Fiat Downtown on display at the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile in Turin

The Fiat Downtown is a concept car originally shown in 1993 at the Turin Motor Show by the Italian car company Fiat. It is designed by Chris Bangle.

The Downtown is a plastic bodied car on an aluminium chassis, resulting in a low kerb weight of 700kg. It is powered by a 9.5hp motor integrated in each rear wheel, with rear-mounted sodium-sulphur batteries that can achieve a claimed top speed of 62mph, or a range of 186 miles at 30mph.[1]
