Abarth has recently released new details of the Punto SuperSport, which has been unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Accordingly, the most powerful version of the Punto is distinguished by matte black accents, Grey Campovolo body stripes and a fresh set of 17-inch alloy wheels. In addition, the high-performance model also features a modified exhaust system, a high performance braking system, Koni shock absorbers and a low ride height.

Inside, the cabin comes with sport leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and the Blue&Me connectivity system. There's also automatic climate control, stainless steel pedals and unique floor mats.

Power comes from a 1.4-liter MultiAir engine with 178 hp at 5,750 rpm and 270 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and hit a top speed in excess of 216 km/h. In terms of efficiency, it returns 6.1-liter per 100 km (46.3 mpg UK / 38.5 mpg US) with CO2 emissions of 142 g/km.

Only 199 units will be produced and Italian pricing starts at €21,900.
