One result of the fruitful collaboration between Fiat and Dainese will be on show at the Bologna Motor Show: an original 2-seater concept car with three doors. It is called the Panda Tanker and it was created on the floorpan of the petrol-engined Panda 4x4 by ‘Change design’ for Dainese, in collaboration with the Fiat Style Centre. It is a car that is perfect for anyone who engages in any type of sport, because of the organised interior space, which is versatile and shows the Dainese imprint in every detail of the interior design.

On the outside, the Panda Tanker maintains its usual shape, but the bodywork is a ‘naked’ satin-effect matte grey, with contrasting trims that are both technical and decorative, being made of titanium fibre. What is more, structural guards and three-dimensional oxidised titanium styling trims underline the beauty of the car as well as a rich, iridescent finishing effect, combined with a sense of enhanced protection and sturdiness.
 

Inside the Panda Tanker, the sporty seats have a rigid titanium fibre shell containing hydro-pack and reflect the Dainese imprint in both the technical fabrics used (Stone and Kevlar) and the type of make-up. The ‘naked’ concept continues inside the show car, where everything is extremely essential but functional, with every attention dedicated to the finish and to making the most of the organised rear space.

The one-piece loading floor of the Panda Tanker allows the user to load even large objects or sports equipment, anchoring them with elastic straps mounted on a tubular aluminium structure that folds away completely. There are a number of containers fitted in the luggage compartment to hold oddments, materials and liquids, while the variable density foamed side panels contain Dainese accessories for a wide range of uses.
