Necessity is the mother of all inventions. So when you feel the need for an Audi and have a few pennies in the bank, what do you do? You either work hard all your life, live in poverty and deposit your savings on an Audi. Or you go out an make yourself one.
A ready example is the car you see here. A Polish man who owns an 1986 Fiat Uno is an Audi aficionado. Like most of us he was cash-strapped, and could only dream of driving an expensive Audi. During one of those long and difficult nights, he thought why not build one using the existing car. He set out to construct the A3 on his old Fiat Uno, but we must say he’s ended up with something from a segment higher.
For some reason he’s placing it on sale for 7,900 Euros. Somebody tell him that if he manages to sell a few such replicas, he’d save enough money to buy a new Audi.
The 2010 Fiat Uno will share underpinnings with the next generation Panda. As a low cost model, it is developed to serve as an entry-level Fiat in developing markets.
The 2010 Fiat Uno could employ a frugal sub-1000cc petrol engine coupled to a 5-speed transmission, which is why it could make it to India to play WagonR or Zen Estilo alternative.
Design wise, the tail lamp will be placed high up, emulating the Punto, while the dug-in headlamps is another similar aspect.
As you can see, the Uno will be a basic A-B car but with standard safety features like airbags.
You might be aware that Fiat is currently working on Project 327, which will be the next generation Fiat Uno, due to be out in 2010 or 2011. After the two Fiat Uno renderings featured, these spyshots here, have lots more to say.
The heavily camouflaged car shown here (allegedly a Fiat Uno) was caught testing in Brazil, which is Fiat’s home turf in terms of sales. Firstly, the car looks huge! But, you can never say, there’s every possibility of a puny car hiding under that camouflage.
We hear that the new Uno will share its platform with the next-generation Panda, will come with Airbags and other safety equipment as standard, and feature fresh interiors like the Fiat 500 (only for Europe). Elsewhere, Uno might share interiors with Fiat Palio.
