Fiat has celebrated the production of one million Grande Punto cars, which is not a bad figure for a vehicle released on the market in 2005 as the heir to the first Punto (itself making 3,500,000 examples between 1993 and 1999) and the second series (reaching 3,000,000 cars from 1999 to today).

The more surprising detail however, is in the market request for methane cars: 24 percent of the new Grande Punto represents the Natural Power version, showing that perhaps the world really is on its way to adopting alternative fuels. Of production, 25 percent is made up of the Sport and Racing models, with some personalisation options (14 percent of customers opting for the stickers) and the Blue&Me system present in 30 percent of the vehicles produced.

The millionth Grande Punto is destined for the UK with a 1.4 litre T-Jet engine and the Rosso Passionale, or red passion, colour.
