Fiat increases production of 500 to meet demand

The new Fiat 500 is being sold like hotcakes, confirming the initial expectation was that they had. With 58,000 units budgeted to get out of the assembly lines this year, the manufacturer has already received 51,000 reservations in Italy only three weeks of its launch, in addition to other 6,000 applications in France a week of its debut.

To cope with such demand, the original production will increase from 58,000 to between 65,000 and 67,000 units, while for the year 2008 and there is talk of raising the down payment of 120,000 to 140,000 units. With these new targets, the Fiat plant in Tychy, Poland - which also produces the Panda and the forthcoming Ford Ka - will undergo significant expansion, surpassing in size to the Italian Melfi plant and becoming the second largest in the signing a global, just behind the factory in Belo Horizonte in Brazil.

Fiat could also manufacture the 500 in Italy

According to the Italian press, Fiat could begin to manufacture the small Fiat 500 in the Termini Imerese factory in Sicily. At present there are manufactured only the Lancia Ypsilon and, earlier, the Punto.

It seems that the rumors indicate that in the Sicilian factory is added a new shift and one or two models, which could well be the Fiat 500 and Panda, both models of success and produced by the time of Tychy, Poland.

If true, and it might be good to move forward to reduce waiting lists for the Fiat 500, currently in demand in Italy and France with more than 105,000 reservations in four months and Germany, who only three weeks in 6500 accumulates orders.

Fiat promotes 500 in Madrid on a very special way

The promotion of the Fiat 500 continues in the major markets of Europe and the recent introduction of the small Italian in Spain now joins a very curious campaign that seeks to show the vehicle of the most striking manner possible.

For a few days you will be very close to El Corte Ingles of Castellana, Madrid (between Paseo de la Calle Castella and Raimundo Fernandez de Villaverde), a unit of the Fiat 500 metida inside a bubble that in part has nothing broadleaf less than six meters in diameter, while the base is four meters. Without doubt, a very peculiar way of presenting the newest of the house.

The idea is certainly shocking and makes clear how important it is the model for both the home and for the Italian city of Turin, site of the signing, which increases the proportions typical characteristic of the souvenir. All this has been created by the agency Domme Creative Center.

Fiat wants to squeeze the success of the 500 with new variants

The boys of Fiat do not take even a second of respite, and after the recent spate of media on the occasion of the launch of Fiat 500, we hear news of new variants of charming SuperMini. We would be talking to five different body to add to the current three-door, two versions of high-performance, a cabriolet, a family (with MINI Club Med) and even a micro-SUV (which will have to see with our eyes).

Both the Abarth as the cabrio have already received the green light expected to go into production, following the model of 135 horses, we could see a Fiat 500 Super Sport bit more aggressive, with 155 foals under his small bonnet. Apart from the aforementioned family, possibly the most surprising of all was the SUV, which if approved, may lead the drive system integrated Panda 4x4, with which it shares a platform for some (although modified).

These rumors do nothing more than feeding the idea that MINI, before any other brand generalist, is the name to beat. We'll see if he succeeds Fiat.

From the Citroen 2CV is not mass produced a car that uses a two-cylinder engine. That will change next year, because we knew that the awaited Fiat 500 has a 0.9 liter turbo engine and two cylinders, which will produce between 90 and 110 horses. According to Auto Express, the little engine is 20% cheaper than the average of 1.2 liter engine using other city cars, resulting in a combined yield of 21.2 km / l (4.7 litres/100 km).

India: Now available the Fiat 500, Bravo and Palio Multijet

It might seem a little interesting news if it were not for the arrival in the range of the new Palio 1.3 JTD Multijet engine manufactured in India, and that for the moment will be installed in the small multipurpose. Later will also take place in the line for this country and possibly some models Tata.

With the introduction of motor MJet also takes the opportunity to make a small restyling the exterior of the Palio Stile, which, and paragolpes now has slightly modified grille. The rest of the range remains with the mechanical 1.1i 57 hp and 100 hp the 1.6IA that gives life to the Sport versions.

