But it seems that the Auto majors want to take a step forward and convert everything to green. Case in point, Fiat has developed the world’s first hydrogen-powered tractor. The pilot [...]

To be honest, I don’t like Gold, Chorme or Silver plating on cars. There are so many of them running on city streets of the Gulf countries and they are just too “I have got shiploads of money” toys. But even I was amazed when I saw this Fiat 500 (especially the white one) with 24 CT gold trimmings made by Fenice Milano. The company’s tagline line says, ‘A masterpiece is made by details’ [...]

The bosses of Fiat have decided to drop the development of the new Topolino and to only focus on Fiat Seicento which will be a low cost car positioned beneath the upcoming Panda and Fiat 500.

Actually that ‘whatever’ shown in the picture above is a terribly re-modified Fiat Grande Punto. That [...]

We are not sure if Fiat will bring out a spyder version of its 500 hatchback as shown here. The company unveiled the convertible model last year dubbed 500C at the Geneva Motor Show (pictured below). It doesn’t qualify as a “Spider” as the pillars and the connecting members are very much in tact. Burlapp cars speculates the Fiat 500 Spider could be priced below the upcoming Mini [...]

Here’s another rendering as to how the 2012 Fiat Bravo could look.

The photovoltaic material used on the roof is low-cost but is effective to power accessories like air conditioner, electrical motors and items like cabin lights which can reduce fuel consumption by [...]
