Fiat's Grande Punto Production Reaches One-Million Mark

On Tuesday, 24 November, the one millionth Grande Punto rolled off the production lines of the Fiat's Italian factory in Melfi. The commemorative Grande Punto is a Passionate Red Sport version equipped with the Italian firm's 1.4 turbocharged petrol engine that puts out 120HP and it is intended for the British market. The first Grande Punto was launched in 2005 and was the heir of Fiat's two best-sellers, the first Punto from manufactured 1993 to 1999 of which 3.5 million were manufactured, while the second series that was launched in 1999 and is still currently on sale under the name Punto Classic, has exceeded 3 million. The Punto itself had replaced Fiat's iconic Uno supermini.
