It would be like their R26.R, I'd buy one

No it wouldn't. It would be like a 2004 Fiat Panda with much more power than its chassis can handle.

There's no mention of power outputs here. I would assume (should it reach production) it would have similar outputs to the equivalent FH models, which do a reasonable (if not perfect) job of handling the current outputs.

You'll need one for each foot!

Looks a bit like a Penny Racer version of a Veyron (showing my age, lol)

As long as you can fit in it I thnk it's quite cool in a diddy kind of way.

[ED209]

i like it, with the 160hp engine it would be quite fun.

[TaylotS2K]

Women will love this drop top Fiat. I think it looks good imo. But much like a Mini convertible, a man can't be seen driving one.

[W00DY]

That Mini roadster thing? ste.

This? Utterly fabulous.

I want one.

The productionised one looks ok, better than the equivalent Mini to me. The other one, well it's a conceptual sketch so not much to say really.

I'd agree with that, have a wee Abarth 500 just now as a city car and would definitely consider one of these as a fun run around. Quirky and dead cheap to run.

[vanschpunk]

thats all i see really

[jdw1234]

I want to see a 356 speedster
All I see is a Micra convertible.

I do like the current twin air rag top though.

Did Fiat really release this picture?



Umm nothing like keeping proportions accurate then... Lets just reduce that bonnet length by half and place the engine between the front seats and under the dash

makes the renault wind look good

Make this Fiat 500 Vignale look really manly. Fiat does not really understand the roadster as the British once did! Still they have a car industry and build most of the worlds supercars.

The original Fiat 500 had a number of great sporting model, most not from Fiat. Company like Abarth used it as a starting, creating legendary sporting car and racers. Sadly those are gone or own by Fiat and just a badge. Instead we have ideas like this, a cash in on the past without new ideas or the cleverness that create the originals.

PHer 205alive was way ahead of the curve on this one. In fact, he created this earlier in the week.



Tasteful.

I'm going to sit on the fence here.

I fking hate the new Fiat 500. Bloody awful things.

[V8Bart]

If I had the money I'd get that car some new paint - and some rosary beads for mama.

[rockymount]

I'd prefer one of these
