Fiat Automobiles was formed in January 2007 when [Fiat Group](/source/Fiat_Group) reorganized its automobile business,[2] and traces its history back to 1899, when the first Fiat automobile, the [Fiat 4 HP](/source/Fiat_4_HP), was produced. It became a part of [Fiat Chrysler Automobiles](/source/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles) (FCA) when the Fiat Group merged with the US Chrysler Group in 2014. Subsequently, in 2021 it became a subsidiary of [Stellantis](/source/Stellantis), the new holding company born from FCA's merge with the French [Peugeot SA](/source/Peugeot_SA). Fiat Automobiles is the largest automobile manufacturer in Italy. During its more than century-long history, it remained the largest automobile manufacturer in Europe and the third in the world after [General Motors](/source/General_Motors) and [Ford](/source/Ford_Motor_Company) for over 20 years, until the car industry crisis in the late 1980s.[3] In 2013, Fiat was the second-largest European automaker by volumes produced and the [seventh in the world](/source/Automotive_industry), while FCA was the world's eighth-largest automaker. In 1970, Fiat Automobiles employed more than 100,000 in Italy when its production reached the highest number, 1.4 million cars, in that country.[4] As of 2002, it built more than 1 million vehicles at six plants in Italy and the country accounted for more than a third of the company's revenue.[4] Fiat has also manufactured [railway engines](/source/Alstom_Ferroviaria), military vehicles, farm tractors, [aircraft](/source/Fiat_Aviazione), and weapons such as the [Fiat–Revelli Modello 1914](/source/Fiat%E2%80%93Revelli_Modello_1914). Fiat-brand cars are built in several locations around the world. Outside Italy, the largest country of production is Brazil, where the Fiat brand was the market leader for many years.[5][6] The group also has factories in Argentina, Poland and Mexico (where Fiat-brand vehicles are manufactured at plants owned and operated by [Stellantis North America](/source/Stellantis_North_America) for export to the United States, Brazil, Italy and other markets) and a long history of licensing manufacture of its products in other countries. Fiat Automobiles has received many international awards for its vehicles,[7] including nine [European Car of the Year](/source/European_Car_of_the_Year) awards, the most of any other manufacturer, and it ranked many times as the lowest level of CO2 emissions by vehicles sold in Europe.[8] ## History Main articles: [Fiat Group](/source/Fiat_Group), [Fiat Chrysler Automobiles](/source/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles), and [Stellantis](/source/Stellantis) *Left*: The founders of Fiat: 1. [Luigi Damevino](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luigi_Damevino&action=edit&redlink=1), 2. Cesare Goria Gatti, 3.

[Alfonso Ferrero](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfonso_Ferrero&action=edit&redlink=1). *Right*: [Fiat 4 HP](/source/Fiat_4_HP), the first model of car produced by Fiat. On 11 July 1899, [Giovanni Agnelli](/source/Giovanni_Agnelli) was part of the group of founding members of FIAT, *Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino*. The first Fiat plant opened in 1900[9] with 35 staff making 24 cars. Known from the beginning for the talent and creativity of its engineering staff, by 1903 Fiat made a small profit and produced 135 cars; this grew to 1,149 cars by 1906. The company then went public selling shares via the [Milan stock exchange](/source/Milan_stock_exchange). Agnelli led the company until his death in 1945, while [Vittorio Valletta](/source/Vittorio_Valletta) administered the firm's daily activities. Its first car, the [3 ½ CV](/source/Fiat_4_HP) (of which only 24 copies were built, all bodied by [Alessio](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alessio_(coachbuilder)&action=edit&redlink=1) of Turin)[10] was based on a design purchased from [Ceirano GB & C](/source/Ceirano_GB_%26_C) and had a 697 cc (42.5 cu in) boxer twin engine.