Power is transmitted to the wheels by Fiat’s C501 gearbox (that powers the Bolt diesel). Other tweaks include a stiffer track-tuned suspension which gives the car a lower stance.

Talking of wheels, the rim size has increased to 17 inches now, and it wears 205-section tyres.

The side profile gets a revised fender with air scoops and a side skirt, while the rear gets new bumper with diffuser styling and twin exhausts. The strip above the number plate appears to be mildly altered.
