Abarth 09 Testing

[Sulland]

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 ?

[RS]

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

[Sulland]

Maybe PLuto need to send a team out

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?

[Sulland]

Any feedback from the drivers that has driven it, compared to the 08 model ?

I don't think that Basso is driving here.

On this one, there is no doubt about driver.

Do you see some visible differences btw the 08 and 09 Abarth ?