[11] In 1903, Fiat produced its first truck.[12] In 1908, the first Fiat was exported to the US.[12] That same year, the first Fiat aircraft engine was produced. Also around the same time, Fiat taxis became popular in Europe.[13] An 1899 FIAT advertisement By 1910, Fiat was the largest automotive company in [Italy](/source/Italy). That same year, a new plant was built in [Poughkeepsie](/source/Poughkeepsie_(city)%2C_New_York), [NY](/source/New_York_City), by the newly founded American FIAT Automobile Company.[14][15] In the year 1911, 1,800 automobiles and 400 trucks were produced in Italy.[16] Owning a Fiat at that time was a sign of distinction. The cost of a Fiat in the US was initially $4,000[17] and rose to $6,400 in 1918,[18] compared to $825 and $525 for a [Ford Model T](/source/Ford_Model_T) in 1908[19] and 1918[20] respectively. During [World War I](/source/World_War_I), Fiat had to devote all of its factories to supplying [the Allies](/source/Allies_of_World_War_I) with aircraft, engines, machine guns, trucks, and ambulances. Upon the entry of the [US](/source/United_States) into the war in 1917, the factory was shut down as US regulations became too burdensome (the site was eventually sold to [Western Publishing](/source/Western_Publishing)). After the war, Fiat introduced its first tractor, the 702.[21] By the early 1920s, Fiat had a market share in Italy of 80%.[22] In 1921, workers seized Fiat's plants and hoisted the red flag of communism over them. Agnelli responded by quitting the company. However, the [Italian Socialist Party](/source/Italian_Socialist_Party) and its ally organization, the [Italian General Confederation of Labour](/source/Italian_General_Confederation_of_Labour), in an effort to effect a compromise with the centrist parties ordered the occupation ended. In 1922, Fiat began to build the famous [Lingotto](/source/Lingotto) car factory—then the largest in Europe—which opened in 1923. It was the first Fiat factory to use assembly lines; by 1925, Fiat controlled 87% of the Italian car market.[23] In 1928, with the [509](/source/Fiat_509), Fiat included insurance in the purchase price.[24] Fiat made military machinery and vehicles during World War II for the [Army](/source/Italian_Army) and *[Regia Aeronautica](/source/Regia_Aeronautica)* and later for the Germans. Fiat made fighter aircraft like the biplane [CR.42 Falco](/source/Fiat_CR.42_Falco), which was one of the most common Italian aircraft, along with [Savoia-Marchettis](/source/Savoia-Marchetti), as well as light tanks (obsolete compared to their German and Soviet counterparts) and armored vehicles. The best Fiat aircraft was the [G.55](/source/FIAT_G.55) fighter, which arrived too late and in too limited numbers. In 1943, the year [Benito Mussolini](/source/Benito_Mussolini) was overthrown, the [National Liberation Committee](/source/National_Liberation_Committee) removed the [Agnelli](/source/Agnelli_family) family from leadership roles in Fiat because of its ties to [Mussolini](/source/Benito_Mussolini)'s government. They were not returned until 1963, when Giovanni's grandson, [Gianni](/source/Gianni_Agnelli), took over as general manager until 1966, and as chairman until 1996. In 1970, Fiat employed more than 100,000 in Italy when its production reached the highest number, 1.4 million cars, in that country.