On the other hand have also begun to be marketed in India Fiat 500 and the new Bravo.

The Fiat 500 will precede the launch of the next Ford Ka

According to Auto Express can read, the cheerful and affordable (although somewhat ajado) Ford Ka will be revitalized with the help of an Italian friend: Fiat. The replacement for the Ka not hit the market until 2010, but before that Fiat dealers will already be in the reincarnation of its classic Fiat 500, a model with which the next Ka will have much in common.

Fiat showed the spiritual successor of the Fiat 500 two years ago at the Geneva Motor Show, in the form of a utility called conceptual Trepiùno. This SuperMini have to face the fierce competition South Korea, which will be manufactured using a very restrictive limitations on costs to be offered at a price as small as its size.

Fiat 500 could be exported to the U.S.

The classic Fiat 500 will be resurrected by Fiat very soon, in July, and the Italian manufacturer expected to become a full blockbusters, to be sold during 2007 and 2008. But yesterday, the chief executive of Fiat, Sergio Marchionne, revealed a detail that we did not know, and that is that apparently, the Fiat 500 also could be exported to the United States in 2010, saying that "sooner or later is a possibility."

The new Fiat 500 is based on the same platform that will be shared with the Ford Ka 2008. If it is ultimately sold in the United States, we should see how the Fiat Engineering for distribution in the country. A curious point is that according to Marchionne, the arrival of Fiat 500 to the shores does not mean that Americans also did the rest of the catalog of Fiat, so perhaps the new topolina would be living alone.

Considering that Marchionne has already confirmed that Alfa Romeo will return to the United States through dealers of Ferrari and Maserati, is not entirely unreasonable (or themselves) to assume that the Fiat 500 could share space with the 8C Competizione, the GranTurismo and the F430. Mal would not be accompanied, of course.

Fiat 500 fulfills his dream and becomes a Porsche 911

Most fans were waiting to Porsche 911 for a smaller size were happy with the Cayman, but for a Greek fan that reduction was not enough and had to take on this.

The result is what they see and above is not the work of an artist's Photoshop or anything. This is a completely transformed Fiat 500 to emulate the best possible way to a Porsche 911 Type 996. Although probably the driving force behind this Cinquecento is not water-cooled as his alter ego, at least it is back. In addition to cause us a good laugh, it must be admitted that this creation is very successful. For the rest we seem fair, because if a Smart can be a Ferrari, a Fiat 500 has every right to be a Porsche.

The Fiat 500 could be sold in the U.S.

The success achieved in all European countries it is not uncommon for Fiat, which also presumed to have Japanese and Australian impatient with the arrival of the new Fiat 500, scheduled for early 2008.

It now appears that Sergio Marchionne has been interested based on the sales of Smart in the U.S., closely following the developments in the small German. In his words, "We are watching the phenomenon Smart in the United States, we will see that this works. Technically, we are prepared."

The main problem, besides a clear lack of infrastructure, is the shortage of units as at present can hardly meet the demand of the four countries where it already is being offered (currently only sold in Italy, Germany, France and Spain).

Aznom attacks the Fiat 500

Although technically Aznom wait until tomorrow to present his vision of Fiat 500, the Milanese company has already provided the first pictures of this curious development that aims to give a touch of luxury for multi-wave.

Three finishes are offered by the Italian coach: Amabile, intriguing and Seducente, at prices of 4,500, 6,500 and 8,500 euros respectively. The first one is limited to leather upholstery on the seats, while the second, paint the body almost as if it were a taxi from Barcelona (most of all cool), adds a new centerpiece for the board, and ends Match gear lever, handbrake and internal panels of the doors. The latest versions of all is obviously the most interesting, offering a chessboard made in "exclusive material" (though the photos seem a rather vile plastimadera), some kind of bag for hand luggage and the possibility of changing the exterior color .

