Fiat Punto Jet Black 2 launched

Supermini buyers might be forgiven for overlooking the Fiat Punto, simply because there are plenty of newer and arguably more capable alternatives available. But the Punto is still a stylish contender, so the just-revealed Jet Black 2 limited edition could stimulate a few extra sales.

Offered in three-door form only, it lives up to its name with metallic black paintwork and dark-tinted rear privacy glass. Also fitted are 12-spoke 17” alloy wheels, side skirts, a tailgate spoiler and some blue side stripes.

The standard equipment list seems generous enough. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, rear parking sensors and automatic climate control. Sports suspension, adaptive cornering front fog lights and five airbags complete the specification.

There’s just one engine option though, a 1.4 litre petrol unit which develops 76 bhp (57 kW / 77 PS).

The Punto Jet Black 2 carries an on-the-road price tag of £12,000. That makes it £440 more expensive than the equivalent Easy model.

The hot ST should hopefully be arriving in showrooms soon but, until that happens, the quickest Fiesta available will be the just-announced Metal special edition. Based on the existing three-door Zetec S, it comes complete with Ford’s Tuning Pack that lifts the 1.6 litre Duratec engine’s power by 13 bhp (8 kW / 14 PS) to 132 bhp (96 kW / 134 PS). Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either. It gets Ebony Black leather sports seats, Piano Black trim, stainless steel door scuff plates and unique floor mats. Only 1,000 examples of the Ford F
