Fiat Panda - The Timeless / L'intramontabile

2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the Fiat Panda. So a title on this very important and so iconic car was almost necessary to be included in the ASI Library. The text traces the whole history of the "classic" Panda, the one built always faithful to the original project from 1980 to 2003: from the idea in the mind and then on the sheet of Giorgetto Giugiaro, its designer, up to the design, industrialization and finally the presentation on the market. Here it immediately revolutionized the way of conceiving the utility and "city" car: spacious, comfortable for five people and luggage, very simple to build, lively and always able to get out of the way in any situation ... a real and just "free spirit".

The book unfolds by dealing in depth with all four series and concludes with some reflections on the "Panda Phenomenon", because this is what it is: not only an economical car suitable for all motorists but a fundamental page of history, culture and contemporary society.

La Fiat Panda de mon père

Ce livre retrace l'histoire de la Fiat Panda, de sa conception au milieu des années 1970 jusqu'à son arrêt de fabrication au début du XXIe siècle. Ce concept automobile basique, mais révolutionnaire, donne un nouveau souffle à la voiture populaire en Europe grâce à des solutions innovantes, une malice bien à elle, le tout agrémenté d'une petite pointe de snobisme.

Née dans un concept automobile morose, la Fiat Panda triompha sans peine de cette difficulté en transformant ses faiblesses en sa plus grande force. Mieux encore : elle devient ultra branchée en mettant subtilement en avant ses lignes anguleuses nées de l'imagination du grand Giorgetto Giugiaro.
Durant plus de deux décennies, elle connaît une carrière haute en couleurs et devient l'une des voitures populaires italiennes les plus mythiques.
