The Fiat Panda
Swiss will be one of five show cars designed by the Fiat
Style Centre, and which will be housed in the second area of
the stand in Geneva next week, entitled 'Limited Edition'.
These are the indisputable stars of the second area that is
not so much a display as an emotional voyage of discovery.
With the right exterior options and colours, even a standard
product can offer an absolutely unique and unrepeatable
sensory experience.
First up are the two Panda 4x4 show cars: the first features
a micalised orange body while the second show car pays
homage to Switzerland. The livery of the 'Panda
Swiss' consists of three coats of red paint
emblazoned with a white stripe across the entire car. The
roof proudly displays the Swiss flag: a white cross on a red
ground.
The two Panda cars on show in Geneva show how careful
styling can lead to unexpected results of great emotional
impact provided the changes are carried out with the
greatest respect for product identity. In this sense, the
Panda Swiss is a specific example of how the look of an
automotive product can be reworked by emphasising the
expressive traits that are a perennial feature of Italian
design: innovation, style and personality.
On the outside, therefore, the Panda Swiss retains the great
personality of the standard production model and limits
itself to a few changes to the body and the colour scheme.
For example, the wheelarch trims and both side trims are
made out of translucent backlit material. The side door
mouldings, with their original shiny-opaque milled aluminium
finish, are also new.
Inside, however, the restyling is more evident and focuses
on the facia, which has been given a different colour and
new features to enhance its look. The glove compartment flap
is also new, made out of a backlit translucent material. The
internal compartment is specially equipped. The ventilation
outlet frames are painted in red, the same colour as the
seat side strips, the gearbox gaiter and the parcel rack. |
