....shame it never went into production, I am sure someone will be able to fill in the details of what it was produced for, how many bhp it had etc - but who cares!! it looks most excellent.........!!





Only thing wrong is the colour......................

Horrid

This is a boat that makes me nauseous! :yuck:
I think I m gonna be sick!
What monsters are these people to abuse a B like this?
If you want original "barchetta" looks get the Ferrari... no other!

Not really my cup of tea either!

Imagine it in your favourite colour, without white lettering on the tyres, better wheels (OZ Superturismo's?), DTR quad pipe exhaust, slightly lower back to it (maybe diffusers?)

Now - is that any better?

No.

thats stunning. just needs to be in a better colour. looks like the cars from 50s Le Mans, only thing that lets it down other than paint is the exhaust:yuck:

What about if it had rotten fish heads for wingmirrors?

All info on this car is on barchettamondo.co.uk if you want to know more.

Nothing wrong with the colour, one of my thoughts when I had the bodywork done on mine was to have it resprayed in Gulf racing blue.

Exhaust should be central, that would look good. Lights should lose the 'eyelids', the bonnet should be less OTT and the mirrors should be body colour or small F1 style in black. It would look great then.

And there was me LRB, thinking you has some sense of style:yuck:
I bet your'e hall will be purple too

I think I must be having a taste crisis

And no SS - it won't be purple, I am going for black walls, red ceiling, gold skirting and coving with yellow floor tiles - nice eh?

A baroque bordello then

Colour scheme is similar to the service managers office in our main Fiat dealer..He's a very big Woolley Woofta...nuff said?

Nasty buggers!!

Not liking it. The lack of window will freak me out.

Stick the engine and wheels on another B and it'll be way better. Like that white one for example! LOL!

Do you think the wheel arches are that wide because the Coupe driveshafts are longer then the B's and it would have been a load of work having them made hehehe.

That car sucks but the engine work is

If it's a fibreglass body then making custom wheel arches and wings would be way cheaper than messing with drive shafts I reckon.

Hi, think that before this green machine was created Fiat Design came up with this

"The Fiat SCIA was introduced on the Turin Motor Show of 1993 as a try-out for the public of the upcoming barchetta (to be introduced 2 years later).

Designers John Kinsey and Darren Caddesl of Fiat"s Centro Stile have taken the boat-design to extremes.

Styling cues are shown to the unsuspecting audience, like the uprising mirrors, or the three-dial dashboard.

Others, like the cut-off windows can be found in the Stola"s Dedica.

This Punto based car was built by Ilcas and Maggiora, who are also responsible for the current barchetta"

Now THAT is one ugly SOB:yuck:
