Default Fiat Stilo Schumacher edition

A Michael Schumacher GP edition Stilo is from Fiat UK
with a 2.4 litre 20v pushing 170bhp
and some kit from prodrive, Eibach springs, 18" OZ Superturismo, and 215/40 ZR 18 Contisport by Continental tyres...
cost around Ģ16,995 to take home this GP version
a great contender for the Civic Type-R

a great contender for the ctr? Well If I had to choose between a fiat or ctr...well you get my point Still it's nice that there are newcomers to hot hatch group.

2.4 20v pushing 170bhp sounds abit low.
Changing the springs without changing into better dampers seems cost cutting too. Sounds like just another marketing gimmic to me

2.4 with only 170bhp dosn't sound like a lot for that size enginge but it should the rest of the hot hatches around some competetion but the Civic will still be king for a while.

170 hp is pretty much for me, we are talking about Fiats here...

here in Brazil we also have a Stilo Schumacher edition, but it's powered by a 1.8 liter with 122 hp... now this is really abuse of Schumi name

but why doesn't this english Stilo feature the Sky Window? Don't you have it there?

Its very curious that in Spain weve got the Fiat Stilo Schumacher (the same colour, equipment, wheels and so on) in JTD diesel though....once the market here is occupied by the diesels approximately by 70 per cent....and once a big percentage of hot hatches are diesel.....the Fiat Stilo MS edition gives 140 bhp

I think that it's an excuse to sell red and yellow stilos heheheh
For real, there's no actual change, except minor changes in suspension, and hideous wheels in the brazil version, at least....not worth it...
