FIAT fans could find themselves turning black and blue thanks to a new limited edition version of the Punto supermini.

The Italian carmaker has just introduced the Punto Jet Black 2 model, complete with refinements like the company's Blue&Me infotainment system.

Powered by a 77bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine fitted with Start&Stop as standard, the newcomer is priced at £12,000.

It is available only as a three-door variant and is finished in Crossover Black metallic paint and is equipped with dark tinted rear privacy glass and smoked, 12-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels as standard.

Body-coloured side skirts and a matching rear spoiler, sports suspension, front fog lights, special side stripes and a tailgate logo complete a bespoke look.

The interior also benefits from features like a leather steering wheel and gear knob, automatic climate control and cruise control.

Standard safety measures include rear parking sensors, adaptive cornering fog lights, five airbags and voice-controlled Blue&Me Bluetooth multimedia connectivity.

Fiat says the Punto Jet Black 2 is available with several finance packages, including a zero-per cent APR £99 per month PCP offer with a deposit or trade-in of £4,499 or with a deposit of £187 and 48 payments of £187.