Depending on the materials chosen and the kind of skin, prices can go more or less than your initial budget. Less clear leaves the press release whether the 17-inch rims of the picture come as standard on all versions (we assume that no).

To keep the title, the small but hard car, he had to compete against strong rivals like the Aston Martin DBS, the Maserati Quattroporte, the Alfa Brera and the Ferrari Enzo. Apparently the Fiat 500 pheromones emitted by the exhaust, because that would not otherwise be explained his curious choice.

The title of world's sexiest car could not come at a better time for Fiat because the company is planning to produce an updated version of the Fiat 500 model soon. You can see the first photos of the Fiat 500 directly here or visit the site dedicated to the vehicle.

Test Drive: Fiat 500 1.4i 16v Lounge (3 / 3)

BEHAVIOR

If there is anything we can highlight the Fiat 500 small addition to their appearance is the dynamic behavior. Despite having a very short wheelbase, thanks to the use of some pretty harsh suspensions barely perceive swings and although it is normal for such small cars in the sense of security is not very high, in the Fiat 500 this does not happen, airing in all kinds circumstances of an aplomb worthy of larger vehicles.

The downside of bringing about suspensions so hard is that any irregularity of the road will make the boat over the account but in general terms and not decomposed trajectory, it is true that it is quite uncomfortable. It is something that also happens to the Peugeot 206 XS, SEAT Ibiza FR or the Suzuki Swift Sport.



Anyway we must be clear that it is a car designed for the city and therefore, its raison d'etre is in the narrow streets of large cities. With the mechanical 1.4i 16v and alloy wheels are optional 16-inch turning radius a very high, exceeding even that of many compact maneuverability and the rest requires us to conduct more maneuvers than normal in cars of this size. However, the direction is smooth at low speeds and is comfortable. Special mention to the visibility, good forwards but rather limited backwards, with a very thick C-pillar that prevents proper vision when our unity parking, parking sensor, we have been spared any scares. If you press the button Sport hardens and although it is more direct and transmits more security, the fact is that even at high speeds there should be a little more firmly. In any case it is easier to drive than a previous generation of MINI, with an extremely direct steering.

Mountain roads in the Fiat 500 is a real toy. Fast, fun and effective, it's very predictable and makes it very clear where it has its limits, which indeed are very high. The stability control I found very well-calibrated and do not hinder driving a sport unless necessary. It is a pity that only standard with the engine but at least 100 hp is available across the range as an option.

As for the brakes, with four discs, are effective and less prone to fatigue. The brake pedal has an excellent touch and we can measure the power of braking in a very intuitive, I still remember the pedal super-uncomfortable in the Smart ForTwo.

BENEFITS

On paper, the Fiat 500 1.4i 16v 100 hp might seem a little "GTI" underweight, more than enough power, with six speeds change, harsh suspensions, etc ... seem to promise that this is an urban "cañero" but reality brings us a vehicle with adequate benefits, good in general terms but no reference. Reaches 140 km / h with ease but when it comes to recover we must play with the hand-excellent touch, incidentally, to be able to upload speed quickly. Button again Sport's dashboard plays an important asset and with him on, things are much easier, with an immediate reaction to throttle it becomes more interesting records even at the cost of consumption, which rises proportionally.

SOME FACTS

Top speed: 182 km / h
Acceleration 0 to 100: 10.5 sec.
Acceleration 0 to 100 (real): 10.1 sec.
Acceleration 0-1.000 meters (real): 32.6 sec.
Average consumption approved: 6.3 L/100
Real average consumption: 7.4 L/100
Real urban consumption: 8.2 L/100
Consumption actual road (90-100 km / h): 5.3 L/100
Motorway real consumption (120-130 km / h): 6.8 L/100
Average range: 390-420 kms
Fuel tank: 35 liters (5 L reserve)
CONCLUSION

