Warm and hot Fiat Pandas

30 October 2006

  • Hot 120bhp Abarth Panda could be on the way
  • Should be stiffer and sportier than 100bhp version
  • Expect to see it break cover by next spring

Panda 100HP

A 100bhp Fiat Panda goes on sale in December, but an even hotter 120bhp car could also be on the way.

The sportiest version of the successful supermini could carry the Abarth badge and use a turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol engine.

It's likely to make its first appearance next year, and will use even stiffer suspension settings than the 100bhp model. The warm Panda will cost £9995 and sprints from 0-62mph in 9.5sec.
