While Ferrari may be known for its show-stopping designs, Fiat has carved its niche in the market with practicality and affordability.
Their success is undeniable, as they consistently outsell Stellantis brands and hold a dominant market share in countries like Algeria.
Fiat isn’t resting on its laurels though, with the electric 500 returning to the US market and the funky fourth-generation Grande Panda proving that fun and function can coexist.
This new Fiat, built on the Stellantis Smart Car Platform alongside the Citroen C3 and Opel Frontera, offers hybrid and electric options and paves the way for future Fiat models like the Multipla revival and a new compact pickup.
The wait for official introductions hasn’t stopped creative minds, though, with Brazilian virtual artist KDesign AG imagining an entire Grande Panda family through CGI.
Ditching the familiar silhouettes of the Fiat Argo and Uno, a virtual car designer set their sights on a future shaped by the recently revealed Fiat Grande Panda.
While the design language for these smaller hatchbacks diverged subtly from their larger sibling, the project sparked concepts for a broader Fiat lineup.
This included a performance-oriented Abarth Grande Panda, a spacious seven-seat SUV reminiscent of the Citroen C3 Aircross, and a fresh take on the Fiat Strada compact pickup truck.
Now, with the virtual garage brimming with possibilities, it’s time to dissect the potential powertrain for the Abarth Grande Panda, drawing inspiration from the fire-breathing hearts of existing Abarth offerings.
