Italian auto giant Fiat, whose local branch Fiat Automoveis has built an enormous following here over the past 35 years, is bringing several new variations of the recently redesigned Uno minicompact to the 2010 São Paulo Auto Show this week.
Chief among the debutantes are the Uno Concept Cabrio and the Uno Sporting, the latter a new trim level that will be available on the New Uno five-door hatchback.
The Uno Concept Cabrio is an open-top two-passenger two-door. Fiat says the concept is aimed at younger consumers and is "an example of the alternatives that can be generated from the New Uno platform."
It is fitted with a 152-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that can propel the vehicle at speeds up to 124 mph. The chassis has been stiffened and lowered, and the car rides on low-profile 17-inch tires.
The concept gets redesigned bumpers, oversize air intakes, front lip spoiler, LED taillamps and brake lights. The cockpit features a three-spoke steering wheel, two-tone leather seats with quilted stitching and aluminum pedals and trim.
The Uno Sporting has a naturally aspirated 85-hp 1.4 under the hood and sits on a slightly stiffer, lower suspension with 15-inch wheels and tires.
The car receives a few aerodynamic add-ons and some black accents on the outside, with upgraded equipment including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, custom seat fabric and an onboard computer.-insideline.com