[4] As of 2002, Fiat built more than 1 million vehicles at six plants in Italy and the country accounted for more than a third of the company's revenue.[4] Towards the end of 1976, it was announced that the Libyan government was to take a shareholding in the company in return for a capital injection. Other aspects of the Libyan agreement included the construction of a truck and bus plant at [Tripoli](/source/Tripoli%2C_Libya). Chairman Agnelli candidly described the deal as "a classic petro-money recycling operation which will strengthen the Italian reserves, provide Fiat with fresh capital and give the group greater tranquility in which to carry out its investment programmes".[25] On 29 January 2014, it was announced that [Fiat Group](/source/Fiat_Group) was to be merged with Chrysler Group into a new holding company [Fiat Chrysler Automobiles](/source/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles) (FCA).[26] On 1 August 2014, Fiat Group received the necessary shareholder approval to proceed with the merger,[27] which became effective on 12 October 2014.[28][29] In 2021, FCA merged with the French manufacturer [PSA Group](/source/PSA_Group), with the new conglomerate being named [Stellantis](/source/Stellantis). ## Leadership - [Giovanni Agnelli](/source/Giovanni_Agnelli) (1899–1945)[30] - [Vittorio Valletta](/source/Vittorio_Valletta) (1946–1966) - [Gianni Agnelli](/source/Gianni_Agnelli) (1966–1996) - Paolo Cantarella (1996–2002) - Giuseppe Morchio (2003–2004) - [Sergio Marchionne](/source/Sergio_Marchionne) (2004–2018)[31][32] - [Mike Manley](/source/Michael_Manley_(CEO)) (2018–2021)[33] - [Olivier François](/source/Olivier_Fran%C3%A7ois) (2021–present) ## Presence See also: [List of Fiat vehicles](/source/List_of_Fiat_vehicles) ### Europe Countries with Fiat Automobiles dealers, 2012 Fiat's main market is Europe, mainly focused on Italy. Historically successful in building city cars and Superminis, currently Fiat has a range of models focused on those two segments (accounting for the 84% of its sales in 2011). Fiat does not currently offer any large family cars, nor executive cars: these market segments are to some extent covered by the [Lancia](/source/Lancia), [Alfa Romeo](/source/Alfa_Romeo) and [Maserati](/source/Maserati) brands, which Fiat also owns. Fiat's share of the European market shrank from 9.4 percent in 2000 to 5.8 percent in the summer of 2004. At this point [Sergio Marchionne](/source/Sergio_Marchionne) was appointed as Fiat's chief executive. By March 2009 its market share had expanded to 9.1 percent.[34] Marchionne introduced an informal climate and reduced the links in the chain of command from nine to five.[35] He unilaterally decided to leave the Fiat group from [Confindustria](/source/Confindustria) and [Federmeccanica](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federmeccanica&action=edit&redlink=1), and to cancel the national collective labor agreement in the engineering sector by starting separate negotiations with some trade union organizations for a new specific company agreement in the automotive sector, starting from the [Pomigliano](/source/Pomigliano) production plant.[36][37] Fiat built its five-story [Lingotto](/source/Lingotto) plant between 1915 and 1918, at which time it was Europe's largest car manufacturing plant.