"I love this concept. It"s been my personal project for three years", beams Fiat"s marketing boss, Francois Olivier. The Frenchman"s talking about the Centoventi concept, a boxy city car that explores what the new Fiat Panda could be. Electric, for one thing. And cheap. Spartan, no-nonsense, but desirable electric transport. Begs one big question, doesn"t it: can it be built? Olivier gives an expansive, enthusiastic answer. "Fiat has a blessing we are known for spartan, essential transport. For everyone else, that"s just cheap", but for us, we have legitimacy [with cheap basic cars]." He notes the likes of the Citroen 2CV as a classic of the genre, but wants this new Fiat to bring the idea to the 21st Century.
