Fiat to relaunch Fiat 500 model.
This Summer Fiat will present the new Fiat 500 which will be marketed immediately after the launch. And, once again, the new car will conclude an equally important cycle of revival for Fiat Automobiles SpA.
Developed by the Fiat Style Centre and manufactured in the plant in Tychy (Poland), the new 500 is a 3-door model with very compact measurements: it is 355 cm long, 165 cm wide, 149 cm tall and has a wheelbase of 230 cm.
The car is extremely entertaining to drive, due to its three engines: a 75 bhp 1.3 16v Multijet turbodiesel unit and two petrol engines, the 69 bhp 1.2 8v and the 100 bhp 1.4 16v all of which are available with five or six speed mechanical gearboxes.

Fiats replacement for the disastrous Stilo family hatchback is the Bravo, a five-door model that will go on sale in spring 2007. With plenty of rounded, sporty styling, it is designed by Fiat’s in-house team with plenty of cues from the successful new Punto. Initial details are scarce, but the engine range will include 120 and 150hp Multijet turbodiesels, a 90hp 1.4 diesel and a new family of turbocharged T-Jet petrol engines also with 120 and 150hp. Measuring 4,340mm nose to tail and with a 2,600mm wheelbase, the Bravo promises to have best-in-class load space of 400 litres. The car will be officially unveiled in Rome in January.
