The second version, identified by numbers beginning with NB was put out in 1998 with the external measures slightly modified to 3955 mm long, 1680 mm wide and 1235 mm in height. The chassis is the same as the previous version reinforced at various points to achieve greater rigidity. Aesthetics underwent many changes, starting from the elimination of the retractable headlights, the total change in body lines, and interiors.
Was also put into production a new 6-speed gearbox, but only 2 small series with a 1.8 liter engine, the Miracle and the 10th Anniversary. The 1.8-liter engine benefited from a slight increase in power up to 140 hp, thanks largely to the increase in compression ratio. Even the maximum speed was increased up to 197 km / h. While the 1.6 L 90cv passed from previous 110cv.
In this version the presence of ABS was only an optional extra. In 2001 at the restyling (NB FL) was presented a revised 1.8 L engine, always with the same engine capacity but with power increased further, to 155 hp versions on sale in Japan and Australia, to 147 hp per liter ' Europe and the United States where they applied different limits with regard to emissions. The 1.6 L engine instead remained unchanged. The body was altered by the replacement of the front and rear light clusters and the adoption of a new front bumper with fog lamps. But it is the interior that you notice the differences more pronounced with the adoption of new seats with integrated headrests, new console and the central tunnel, new steering wheel and new instruments. Even the body received some changes result in this latest version stiff, especially the torsional direction.
