In Paris next week, Fiat will introduce three new versions of the Stilo M.Y. 04; an off road aimed version of the Multiwagon, the 'M. Schumacher' limited edition, and the 'Racing', targeted at the younger buyer.

The new Stilo Multi Wagon 'Uproad', has been designed and created for people who wish to stand out in a crowd and enjoy their free time; people who love nature and wish to satisfy their taste for adventure and challenge.

The new vehicle, available from next year and with two power units (115 bhp 1.9 JTD and 140 bhp 1.9 Multijet) is identifiable from the exterior by its 17" alloy wheels and above all for its black side strips and reinforced bumpers that offset the two stylish metallic body shades.

The impression is that of a solid, sturdy model of substance that is ready to inspire thousands of aficionados with its free spirit. Inside, the Stilo Multi Wagon 'Uproad' offers new facia and fabric trim colours.

Visitors to the Paris Show will be able to admire a searing Fiat Stilo 'M. Schumacher', a limited edition named after the famous Ferrari driver who is a Formula 1 champion many times over and designed to appeal to customers who love a thrill.

The new version will be produced in about 3500 units and will offer 3 doors and aggressive, exclusive looks. Examples include a Zender kit (front and rear bumpers, sideskirts and rear spoiler all in the same colour as the body), special 17" alloy wheels, a special Racing Red body colour (similar to the famous Ferrari Red) bearing the 'M. Schumacher' logo.

The car is available in powerful 170 bhp 2.4 20v and 140 bhp 1.9 Multijet 16v engine versions and inside the sporty vocation is confirmed by the addition of pedals and sill plate in a special sports design.

The Fiat Stilo 'M. Schumacher' offers as standard window-bags and an ESP system plus dual zone air condition, Hi Fi system with CD player (including MP3 files) and radio controls on the steering wheel. The long list of standard equipment on the 'M. Schumacher' special series also includes a large sunroof (sky window).

The 'M. Schumacher' special series is joined on the stand by a second out-and-out sports model. This model, the Fiat Stilo Racing is ideal for youthful, dynamic customers and comes at a price that is very attractive and accessible.

The Stilo Racing is available with 3 doors and with a 95 bhp 1.4 16v engine with a 6 speed gearbox, a 103 bhp 1.6 16v engine, a 115 bhp 1.9 JTD engine and a 140 bhp 1.9 Multijet 16v.
