel/GM (shared with the Corsa D, Alfa Romeo MiTo, Linea and Fiorino). The engines at launch were the 1.2 8v Fire (65 PS), a 1.4 8v Fire (77 PS) and the 1.4 16v StarJet (95 PS), with MultiJet diesels, a 120 PS T-Jet arriving in 2007 and the first car from the newly created Abarth & C. S.p.A., the Abarth Grande Punto (150/155 PS, plus a 180 hp Essesse kit from 2008). The Punto Evo facelift was presented at the September 2009 Frankfurt show with MultiAir petrol and second-generation Multijet diesel engines, the Abarth Punto Evo (165 PS, shown at Geneva 2010) followed, and the plain "Punto" name returned with the September 2011 facelift, ending production on 7 August 2018 (India to November 2018). Top Gear magazine put the Punto Pop 1.2 8v 69 on its October 2014 "Worst Cars You Can Buy Right Now" list. Fiat sold it in Australia from July 2006 to 2009 and again from 2013; 2.67 million were built.
