Abarth will travel to Monte Carlo with a complete new homologation of the Grande Punto S2000:
- Gearbox from X-Trac rather than Sadev
- new transmission
- new rear axle
- new suspension arms
- new steering
- new exhaust system
We are seeing a lot of footage from the Fabia testing, what about Abarth - dont they test and people film or photograph it ?
Abarth surely must test, but the Italians don't seem very good with the internet.
Either that, or it is so top secret that the 'Italian Rally Mafia' will come round and break your legs if you leak any test footage :D
Maybe PLuto need to send a team out :p
As far as I know Scandola drove Punto S2000 09 in some regional rally event in November...
From what I have heard, Alen tested Punto last week in Italy. No footage?
Any feedback from the drivers that has driven it, compared to the 08 model ?

On this one, there is no doubt about driver.
are there any pics about that test?
Here are some pictures: http://forum.autosport.cz/viewtopic....p=12580#p12421
Do you see some visible differences btw the 08 and 09 Abarth ?
external view is the same than 2008, maybe cause the car is an 2008 Chassis.

Abarth need to before 2010 to take a big step forward and to use all available engineering capacity within the FIAT consortium, incl Ferrari F1.
The best way to see that something has to be done, is to look at how many GP has been built and sold in 09.....