[38] Later the Mirafiori plant was built, also in [Turin](/source/Turin). To prepare for the production of the all-new [Fiat 128](/source/Fiat_128), Fiat opened its [Rivalta](/source/Rivalta_di_Torino) plant in October 1968. Until the 128 entered production, the plant was used to build sports versions of the [850](/source/Fiat_850) and [124](/source/Fiat_124) as well as parts for the [Fiat Dino](/source/Fiat_Dino).[39] Fiat Punto Fiat Panda Cross Fiat 500X Fiat's 2018 range of passenger car engines comprised eleven units, eight petrols and three diesels.[40] Their current range of models is the following: - [Quadricycle](/source/Quadricycle): [Fiat Topolino](/source/Fiat_Topolino_(2023)) - [City car](/source/City_car): [Fiat 500](/source/Fiat_New_500), [Fiat Pandina](/source/Fiat_Panda) - [Subcompact car](/source/Subcompact_car): [Fiat Grande Panda](/source/Fiat_Grande_Panda) - [Mini SUV](/source/Mini_SUV): [Fiat 600](/source/Fiat_600_(2023)) - [Mini MPV](/source/Mini_MPV): [Fiat Qubo L](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fiat_Qubo_L&action=edit&redlink=1) - [Large MPV](/source/Large_MPV): [Fiat Ulysse](/source/Fiat_Ulysse) Fiat sales in 2011 were up to 676,704 (less 17.3% versus the previous year):[41] Model 2011 sales Fiat Punto 220,343 Fiat Panda 189,527 Fiat 500 156,301 Fiat Linea 35,499 Fiat Bravo 31,673 Fiat Sedici 14,777 Fiat Freemont 13,651 Fiat Albea 8,951 Fiat Idea 5,982 Light commercial vehicles are sold in Europe under the brand [Fiat Professional](/source/Fiat_Professional). Fiat was already exporting cars to the UK market by the outbreak of [World War II](/source/World_War_II) in 1939. Its market share increased rapidly during the 1970s, with the [127](/source/Fiat_127) supermini and [128](/source/Fiat_128) range of small family cars being the biggest sellers, selling largely on practicality and efficiency. Fiat's market share increased further during the 1980s with the [Fiat Uno](/source/Fiat_Uno) (imported to the UK from June 1983) being the company's best-seller in the UK, and its share fell sharply in the early 1990s before the arrival of the [Punto](/source/Fiat_Punto) in March 1994 rejuvenated the company's UK fortunes. The second-generation Punto was a strong seller in the UK after its October 1999 launch, but the new modern-day [Fiat 500](/source/Fiat_500) (launched there in January 2008) has accounted for most of the company's UK sales in more recent years. The original Fiat 500 had been one of the few direct competitors for the iconic [Mini](/source/Mini) during its 1960s heyday.[42] ### South America Fiat Cultural Center in [Belo Horizonte](/source/Belo_Horizonte), Brazil. Fiat Uno, specifically developed for the Brazilian market Fiat has long invested in South America, mainly in [Brazil](/source/Brazil) (where Fiat has been the market leader for many years) and in [Argentina](/source/Argentina). It built its first Brazilian car plant in the [Greater Belo Horizonte](/source/Greater_Belo_Horizonte) city of [Betim](/source/Betim) in 1973, after initially assembling tractors there.[43] The Brazilian range is similar to the European one, with the addition of a special family which derives from a common platform (called "Project 178"): [Palio](/source/Fiat_Palio), [Siena](/source/Fiat_Siena), [Palio Weekend](/source/Fiat_Palio_Weekend) and [Strada](/source/Fiat_Strada). Recently a range of new models developed in [Brazil](/source/Brazil) has been launched: [Pulse](/source/Fiat_Pulse), [Fiorino](/source/Fiat_Fiorino), [Toro](/source/Fiat_Toro), [Argo](/source/Fiat_Argo), and [Mobi](/source/Fiat_Mobi). Other European models are currently imported to Brazil: [500e](/source/Fiat_New_500), imported from [Italy](/source/Italy), and [Cronos](/source/Fiat_Cronos), imported from [Argentina](/source/Argentina). Fiat