It may not have had
It may not have had the best managers, but Fiat sure had plenty of talented engineers and designers, and here are five examples you may well have never seen before. #fiat #history #classiccars #stellantis
Presented at the 1974 Turin Motor Show, the impossibly cute Fiat X1/23 was a vision of sustainable urban mobility well ahead of its time.
The ESV 1500, named after its weight in pounds, was the smallest of the three prototypes Fiat presented at the 4th international conference on experimental safety vehicles, held in the Japanese city of Kyoto in 1973.
Weighing under 600 Kg and equipped with a diminutive 770cc twin-cylinder direct-injection turbodiesel engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission, the Fiat X1/75 could reach a top speed of 135 Km/h but, most importantly, could do 40 Km on a single liter of diesel.
The 850 City Taxi was displayed at the 1968 Turin Motor Show, and the many novel solutions of this innovative prototype were covered by 15 new patents. Although some were subsequently used on production cars, the City Taxi itself would remain just an experiment.
Presented at the 1976 Turin Motor Show and based on the Fiat 126, the prototype "Cavalletta" (the Italian for grasshopper) was Fiat's own foray into the open "beach" cars genre independent coachbuilders like Savio and Moretti had been exploiting for years.
