The sporty new Fiat Panda 100 HP, which
boasts a 185 km/h top speed and a 0-100 km/h acceleration
time of 9.5 seconds, is the undoubted star of the Fiat
brand's line-up at the 77th Paris Motor Show this week, on
the occasion of its official world première. Two of the
little cars are on show at the Paris Expo, a grey version
sits astride the impressive Ducato "Truckster" concept, both
vehicles finished in matching colours, while a second red
example is available for close-up inspection.
The new Panda 100 HP is fitted with a brand new 1.4-litre 16v power unit
that develops a power output of 100 bhp at 6,000 rpm and a
maximum torque of 131 Nm at 4,250 rpm. When equipped with
this engine, the Panda 100 HP reaches a top speed of 185
km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.5 seconds, and
consumes 6.5 l/100 km over a combined cycle. This
performance, highly attractive by any standards, will - Fiat
hopes - satisfy young
customers who continually seek performance but wish to stand
out from the crowd.
On the outside, the Panda 100 HP therefore reveals itself to
be a car with a true sporty vocation with chrome spoiler and
exhaust pipes, special bumpers with a sporty grille and new
15” alloys.

The same aggressive stamp is also evident in the passenger
compartment, where customers will appreciate a leather
steering wheel, new sporty interiors and a black facia with
chrome detailing.
The new Panda 100 HP complements the long list of equipment
on the Emotion version, from which it is derived, with a
foglight, rear disc brakes, special suspension, 195/45-15”
tyres, leather steering wheel, 6-speed manual gearbox, split
seats and special exterior add-on kit. Customers can use a
Sport key on the facia to select the steering setting and
accelerator response to enjoy the sporty drive to the full.
The Panda 100 HP colour range is also made up of five
colours: red, black, white, blue and grey (the last two are
new).
A special ‘Pandemonio’ pack is available at the launch which accentuates the sportiness of the new version with
chrome side stickers (red if the body is white), red brake
callipers, door mirrors and 15” alloys with silver
treatment, sporty pedals and special interior mats.