sells in [Brazil](/source/Brazil) under the Fiat brand, European [Fiat Professional](/source/Fiat_Professional) light commercial vehicles as: - [Strada](/source/Fiat_Strada) (developed in Brazil, has the same platform as the [Palio](/source/Fiat_Palio) from "Project 178") - [Ducato](/source/Fiat_Ducato) Models that have already been sold in Brazil: - [Uno](/source/Fiat_Uno) - [Linea](/source/Fiat_Linea) - [Tipo](/source/Fiat_Tipo_(Type_160)) - [Tempra](/source/Fiat_Tempra) - [Prêmio](/source/Fiat_Duna) - [Elba](/source/Fiat_Elba) - [Idea](/source/Fiat_Idea) - [Punto](/source/Fiat_Punto) - [Marea](/source/Fiat_Marea) - [Bravo](/source/Fiat_Bravo) - [147](/source/Fiat_147) (and its family: the [saloon](/source/Saloon_(car)) Oggi and the [estate](/source/Estate_(car)) Panorama) - [Doblò](/source/Fiat_Dobl%C3%B2) ### North America Fiat re-entered the North American market in 2011 with the new [Fiat 500](/source/Fiat_500_(2007)). In 1908, the Fiat Automobile Co. was established in the United States with a factory in [Poughkeepsie, N.Y.](/source/Poughkeepsie%2C_New_York),[44][45] began producing Fiats a year later, like the [Fiat 60 HP](/source/Fiat_60_HP) and the [Fiat 16-20 HP](/source/Fiat_16-20_HP).[14] These were luxury cars.[46] The New Jersey factory was closed after the U.S. entered [World War I](/source/World_War_I) in 1917.[47] Fiat returned to North America in the 1950s, selling the original 500, [Fiat 600 Multipla](/source/Fiat_600), [Fiat 1100](/source/Fiat_1100), [Fiat 1200](/source/Fiat_1200),[48] and the [Fiat 1300](/source/Fiat_1300_and_1500) from 1961. Models produced from the 1960s onward include the [Fiat 124 Sport Spider](/source/Fiat_124_Sport_Spider) and the [Fiat X1/9](/source/Fiat_X1%2F9) - these two sporting cars remained rather successful in the United States market, which took nearly sixty percent of the total production in 1980.[49][50][51] Fiat gained a reputation for selling poor quality cars in North America, mostly over rust and poor reliability.[52] The last new Fiat model to be introduced in North America during this era was the [Strada](/source/Fiat_Ritmo), in February 1979.[53] Sales in the US fell accordingly, from a high of 100,511 cars in 1975 to 14,113 in 1982.[50] Accordingly, Fiat left the United States car market in 1983, although the Spider and the X1/9 continued to be sold in small numbers with Pininfarina and Bertone badging respectively.[54] In January 2009, the [Fiat Group](/source/Fiat_Group) acquired a 20% stake in US automaker [Chrysler LLC](/source/Chrysler_LLC).[55] The deal saw the return of the Fiat brand to North America after a 25-year absence. The first Fiat-branded model to appear was the internationally popular [Fiat 500](/source/Fiat_500_(2007)) city car. The Fiat 500 model is built at Chrysler's assembly plant in Toluca, Mexico, which also made the [Dodge Journey](/source/Dodge_Journey) and [Fiat Freemont](/source/Fiat_Freemont) crossovers.[56] Fiat is also selling its commercial vehicles [Fiat Ducato](/source/Fiat_Ducato) and [Fiat Doblò](/source/Fiat_Dobl%C3%B2) in North America, rebranded as Ram ProMaster and Ram ProMaster City respectively. Fiat discontinued production of the Fiat 500 in 2019 while sales of leftover dealer stock continued into 2020.[57] FIAT also discontinued the 124 spider and 500L models in 2020.[58] Fiat announced a new car will be released; a plug-in 500e to launch in 2024.[59] ### Africa Fiat passenger cars began assembly in South Africa in 1950, and full production in its Rosslyn plant commenced in 1966.