Fiat 500 will be relaunched with more options

Inspite of bearing a lower price tag than the VW Beetle, (Rs 14.82 lakhs as opposed to the Beetle’s 20.45), the Fiat 500 hasn’t quite managed to set the sales charts on fire the way the Beetle has managed to. Taking the present status into account, Fiat India have devised a plan to relaunch the 500 in the next few months. There will be new variants and more customisation options. We may even be able to see the Convertible 500 coming to India.

The 500 could even come with a 900cc Turbocharged Twinair engine producing 105bhp. Read more on that here.

Fiat’s 2-cylinder marvel – We say why it is perfect for India

July 11th, 2010

The world is changing and to keep up to the change, automakers are having to work harder than ever to meet customer’s requirements on one side as well as satisfy the ever tightening emission norms on the other. So every manufacturer from Maruti to Mercedes Benz are bringing new technologies from K-series to CGI Blue Efficiency (where the engine can run on a lean mixture like diesel engines) to meet regulations. The boundaries of innovation are being pushed to the maximum limit to prolong the existence of the IC engine.

So, at the upper end of the spectrum, cost doesn’t constrain the design as much as it does at the lower end. So, we will now focus on Fiat’s little two cylinder marvel that promises a lot. The engine also makes perfect sense for India where pollution and bumper to bumper traffic are the order of the day. Fiat is also the manufacturer with the lowest average CO2 emissions across its range in Europe, so they are up to something really good here.