The Fiat 500 is primarily a car with charm, which usually likes to let the general public and which, judging by sales, is becoming a real icon. For its size, has a large domestic, a safe and reasonable thank the 1.4i 16v engine also allows the luxury of facing long journeys without complexes. Perhaps the price is a negative point of looking ahead even though the team found that the strength of series really is complete and therefore the air-conditioning as ESP, TCS, seven airbags, MP3, alloy wheels, bluetooth and even the panoramic glass roof Fixed are included in the finished Lounge. Therefore we can say that it is completely advisable although it is true that there are other options in the broader market, more powerful, cheaper but not touch this "chic" of Fiat 500. For many find an emotional purchase more rational. Worst of all are long waiting lists and quality of materials, though in some settings gives you an overview of larger vehicles.

The Fiat 500 also sweeps in Morocco

Sales of the Fiat 500 are rising at a pace that seems to prevent the economic crisis. After the lengthy waiting lists that are already happening in countries like Italy, Spain, France and Germany, is that Morocco is in addition to four months for delivery of one of the most desirable urbanites of the moment.

With higher prices than in Europe, the small Fiat 500 has had no problem in attracting a good portion of consumers Moroccans. Since its launch two months ago and have delivered 50 units although the reserves amounted to 130 already and it seems that every day more are those who wish to take this vehicle in their garages.

The color defendant in this market is the Pearl White and despite the fact that diesel engines have great weight versions have been chosen more for gasoline, with 1.4 liters and 100 hp. For finishes, both Sport and Lounge are favorites and very few opt for the more straightforward pop. The price for the Fiat 500 range starts at 145,000 dirhams (12,717 €).

H & R angry at the Fiat 500

H & R took the Fiat 500 meters and in hand, as the best tailor, has compiled a complete range of accessories for this modern classic is already a success to build anything. Most of them are going to the pure visual impact, though the dynamic is considerably improved (we assume) by a suspension reduced by 30 mm adjustable dampers and coil-over type. The remaining amendments are made up of a spoiler for the roof, a new orthodontic wire and 17-inch tires emotion, supplemented by some spacers to widen the back of the Fiat 500 to do something more aggressive. After the gym session, the Fiat 500 comes very externally strengthened, particularly in the black of the photos.

It lacks a lot to get scared, but it is clear that is no longer the friendly little mouse that we sold in Fiat dealerships.

More information on the little Fiat 500

Ever since the Italian opened the list of reserves for the little Fiat 500, a little over two weeks, requests for purchase have been so unstoppable climb to reach 25,000 and that, without that prices are not known.

Apparently, the market will depend on which market the price of departure, since there will be a version, called Naked below € 10,000, which will not be sold in wealthier countries of Europe because of shortages of equipment, both comfort and safety.

In the Italian case and is expected to Spanish, the version of access will cost around € 12,000 with the 1.2i engine of 69 hp, although with a very reasonable equipment. If we take into account that belongs to a niche segment that is bought and from the heart, seems like a pretty attractive price. The 100-hp versions could rise to € 14,000, as did the 75-hp diesel.

On July 4 will be presented at a major festival in Turin and from there it will be the start of deliveries, which in Spain will not be possible until September. For the moment, are already preparing the launch and advertising campaigns.

Test Drive: Fiat 500 Lounge 1.4i 16v (2 / 3)

INTERIOR

When we talk about the Fiat 500 have to be very aware that this is a vehicle to clear urban character and therefore, if their actions are ideal for outdoor city, we can not ask for miracles to a passenger compartment of a car with 3.5 meters of length.

Nothing more to open the door so that more striking is the design of the dashboard. Retro-inspired, is so attractive that completely diverts attention from a door with a design insipid and some low-quality plastics. Nor are practical because the bags that holds in the lower part are small and do not have spaces bounded, objects moving backwards making it impossible to recover them without opening the door. Returning to the dashboard, striking the band painted body color that covers the central part and that is combined with different shades for the commanders of the air conditioning vents and power plants, which may be ivory, black or brown.