[60] Sales reached a peak market share of about five percent around 1970 but then dropped precipitously. A new [128](/source/Fiat_128)-based half-ton pickup truck helped turn the situation around.[61] It also assembled in Egypt through El-Nasr Automotive Manufacturing Company which assembled FIAT brands 125-127-128. On 13 October 2022, Fiat Brand and the [Algerian government](/source/Algerian_Government) signed a framework agreement aimed at local production of vehicles and the development of the automotive sector in Algeria.[62][63] ### Asia [Fiat Viaggio](/source/Fiat_Viaggio) Fiat's presence in the Chinese market is limited compared to its European, Japanese, Korean, and American rivals. At the beginning of 2012, Fiat was only importing [Fiat Bravo](/source/Fiat_Bravo_(2007)) and [Fiat 500](/source/Fiat_500_(2007)) model. However, in 2012 Fiat and [GAC](/source/GAC_Group) opened a joint venture plant to produce the first Fiat vehicle specifically developed for the Chinese market ever: the [Fiat Viaggio](/source/Fiat_Viaggio), a compact car derived from another Fiat model, the [Dodge Dart](/source/Dodge_Dart_(PF)) (in turn derived from another Fiat car, the [Alfa Romeo Giulietta](/source/Alfa_Romeo_Giulietta_(940))). Fiat currently offers Japanese consumers the 500 in both coupe and convertible body styles, and the Panda. Fiat was present in the Indian market from 1948 until 2019. They were last operating in a joint venture with [Tata Motors](/source/Tata_Motors) before going solo in 2012. ## Current production Main article: [List of Fiat passenger cars](/source/List_of_Fiat_passenger_cars) ### Europe, Middle East, and Africa - [A-segment](/source/A-segment) hatchback - [Fiat New 500](/source/Fiat_New_500) - [A-segment](/source/A-segment) hatchback - [Fiat Panda](/source/Fiat_Panda) - [B-segment](/source/B-segment) hatchback - [Fiat Grande Panda](/source/Fiat_Grande_Panda) - [B-segment](/source/B-segment) crossover SUV - [Fiat 600](/source/Fiat_600_(2023)) - [C-segment](/source/C-segment) hatchback, saloon, estate - [Fiat Tipo](/source/Fiat_Tipo_(2015)) - [Minivan](/source/Minivan) - [Fiat Ulysse](/source/Citro%C3%ABn_Jumpy) - [Minivan](/source/Minivan) - [Fiat Doblò/Qubo](/source/Citro%C3%ABn_Berlingo) - Small [LCV](/source/Light_commercial_vehicle) - [Fiat Doblò](/source/Fiat_Dobl%C3%B2) - Mid-size [LCV](/source/Light_commercial_vehicle) - [Fiat Scudo](/source/Fiat_Scudo) - Large [LCV](/source/Light_commercial_vehicle) - [Fiat Ducato](/source/Fiat_Ducato) - [Fiat Panda](/source/Fiat_Panda) - [Fiat 500e](/source/Fiat_New_500) - [Fiat 500X](/source/Fiat_500X) - [Fiat 600e](/source/Fiat_600e) - [Fiat Tipo](/source/Fiat_Tipo_(2015)) - [Fiat Grande Panda](/source/Fiat_Grande_Panda) - [Fiat Ulysse](/source/Citro%C3%ABn_Jumpy) - [Fiat E-Doblò](/source/Citro%C3%ABn_e-Berlingo) ### Latin America - [A-segment](/source/A-segment) hatchback - [Fiat Mobi](/source/Fiat_Mobi) - [B-segment](/source/B-segment) hatchback - [Fiat Argo](/source/Fiat_Argo) - [B-segment](/source/Fiat_Cronos) saloon - [Fiat Cronos](/source/Fiat_Cronos) - [Subcompact crossover SUV](/source/Subcompact_crossover_SUV) - [Fiat Pulse](/source/Fiat_Pulse) - [Compact crossover SUV](/source/Compact_crossover_SUV) - [Fiat Fastback](/source/Fiat_Fastback) - [Coupé utility](/source/Coup%C3%A9_utility) - [Fiat Strada](/source/Fiat_Strada) - [Compact pickup](/source/Pickup_truck#Compact_pickup_truck) - [Fiat Toro](/source/Fiat_Toro) - [LCV](/source/Light_commercial_vehicle) - [Fiat Fiorino](/source/Fiat_Fiorino) - [LCV](/source/Light_commercial_vehicle) - [Fiat Ducato](/source/Fiat_Ducato) - [Fiat Mobi](/source/Fiat_Mobi) - [Fiat Argo](/source/Fiat_Argo) - [Fiat Cronos](/source/Fiat_Cronos) - [Fiat Pulse](/source/Fiat_Pulse) - [Fiat