Lorenzo Ramaciotti visits RCA for 'Two of a Kind' project

Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Fiat-Chrysler's head of global design, has visited the Royal College of Art as part of the Fiat ‘Two of a Kind' project explaining how Italian design has become world-famous in all fields in a talk themed ‘The Roots of Italian Car Design'. The ‘Two of a Kind' project asks four teams of four Vehicle Design students to design innovative exterior and interior proposals for how the Fiat 500 and the Panda might look in 2020, taking interactivity, digital interface, sustainability and global appeal into account. Maserati brought along a Quattroporte, a GranTurismo Sport as well as an Alfa Giulietta Sportiva to complement his talk in the hope it would encourage students to consider what the carmaker believes are the three concepts of the legacy of Italian car design: sportiness-dynamism; elegance-balance; and character-personality.

Fiat turn naked women in to a 500 Abarth (video)

The naked women turn in to a Fiat 500 Abarth The Fiat 500 has been, perhaps, Fiat’s biggest success story in its history, and a part of that is down to Fiat’s often very clever advertising. We’ve had everything from the ‘Motherhood‘ and ‘Fatherhood‘ videos for the 500L to the series of adverts featuring the glorious Catrinel Menghia in various states of undress. And as Fiat obviously has a penchant for the female form, it’s really no surprise that they’ve managed to feature more than a dozen naked women in a new advert for the 500 Abarth in the US.
