CIAO,ERIC!
The FIAT we have it is not a sport car. It is a very little family car,the "500". Was not possible to buy it 4-wheels drive.
The little 4 wheeldrive car produced by FIAT is named "panda".
Perhaps Rossella will be able to do an attachement of one picture of ours "500" this evening.
A new "500" will be soon on the market.It is possible to see the new car in internet.
Fiat was producing a little 2 seats sport car named "850" and later, till 2 years ago the "barchetta".80 cu.in. gas engine-120 miles speed.
FIAT built and build for many years 4 wheeldrive cars and trucks.
Yes,I know that FIAT is no more present in USA from many years. FIAT sells in USA :ALFA ROMEO,FERRARI and LANCIA.
Theese brands are all owned by FIAT.
Alfa Romeo"duetto"sport car is in"The graduate" 1967 with Dustin Hoffman.
A new FIAT model 80 cu. in. diesel engine,"drinks" 1 gal and can run for 60 miles. (25km-1lt)
But they are real cars for 4 people and they have a not so little luggage compartment. Smart(Mercedes) are city cars for two people.The luggage compartment is so narrow! The rear door is at few inches from the seats and your head.
VM is also owned by FIAT i think. They build diesel engines for many brand.
The old "500" were commonly heavily modified by young people reaching with the 30-40cu.in. little engine even 120(one hundredtwenty)miles per hour. There were many races on paved roads and snow.
Thanks for my english.For many years I have used only technical words to speak with the control centers.
I must say that they were always patient.Write here it is a good exercize.Thank to you all to stand.
