Fiat Panda – the Panda is going
After more than eight years break puts Fiat the epitome of the pizza taxi back to the local farm. The Panda celebrated its successful world premiere at the IAA in Frankfurt.
It rings at the door, the pizza man is here. And what has he for a car? A Fiat Panda. The small Italian through the downtown areas of the European world speeds for 31 years. He was even on Mount Everest already. Only in the base camp, but after all. Now comes the Panda more than 6.5 million copies sold in its third generation on the street. He already has the world premiere at the IAA behind it. However he falls up there not just in the Italian Hall between the whole Alfas, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and the hot models. But fans will find him there, too. The Panda has been on for the wife of buying both as the initial car drug for students has always been the epitome of simplicity but also the practicality. To the question “How will you get ten people in a Panda?” was therefore always the answer, based on experience, “Panda door on people in, to Panda door”. Well, the most current students were not yet born at the premiere of his first and the safety thinking was at that time also not as well developed as it is today, but with the Panda all always had fun.
In the latest addition to the Fiat family, this will be no different. 3.65 Metres short five sleeps five, which can look forward to despite its low height of plenty of headroom in the rear. They should have also, as her legs in to laugh at nothing at all. Besides, a small, sweet 1.55 meters Italian sits at the multifunction steering wheel of also 1.55 M low, built in the vicinity of Naples Super Compact. Then, but only also leg owner can sit. The slightly elevated seating position of the backbenchers and the quite large fancy window, all occupants enjoy a beautiful panoramic view.
The drive provide four different engines, three gasoline engines and a 1.3 litre four cylinder turbodiesel with 55 kW / 75 HP. On the gasoline side two ensure 0.9 litre cylinder with 48 kW/65 in the suction motor and 63 kW / 85 HP in the Turbo variant for propulsion. The 1.2 liters in the 500 and the Punto engine with 51 provides the third alternative in terms of petrol kW / 69 PS is. In the future to two variants of the engine range is to be complemented, then on the one hand with gasoline and natural gas and the other with petrol and LPG can be refuelled. Where is the latter version not for sale in Germany. Ensure the safety of front Trieblers as standard four airbags and with a little delay an emergency braking assistance, at speeds below of 30 km/h barriers automatically detects and automatically decelerates the Panda. Also with a little delay, there will be an all-wheel drive for the small Fiat.
But back to the interior decoration of Panda. Ordered chaos reigns in the cockpit. Connoisseurs of great Panda will have only a tired smile left over on the piano-black design and the symmetrically arranged climate setting switches. Depends on when the pizza taxi but primarily on functionality. Prices or even motorcycling data such as the speed, unfortunately still mention the Italians. Drivers of previous models but probably rightly guessed that is found the needle only with very steep downhill passages and powerful tailwind beyond the 170 km/h. The launch of the Fiat Panda to be held at the end of the first quarter 2012.
