Fiat unveils one-off Panda monster truck

Heck Yeah!!

http://www.leftlanenews.com/fiat-unv...er-struck.html



Fiat's partnership with Chrysler has spawned vehicles such as the Fiat Freemont, the Lancia Thema and the Dodge Dart, but the two companies' latest offspring is a little unexpected: Fiat has bolted a Panda 4x4 body onto a Jeep CJ-7 frame to create what is undoubtedly the world's first Panda monster truck.

I love Fiat Panda.

My uncle used to have one of the original ones back in the early 1990s.

Interior space is really impressive for such a small car.

On the caraudio.com forum, there are guys who build spl monsters out of these. Apparently their shape is very conducive to keeping sound pressure inside the cabin haha!

I believe Top Gear UK needs to get this on the show. Or at least "replicate" this using a Dacia Sandero.
