Fiat 500e electric vehicles

That electric vehicles can also stylish proves Fiat 500e. He is certainly specially designed to enable a favorable resistance to score, but continues the electric Fiat 500 are stylish character.

Slowly but surely, more and more electric cars to emerge. Not all ready for production, but they are not very far from it. This Fiat 500e belongs to the group still sparse models next year actually at the dealers will stand. Unfortunately, not in Europe, but only in the U.S. California where one likes to be seen in progressive, environmentally conscious cars.

E-Sport Package
Fiat has the 500 not just an electric motor fitted. There is a lot to the 500 doctored to make it optimal. According to the Italians have spent many hours in the wind tunnel to a 13 percent better aerodynamics to achieve. New bumpers, mirrors, special wheels and a spoiler contribute to this. But it looks also know Fiat, and thus deliver the Italians model not only as normal 500e, but also with an e-Sport Package.

130 km
Fiat with the 500e purely urban use has in mind is clear from the range of 130 km. Nice if youre in Los Angeles or San Francisco live, but if you do not have the American highways on which usually runs on such a distance hardly a sign of life, so no charging. And especially when you consider that four hours is required for the 500e again to charge you more especially in the neighborhood of a point charge the batteries remain in the bottom of the car to maintain.

High-tech
Fiat gives no concrete figures released, but according to the power of 111 hp, we can conclude that driving in the 500e make do not have to be. Especially considering the high torque of an electric motor will especially in city traffic it pleasant maneuver with the little Italian. Assistance with that offered by TomTom portable navigation and unique to the 500e is the TFT screen behind the steering wheel in place of the counters mounted. This includes an extensive on-board computer shown that the high-tech character of the electric 500 should emphasize. The same applies to the developed Smartphone App which the status of the vehicle and its batteries and the forward planning of a route or determining a nearby charging station can be seen.

Fiat 500L SUV Hunted with camouflage

Fiat 500L
Fiat 500L SUV: Hunted with camouflage. The Fiat 500L SUV rolls and Italian soil ... Of course, is totally camouflaged, so you do not see one iota discover some detail of the new model of the German firm. Also during the international launch of the 500L, showed us a few seconds to this SUV, but without any camouflage and a pearl gray, leaving the audience completely mesmerized. We bring both snapshots spy, as the very short video, he discovers something new model of the Italian firm. And all this is nothing more that a marketing strategy as studied by Fiat, creating an added interest to this presentation. The new Fiat SUV, the L500 and tucked away in the oven ...

Surprise in the presentation of 500L
During the press conference of the international launch of the Model 500L, the Italian manufacturer Fiat showed the look of the SUV 500L for a few seconds, along with some flashing lights, and put him in a sort of garage, which left the audience almost without words, without any reaction to photograph. Lucky I could record directly to the model, the famous video you can see the end of the news.

Spy Shots
And thats not all ... During testing of 500L by the city of Turin, several photographers were spies for the Italian motorway 500L two prototypes of the SUV, rolling with a thick camouflage, making it immensely difficult to describe some of the model, but we will try ...

The new SUV shows some differences in the bumpers, which are not finished at all, and the wheel arches seem enhanced and protected. The line of the doors is different, as the fall of the C-pillar, which is also unchanged, since it eliminates the floating roof and the rear lights are more rectangular, similar to the Fiat 500. After seeing the pictures, it appears that the cars design is more attractive than the minivan the Italian label.

Thus, noting the lateness of the prototype in its mechanical tests, together with the sample above, everything suggests that the model could hit the market in the coming months. For example, at the Paris Motor Show in September, where Fiat Panda also intends to present 4 × 4 and 500L of seven seats.

Although it would make sense that the 500L SUV, which could be called Sedici is finally exposed in Geneva during the month of March 2013, and could have a mechanism similar to the 500L, and an optional all-wheel drive, but we wait for official confirmation from the Italian house.

"The future is here" ...
Thus, presented the new Fiat SUV between reflectors, lights and spotlights, dazzling the journalists attending the presentation of Fiat 500L. A stunning surprise, as if to rub your eyes, where the audience repeated sounds of exclamation and surprise.

This model will give the Italian company a boost of confidence despite the critical moment of the car market, to try to gain some market share and convey the excitement lost in these years. I leave you with the famous video, which this time is going around the world...
