Spero che i pannelli delle portiere ed in generale i materiali utilizzati siano provvisori, altrimenti sarebbero i peggiori del segmento! Sono talmente lucidi che sembra ci abbiano sudato sopra!!

hanno lasciato il mega schermazzo in mezzo alla strumentazione?

Dovrebbe essere questo!!! Una figata!!!

Si, la visconti è un cesso a mio parere, veramente....

Giugiaro mi ha deluso più di una volta...molto meglio il CSA.

Anche secondo me è un cesso. Spero che la 169 non riprenda nulla della Visconti, segnerebbe un passo indietro rispetto al resto della gamma! IMHO, ovviamente.

la sw è bellissima, forse la più bella sw insieme alla 159 sw:wink:...............anche gli intenri sono molto belli, sportivi e danno senso di ben fatto............forse forse il culo della berlina è da rivedere, cmq venderà parecchio sopratutto in versione sw:wink:

Concordo pienamente, la sw è bellissima!!!

The bold scor*pion badge of the famous tuning arm will appear first on a racy version of the new 500 city car. A company spokesman has revealed the wraps will be taken off this model at the Tokyo Motor Show in October.

The name was first seen back in the late Fifties on Fiat's 595 Abarth, and the company is now ready to reinterpret the classic mach*ine.

As you can see from our picture, the special 500 will certainly stand out from the crowd. Des*igners will enhance the retro shape with blistered wheelarches, a full body*kit and large alloys. The new hot hatch will feature white bodywork and red stripes complete with Abarth badging - just like the original. Inside, a similar look is expected, with a two-tone finish to the sports seats and steering wheel.

But the Abarth won't be all show; under the bonnet is Fiat's new 1.4-litre T-JET turbocharged petrol engine. Delivering 150bhp, it propels the car from 0-60mph in less than eight seconds and on to a top speed of more than 130mph. A wider track, lowered and stiffened suspension and uprated brakes complete the package.

The bigger Grande Punto will also get the Abarth treatment late this year. A 200bhp twin-turbo petrol engine will help the supermini set its sights on the Renaultsport Clio 197. Sales of both Abarth cars will kick off in mid-2008, while Fiat has also announced a 500 Convertible will arrive in 2009.

Foto taroccatissime a parte, fa dicerto clamore la potenza di 280cv ed ancor di più, la discutibilissima scelta della trazione anteriore. Già mi immagino le bestemmie all'uscita di ogni tornante!!!

Ford is working on a top-secret new Focus RS, and is likely to choose next year’s London motor show for the car’s grand unveiling.

Buoyed by storming market demand for the Focus ST — which in its first year sold twice as well as its deadly rival, the VW Golf GTi in the UK — Ford believes it has created market space for a faster, edgier, 30 per cent more powerful Focus whose near-supercar performance and rally-car looks can both take advantage of last year’s win in the World Rally Championship and recall the heady days of the Escort RS Cosworth.

The new car, powered by a 280bhp turbocharged version of Ford’s five-cylinder engine, retains two-wheel drive but will use a special semi-active limited-slip diff to improve traction and on-limit handling. It has standard 19-inch wheels, special springs, dampers and anti-roll bars, and rides a little lower than the already-lowered Focus ST, which keeps its status as Ford’s bigger-selling, more versatile sporty saloon. Like the ST, the RS uses a six-speed stick-shift transmission. Total production is forecast at between 5000 and 10,000 units before the next Focus arrives.

Ford’s performance cars boss, Jost Capito, won’t confirm the car’s existence, on the grounds that it’s not yet in the company’s official plan, though he refuses to condemn the concept. “We are always pushing for cars like this,” he said, “but it is difficult because we have limited funds to spend on sporty cars. However, we would obviously like to build cars like this one.”

Designers want to avoid over-decorating the new RS, but the car is nevertheless believed to have a deeper front bumper with rally-style brake and turbo air scoops, plus a rear roof spoiler design influenced by the WRC cars. Flared wheel arches won’t be on the agenda as they were in the previous Focus RS; they’re deemed too expensive for such a low-volume model. Instead, the RS will use distinctive interior materials and badges to emphasise its special status.

It is perhaps a surprise that the new RS retains front-wheel drive when Ford has access to various Volvo and Land Rover 4x4 systems that might have been adapted. But retaining two-wheel drive saves money: Ford plans to have the RS on the market at the impressively low price of £21,000 to £23,000, only about £3500 ahead of the ST entry price. The project is believed to need around 18 months to complete, so production cars should be ready by June 2009.

a me piace molto...

Anche a me!! Molto meglio della precedente e molto meglio della recente produzione Ford (S-Max a parte) ed in particolare di quell'aborto di Focus, che tra l'altro mi tocca anche affittare domani, è l'unica che hanno disponibile in questo segmento, mi sa che mi tocca ritirarla con il passamontagna!!

Autoexpress la immagina così, magari!!

Anche se credo che differirà maggiormente dal prototipo presentato qualche tempo fa!!

E' una figata pazzesca, poi quei sedili in pelle di mucca.....ci manca solo il volante in pelliccia!!! Davvero interessante peccato che sia e rimmarrà una concept car!!
