One of the most exciting cars to be displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show is the Fiat Punto Evo, the revised version of the Grande Punto. The model, which is expected to go on sale in the UK in the spring, gets upgrades in its styling as well as with its engine range, which now includes the innovative 1.4-liter petrol Multiair unit.
The Alfa Romeo Mito would be the first car in the Fiat family to receive the engine while the Punto Evo would be the second.