The leaflet highlights undoubtedly on his touch, excellent thanks to the high quality of skin used. It has controls for the audio equipment to manage and control voice / portable music player and phone. The onboard computer for its part is driven from the leverage of clean and although it is very complete, it is somewhat cumbersome to have to wait two seconds for each function to observe the recorded data (indicating the first sub-paragraph and then the Registration with the initials of the paragraph, for example: Consumption Middle and then Cm: - - L/100).


The seats are comfortable though, according to the corpulence of the occupants may become difficult to regulate, especially in height, with a little adjustment prepared and a lever of low quality that gives the feeling weak. But once we found the ideal position to lead the rest of the controls are handy, especially the gear, on-high and quick handling, by the way. In the test unit, equipped with leather upholstery in Frau, the seats have an excellent touch and despite being a lounge, with this option incorporates the seats of the Sport. The space in the front seats are broad and only the bottom of the center console, rather bulky can bother the driver on occasion. The controls of the levers are with the change and the only thing that is somewhat cumbersome is that we can not lower the two windows at once to be quite separate switches.

If we sit in the seat post, surprised the space for its only two occupants possible. Not that it is the largest segment of legroom, but honestly fulfill even more if we again into account their length outside. The height to head height and is the worst-middle-class people with high touch the ceiling. The units come with roofs significantly reduced the height of the carrier will have to be taken into account the highest. Indeed, access to these places is somewhat complicated and although the seats are former abbot did before, to re-incorporate them have to do enough strength on the sidewalk as they throw away if they lose the backing of "memory".

And now we are focusing on the trunk. Deceives and much since it was initially thought to have no capacity to virtually nothing and then, when you open the gate, surprises us with a base big enough that even allows hiding a spare wheel of an emergency. But then, when loaded, but again no good surprise, since the inclination of the gate remains a vision far greater than the real and end up taking some bártulos in the back seat. Even so, to make the purchase weekly or weekend trips, the space is more than enough and two suitcases as those that allow us to bring in aircraft cabins to fit perfectly. And if we have to expand the cargo space, seating can be lower, although the cargo area is not flat. In any event, with 220 liters can not say that it is a negative point of a car designed for short journeys without baggage. We can not fail to mention that at all levels the Fiat 500 far exceeds the capacity of the interior of the MINI, with over 20 cm in length, except for the front seats, also very loose fitting.

Turning to the quality of materials, overall finishing and visual adjustments border to very good height but it is true that some plastics are of rather low quality. We can not ask more for a car that in some countries has a starting price of around 9.000 €. If I had a design insipid or impersonal inside would take even greater account of this issue but being so well prepared and with a proven so attractive, almost goes unnoticed.

The air-conditioning, automatic in this case, it works very well and is quick in these cold winter mornings, but the lower vents are not located in the best position and we can come to have "suffocated" his right leg in the case of the driver . For the rest is quiet and easy to use, although it is only one area, something usual in the segment on the other side in the case of the few models that can incorporate.

The Fiat 500 will be manufactured in Poland

The new Fiat 500 will speak in Italian, but with a Polish accent. The manufacturer announced on Thursday that manufacturing of its charm in SuperMini begin in July next year at the factory in Tychy. The production plans were confirmed on Thursday by the chief executive of Fiat, Sergio Marchionne, while on a visit to the facilities of Italian Atessa.

Fiat hopes to draw from the chains of Tychy 120,000 units of Fiat 500 and as many of the Ford Ka (brother of platform) over the next 10 years.

Filtering the appearance of the interior and various accessories Fiat 500

Oooops. Is that we love these indiscretions. Our Italian friends of autoblog.it have been made with what appears to be part of a catalog or brochure with several renders of various accessories for the Fiat 500, which leaves us see clearly what the inside of the mouse next to some pretty interesting details.

For aesthetics, the new instrument panel recalls a bit of the Fiat Punto (that's not the Grande Punto), but it seems to be something more youthful. Perhaps the two most noteworthy features are its high gear and the possibility of hitting some stickers with pictures along the board to customize the look of the carrier. Other details are such an electric air-installed in the gap for the ashtray, racks in the headrests and the different mats to choose the buyer.

