Fiat design chief explains how spirit of Panda – and Centoventi concept – can live on alongside 500
Fiat is working towards offering two distinct families of cars – one inspired by today's 500 and the other by the original Fiat Panda. The brand recently revealed five new concept cars inspired by the Panda, which are due to evolve into production cars in the next three years, but there remains room in the line-up for the 500 to evolve and spawn new derivatives as its ‘vintage’ appeal “will never die”, according to Fiat design boss François Leboine.
" The Panda concept, which serves as the halo for this new family, gives the best idea since 2019's acclaimed Centoventi concept of what to expect from the third generation of Fiat's supermini . The latest concept marks a substantial departure from that earlier show car, which was notably lower-slung and more rounded, but Leboine insisted that the "Centoventi is still in our mind". "The Centoventi is definitely embedded into these concepts," he told Autocar.
