At the 74th Geneva Motorshow, Fiat will introduce the 'Fiat Trepiùno', the concept car designed by the Fiat Style Centre to represent the theme of 'back to the future'. yep, it's another motor harking back to yesteryear, this time the cutesy Fiat 500.
Working with a total length of 3.3 metres, the designers lengthened the passenger compartment gave it a very short bonnet and minimal wheel overhang. The bonnet is wrapround type and folds over the sides.
Despite the retro styling, no specific styling cues have been reproduced exactly, with Fiat claiming that the car should be judged on its modern merits rather than any heritage.
An example of this reworked style is the canvas hood found in some superminis of the past that has been interpreted by a "Sky-dome" on the Fiat Trepiùno. .
The appointments include front seats of minimum thickness that are said to offer more comfort than seats with conventional padding. They are made out of a layer of soft polyurethane that is complemented by a more rigid polyurethane structure to create a flexible, comfortable three-layer structure able to absorb all loads and, above all, not detract from the volume and space.
Fiat have experimented with the seating to give a 3 + 1 plan. That's 3 decent seats and an emergency seat for that extra bloke who insists on scrounging a life home from the pub.