In generates, everything seems very well resolved. Fiat now only has to ensure that the interiors are equal to what is expected and will have a bombshell in hand.

And for comparison, a photo of the interior of the conceptual model Trepiùno, which will build the new Fiat 500. As you can see the differences are negligible.

And 175,000 are firm orders from the Fiat 500

Of course, every news related to the Fiat 500 is a joy to the Italian firm. If you talk about awards, as a rule or wins or stays in a privileged position, whereas if the subject matter of production and sales demand continues to grow above the offer.

During the press conference held at Fiat Auto Show in Geneva, the head of the brand, Lorenzo Sistina, said that the success of the small city is given by its beautiful design and the high quality of performance.

Continuing with sales data, now Fiat is unable to meet demand in either Italy or France, UK, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Australia and Japan among others, with more than 175,000 orders to date. In some cases waiting lists are longer, reaching the year in the case of choosing a color White Funk (Pearl) or with specific equipment. And that still have not begun to assemble in large series of Pop and do not even market the Naked, planned for lower-income countries, not to mention the delays in the units with automatic Dualogic.

Picture explosion of Fiat 500

It is true that already knew all the details of the official Fiat 500, but the house has seized the Italian official announcement to launch a photo album simply colossal, and frankly, for us to resist the charms of the new model. Why is not it nice, the new Fiat 500, may be one of the most beautiful models that have emerged from Italy in recent years, a tribute to the classic, but with the refinement possible with the latest technology and balance itself of some designers that have been splendid.

In fact, Fiat has distributed many more photos of the Fiat 500 that you show, but neither was a matter of bored, so we have left you the most "revealing". Cuesta made to the idea of how they can be plastic interiors from the images official, but a priori, the design of the passenger compartment is very accomplished, and we know it will take some customization options very unusual. The exterior is also not left behind, and Fiat will offer a range of 12 colors, not counting various graphics with which to decorate the body or its collection of tires Fiat 500.

The basic version, offering an relatively inexpensive Fiat, we assume that will come pretty bare, but the list of gadgets and equipment is quite large. Of note is the Blue & Me multimedia interface from Microsoft (with which you can play songs from a USB memory stick or control certain functions with voice), its wealth of airbags (seven, including knee for the driver), the "flavored" electric and the voids of the front seats, ideal for storing a small object (just as usual, but that is fine for those CDs that do not want to leave the hearing).

Posts to get hit, you can note that we do not see anywhere xenon headlights and that the GPS is not integrated into the dashboard. It seems very well thought out, and if Marchionne was not going head to the price for that look too much at MINI, the sales of the Fiat 500 could overshadow the competition.

Fiat 500 ... Hybrid

If something is going on around the world agree, is in the austerity of the Fiat 500. But eye, that does not mean that no improvements can be made. If the comparative consumption of 4Car left you open-mouthed (and upset) by the disparity between official figures and actual consumption, to what you should wait for the arrival of its hybrid version. Auto Express said it was real, and we could see it this year ... in the form of prototype. After arriving in 2011 would be put on sale on final model.

With regard to the British magazine, the versatile Italian will be propelled by an engine cylinder of 900 cc and a special battery pack. Its purpose, as well as provide transport to maintain economic incredibly, would reduce emissions below the Fiat 120 grams of CO2 per km will require the European Union in 2012. Initial estimates show a frugality own a car, with 2.9 liters of gasoline to 100 km.

One of the biggest problems that are hybrids of small size is the volume of batteries, a trunk that could diminish the already small given the nature of the Fiat 500. The theme of the peso would not be so important, given that the new two pots weighs less than a conventional four-cylinder, and with 65 hp at hand (105 turbo), should have more than enough power to move the vehicle. Fiat already introduced last year an engine explosion of its kind in the conceptual model Panda Aria, so the news today does not seem entirely outlandish.
