Heritage

In the first decade of the 20th century, a craze for speed swept across the world. It was within this electrifying atmosphere that the Fiat S61 Corsa was born - a two-seater racing car.

When introduced in 1936, the Fiat 500 was the smallest mass produced car in the world. For its beautiful shapes and size, the public called it 'Topolino'.

Presented in 1955, the  600 marked the beginning of Fiat's mass motorisation through sales of small practical cars throughout the 1950s and 60s. Thanks to its cost-benefit, its success was almost immediate - reaching 1000 models produced per day.

Fiat presented the Nuova 500 in 1957, with the main intention of replacing the Fiat 500 Topolino. Updated with new technologies from the successful 600, with a load-bearing monocoque and an overhanging rear engine, the 500 was powered by a compact, air-cooled 2-cylinder engine, a novelty for Fiat.

The 127 was part of the transformation of Fiat compact cards into modern models. Being designed to be strong, efficient and brilliant, and help reduce fuel consumption, the model offered modern lines and solutions and extra room in the bright passenger compartment.

Agile and unbeatable in parking spaces, the 126 continued the tradition of Fiat cars within everyone's reach. Launched in 1972, the model shared its wheelbase and much of the layout of the Fiat 500, featuring a revised, slightly larger body with improved safety and interior space.

Born from an agreement between the House of Maranello and Lingotto, the Fiat Dino was developed as a conventional car in the mid-1960s. Its difference: a Ferrari 1987 cc V6 engine capable of delivering 160 horsepower at 7500rpm.

With more than 7.5million units produced since its appearance in 1980 to date, the Panda is considered, together with the 500, the Italian utility car par excellence, accompanying young people and families in their lives.

Comfortable, chic, economical and quick - those were the adjectives that used to define the basic concepts of this 2-volume super-mini model, launched in 1983. The model had a nice height, a great interior space for its size and squared body.