Fastback](/source/Fiat_Fastback) - [Fiat Strada](/source/Fiat_Strada) - [Fiat Toro](/source/Fiat_Toro) - [Fiat Titano](/source/Peugeot_Landtrek) ## European Cars of the Year The [European Car of the Year](/source/European_Car_of_the_Year) award has been awarded twelve times to the [Fiat Group](/source/Fiat_Group) over the last forty years, more than any other manufacturer. Nine of these awards were won by Fiat Automobiles models. Fiat models awarded the title: - 1967: [Fiat 124](/source/Fiat_124) - 1970: [Fiat 128](/source/Fiat_128) - 1972: [Fiat 127](/source/Fiat_127) - 1984: [Fiat Uno](/source/Fiat_Uno) - 1989: [Fiat Tipo](/source/Fiat_Tipo_(Type_160)) - 1995: [Fiat Punto](/source/Fiat_Punto) - 1996: [Fiat Bravo/Brava](/source/Fiat_Bravo%2FBrava) - 2004: [Fiat Panda](/source/Fiat_Nuova_Panda) - 2008: [Fiat 500](/source/Fiat_500_(2007))[64] ### CO2 emissions Fiat Automobiles, one of Europe's 10 best-selling automotive brands, has for the second year running been confirmed as having the lowest average value for CO2 emissions from vehicles sold in 2008: 133.7 g/km (137.3 g/km in 2007). This was corroborated by [JATO](/source/JATO_Dynamics), a provider of automotive data.[65] ## Electric vehicles Fiat started the development of electric vehicles back in the mid-1970s, with the [Fiat X1/23](/source/Fiat_X1%2F23) concept. In 2008, Fiat showed the [Phylla](/source/Fiat_Phylla) concept,[66] and the Fiat Bugster concept in Brazil.[67] Fiat joined utility companies [Cemig](/source/Cemig) and [Itaipu](/source/Itaipu_(company)) to develop new electric vehicles for Brazil, with production in 2009 of the [Palio Weekend](/source/Fiat_Palio) Electric.[68] Fiat launched the electric [500e](/source/Fiat_500_(2007)#500e), a [compliance car](/source/Compliance_car), in California in 2013, but no sales were planned for Europe.[69] Fiat CEO [Sergio Marchionne](/source/Sergio_Marchionne) claimed in 2014 that each one was sold at a loss of $14,000.[70] In 2016, after [Tesla](/source/Tesla%2C_Inc.) had announced the [Model 3](/source/Tesla_Model_3) and had a high number of reservations for the electric car, Marchionne questioned whether Tesla could produce the cars and be profitable. He then stated that "if Tesla CEO Elon Musk can demonstrate that the car will be profitable at that price, I will copy the formula, add the Italian design flair, and get it to the market within 12 months."[71] ## Concept vehicles - 1952 [Fiat Abarth 1500 Biposto](/source/Abarth_1500_Biposto) (Abarth, Bertone) - 1954 [Fiat Turbina](/source/Fiat_Turbina)[72] - 1956 Fiat 600 Multipla Eden Roc - 1957 Fiat 1200 Stanguellini Spider - 1961 Fiat 600 Model Y Berlinetta - 1964 Fiat 2300 S Coupe Speciale - 1967 Fiat 125 Executive Concept - 1967 Fiat 125 GTZ - 1967 Fiat Dino Parigi - 1968 Fiat Abarth 2000[73] - 1969 Fiat 128 Coupe - 1969 Fiat 128 Teenager - 1972 Fiat 128 Pulsar Michelotti - 1972 Fiat ESV 1500 - 1972 [Fiat X1/23](/source/Fiat_X1%2F23) - 1974 Fiat 127 Village - 1975 Fiat Abarth 131 - 1976 Fiat 126 Cavaletta - 1980 Fiat Panda 4×4 Strip (153) - 1992 Fiat Grigua (170) - 1992 Fiat Cinquecento Cita (170) - 1993 [Fiat Downtown](/source/Fiat_Downtown) - 1993 Fiat Lucciola Concept (170) - 1993 Fiat ZIC - 1994 Fiat Punto Racer (176) - 1994 Fiat Firepoint[74] - 1996 Fiat Bravo Enduro Concept (182) - 1996 Fiat Formula 4 - 1996 Fiat Vuscia Concept - 1996 Fiat Barchetta Coupe Concept by Maggiora - 2004 [Fiat Trepiùno](/source/Fiat_Trepi%C3%B9no) - 2005 Fiat Oltre - 2006 Fiat FCC - 2006 [Fiat Suagna Bertone](/source/Bertone_Suagn%C3%A0) - 2007 Fiat Barchetta Bertone - 2008 [Fiat Phylla](/source/Fiat_Phylla) - 2010 Fiat FCC 3 Mio - 2012 Fiat FCC 2 - 2014 Fiat FCC 4 ## Motorsport In 1971, the [Fiat 124 Sport Spider](/source/Fiat_124_Sport_Spider) was prepared for the [World Rally Championship](/source/World_Rally_Championship) when Abarth became involved with its production and development and from 1972 had relative success with two wins in 1972, one in 1973, and won 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 1974 Portuguese TAP Rally.