Three years after making a grand return, Fiat Abarth will reveal its second generation Punto at the upcoming Geneva International Motorshow. Based on the new Punto Evo, the hot hatch features a sophisticated 1.4 litre four cylinder engine, which produces 165 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. Despite a 10 bhp and 20 Nm hike in power, the turbo-charged unit is more efficient and cleaner than its predecessor. All this power is transferred to the front wheels through a six speed gearbox. The Fiat Abarth Punto Evo will share the 'Scorpion's' stand with a modified version of the 500C with its roll-back convertible roof. It shares the engine with Punto Evo but equipped with a different turbocharger, it produces 'only' 140 in the smaller Fiat-based machine.
After releasing a teaser picture a few weeks ago, Lexus have now revealed all details of the CT 200h. The all-new Lexus is the first hybrid car in the premium compact market segment. In addition to the petrol-electric engine, the small CT 200h also features a CVT transmission. Its styling is directly derived from the LF-Ch Concept shown last year in Frankfurt.
At last month's NAIAS in Detroit Mercedes-Benz had an unusual sculpture on their stand. It turns out it was a full-size teaser of the F 800 Style Concept that will star in Geneva. It serves to showcase future technology and also as a preview for the new generation CLS. The F 800 is built to accommodate both a hybrid drivetrain and a fuel-cell.
One of the most interesting cars in Geneva will most definitely be the Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid. Based on the Evora road car, this concept is powered by two electric motors. A specifically developed petrol engine can be used to generate additional electricity. The copper-coloured Lotus is packed with sophisticated technology, which is all ready for production. A single picture of the drivetrain is all we can show but we will surely capture every angle of the car this week.
A detailed and well illustrated report will be published here from the show-floor later in the week.
