| Fiat's "New Small", replacement
for the Seicento and 22 year old Panda models, is interpreted in this computer
generated image with slightly different frontal styling cues to the "unofficial
images" in circulation. Unusually for a "city car" it is expected to be
only available in 5-door format. It is believed to be based on the GM "Corsa"
platform.
The "New Small" will be a
class leader in the area of safety, with a strong chassis chassis being
arrived at after a rigourous crash test programme. Engines will include
the GM 'Corsa' sourced 3-cylinder unit, 1200cc 8v 60bhp and 16v 80bhp FIRE
units are also expected along with a 1200cc turbo diesel probably a joint
GM/Fiat developement. |
