|  The sporty Fiat Panda 100 HP, which boasts a 185 km/h top speed and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.5 seconds, is the undoubted star of the Fiat brand's line-up at the 77th Paris Motor Show, Two of the little cars are on show at the Paris Expo, a grey version sits astride the impressive Ducato "Truckster" concept, both vehicles finished in matching colours, while a second red example is available for close-up inspection.
This performance, attractive by any standards, will satisfy young customers who continually seek performance but wish to stand out from the crowd. On the outside, the Panda 100 HP therefore reveals itself to be a car with a true sporty vocation with chrome spoiler and exhaust pipes, special bumpers with a sporty grille and new 15” alloys. The same aggressive stamp is also evident in the passenger compartment, where customers will appreciate a leather steering wheel, new sporty interiors and a black facia with chrome detailing. The Panda 100 HP is fitted with a brand new 1.4-litre 16v power unit that develops a power output of 100 bhp at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 131 Nm at 4,250 rpm. When equipped with this engine, the Panda 100 HP reaches a top speed of 185 km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.5 seconds, and consumes 6.5 l/100 km over a combined cycle. The Panda 100 HP complements the long list of equipment on the Emotion version, from which it is derived, with a foglight, rear disc brakes, special suspension, 195/45-15” tyres, leather steering wheel, 6-speed manual gearbox, split seats and special exterior add-on kit. Customers can use a Sport key on the facia to select the steering setting and accelerator response to enjoy the sporty drive to the full.
