Fiat to unveil Panda Aria concept

09/04/2007, 9:44 AM

By Drew Johnson

Fiat will unveil its Panda Aria concept at this month’s Frankfurt Auto Show. Following the “green” theme of this year’s show, the Panda Aria will feature several eco-friendly technologies both inside and out. Power for the Panda Aria will come from an 800cc turbo two-cylinder producing 80 horsepower.

The engine, which can run on either gasoline or a methane-hydrogen mixture, is equipped with start-stop technology similar to that found on hybrid vehicles. The Panda Aria also uses a number of ecological materials, from the upholstery to the body panels, most of which is recycled or recyclable.

If environmentalists want to go greener, they can start by eating their own xxxx and running a tube from their ass to their nose to inhale all the methane.

Well, no wonder the engine is so small it can start and stop. It sounds like a neat car though, although I could never imagine me running around in something so small, I’d rather go with a station wagon.

Actually, the engine is 0.9l and not 0.0l as LLN said. This is preview of this engine, which will make it to the 500 and the Panda, as well as any future FIAT minicars, in N/A and Turbocharged variants, developing between 60 and 105hp ec, and will replaced all the other gas engines on those cars, except for the 500 Abarth, which will have a 1.4l turbocharged engine.

It will have to come with its own refrigerator to prevent the body panels from spoiling like 1 week old vegetables.
