At the highly prestigious international 'Luxury and Yachts' exhibition, which opens its doors to the public on Saturday in Verona, Fiat will present the unique Centro Stile-created Panda 'Luxury' showcar. The fourth edition of the 'Luxury & Yachts' show will bring together only the very finest of Italian and international quality products, and a highlight of the event will be the first ever showing of the new Pagani Zonda Roadster F, just days prior to its 76th Geneva Motor Show 'world première'.

Into this mix comes bursting Fiat's latest interpretation of the iconic Panda, an ultra-luxury showcar based around the versatile 4x4 model, and a cute car that can hold its own with the best this show has to offer Realised by Centro Stile it epitomises the all finesse of a luxurious bath, with a beautiful finish that reflects the lure of only the finest of materials, encrusted with jewels and precious metals.

Fiat Centro Stile created the Panda Luxury in collaboration with three companies who specialise in the development and production of unique products. In detail, Salt & Turinmodel have carried out the detailed personalisation of much the interior, carefully incorporating the finish standards of the materials used, with special coverings, and the use of alcantara, Adm Painting has created the special paint finishes, while Proint has put into great effect a unique range and width of specific varnishes and particular featured effects.

This new show car, justifiably named 'Luxury', amply demonstrates once again that the Panda model is not simply a category-leading supercompact car, but a true and unique 'platform' on which Fiat is creating an entire family of automobiles which boast abundant use of technology and all the details to be expected from advanced categories, from the nimble small 4x4 model to the chic, 'designer' Alessi version.
 

From luxury rifles to designer coffins, from artistic watches to dream cars, 'Luxury and Yachts', the 4th international show dedicated to luxury, will take place in Verona (at the Veronafiere exhibition centre) from 25 February to 5 March: a truly unique show for dream objects. The event, which takes place simultaneously with Nautic Show (8th International Yacht Show) and the Pescare-Fly Fishing and Spinning Show (25 - 27 Feb), was previewed earlier this week by the Veronafiere President Luigi Castelletti and Director-general Giovanni Mantovani, and by Luciano Coin, the President of Optimist, the large Italian event-organising company.

Items will range from boats to jewellery, including pens, accessories and antiques, motorbikes, clothing, shoes, tanning products and food. The three initiatives, which host all together more than 500 exhibitors (up 20 pct on the 2005 edition) on a surface of 30,000 sq. metres, represents the best of Italian and international luxury products. "This sector has grown consistently over the past few years. We expect over 60,000 visitors" said Castelletti. Coin focused on the particular aspects of the shows, mentioning the Argo' prize for watches, the new 800,000 euro Pagani Zonda Roadster F, the new Fiat Panda Luxury showcar, the luxurious Maserati Quattroporte, as well as attendances from Bentley, Lamborghini and Ducati.
