Garage Italia will be taking part once again in the Bologna International Motor Show with its entire Meta-branded 'city car' range – designed and made entirely in Italy – which is made up of the Top, Sport, Pocket and Safari models, set to be on show. The motor show opens to the media next Tuesday and to the public next Thursday before running until 17th December.

The Meta range aims to offer the market a new choice in low cost city motoring, agility, versatility, innovation and fun are the aims Garage Italia has attempted to embed into the tiny vehicles which all revolve around a basic theme. Three power options are available: electric, petrol and diesel; and compared to the 'prototypes' that made their official debut at the Bologna Motor Show last December, this year’s Meta show vehicles have all undergone a complete visual face lift and also feature a number of mechanical changes and improvements.
 

The same goes for two "world premières" to be presented at the motor show next week: a two-colour 'Sports' vehicle with coded bodyskirts and a revised interior; and the technologically innovative and luxurious 'IperTop', which features novelties such as a rear mounted camera to assist reversing manoeuvres, a powerful hi-fi system, and doors which are opened by simple hand contact. The other Meta range proposals also highlight a number of improvements relating to the design of the steering wheel, the centre console and the door interior panels. As regards the mechanical part, the new revisions focus around the front and rear disc brakes which equip the car.
