Punto Mk3 (project 199)
New pictures of Punto Mk3 prototypes are available, since those units have been seen out of Italy. These pictures denote the adoption of bigger wheels on Mk3, probably 17" light alloy wheels.
There's evidence of the acceptance of the Maserati-style node |
Light alloy wheels are at last really big: every tuning passionate wil appreciate that! |
Wheels are expected to be 17", with 205/40 R17 tyres |
Don't be fooled by the false rear lights: they will be well integrated with the rest of the tail |
The Punto Mk3 is temporarily equipped with Opel Corsa light alloy wheels!? |
Another hypothesis of the three doors model, here with Stilo 17" wheels. The bonnet has some lines of Peugeot 307 |
Several pictures appeared about the Fiat Punto Mk3, basically in the most popular Italian car magazine: it's the Punto Mk3, which sports a Maserati new trendy nose and quite interesting list of engines.
The nose resembles the new Maserati cars |
The tail is still too much round for popular acceptation |
A propotype seen in Torino |
The same prototype under testing |
The cockpit denotes an evolution with respect Mk2 |
The Fiat Punto Mk3 is rumored for the end of 2005. There is no doubt about an increased synergy with Opel for the full project. Only a sketch is available at the end of 2002.
