About the Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse
The 2008 Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,260 kg with 177 bhp, which works out at 140 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.26 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,562nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 7th quickest of the 455 Fiats here. It leaves better than it pulls: 91.8 mph at the lights is only the 4,571st highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse 0-60 time?
The Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse reaches 60 mph in 6.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,562nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse quarter mile time?
14.89 s at 91.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.54 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.26 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse have?
177 bhp and 1,260 kg, which is 140 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 218 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse?
Closest here on pace: MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 (6.25 s), Citroen DS3 THP 150 (6.23 s), Alpina B10 3.0 Allrad (6.28 s). Each one can be raced against the Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