[75] The [Fiat 131 Abarth](/source/Fiat_131) was a very successful [rally car](/source/Rally_car) replacing the 124. Between 1976 and 1981 the Fiat 131 won 18 World Rally Championship events,[76] resulting in winning the WRC Drivers Championship two times: in [1978](/source/1978_World_Rally_Championship_season), and in [1980](/source/1980_World_Rally_Championship_season), and winning the WRC Constructors Championship three times: in [1977](/source/1977_World_Rally_Championship_season), [1978](/source/1978_World_Rally_Championship_season), and in [1980](/source/1980_World_Rally_Championship_season).[77] [Lancia](/source/Lancia) took over the role of motorsport for the Fiat Group during the 1980s. After a long break of factory-supported entries, in 2003 a [Fiat Punto](/source/Fiat_Punto) S1600 won the Italian Rally Championship, and in 2006 the [Fiat Grande Punto](/source/Fiat_Grande_Punto) S2000 won the FIA [European Rally Championship](/source/European_Rally_Championship),[78] followed by three successive wins in 2009, 2010 and 2011. ## Marketing ### Logo The FIAT initials were first used in the distinctive [logo](/source/Logo) form in 1901.[79] Beginning in 1931, the company began using a single red shield without a wreath. In 1968 the "rhomboid" logo (as it was known internally) was introduced which featured the FIAT initials spelled out on four interconnected [rhombuses](/source/Rhombus). The rhomboid was slowly phased in during the early 1970s, although the older "laurel wreath" style FIAT badge was used to denote sporting models such as the 124 Spider, 127 Sport, X1/9, and the tuned Abarth models. A new corporate nose based on the rhomboid logo was first introduced in 1983 on the Uno, which consisted of five chrome bars inclined at an angle of 18 degrees to mirror the rhomboid, which usually appeared in reduced size at the corner of the grille. In 1999, the wreath-style logo was reintroduced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the company.[80] - 1899 - 1903 - 1908 - 1921 - 1925 - 1931 - 1932 - 1938 - 1959 - 1965 - 1972–2003 - 1999–2006 - 2006–2022[n2 1] - 2020–2023[n2 2] - 2023–present[n2 3] **Notes** 1. **[^](#cite_ref-logo1_82-0)** Used on cars (interiors, rear views) dealerships 1. **[^](#cite_ref-logo2_83-0)** Used in cars, as the front view, on social media and on websites 1. **[^](#cite_ref-logo3_84-0)** Used on social media and on websites ### Motor Village and flagship stores Fiat launched its Motor Village [flagship store](/source/Flagship_store) concept in 2006, with its Mirafiori Motor Village in Turin, followed by London's on [Wigmore Street](/source/Wigmore_Street) in 2008[81] and Paris's on the [Champs-Élysées](/source/Champs-%C3%89lys%C3%A9es) in 2010.[82] ### BSM-Fiat deal In 2009, BSM (the [British School of Motoring](/source/British_School_of_Motoring)) ended a 16-year relationship with [Vauxhall Motors](/source/Vauxhall_Motors) and signed a deal with Fiat UK to swap its learner vehicle from the Vauxhall Corsa to the new [Fiat 500](/source/Fiat_Nuova_500). Fiat UK was expected to supply 14,000 cars to BSM over four years in a marketing deal.[83] ## See also - [Costruzioni Motori Diesel](/source/Costruzioni_Motori_Diesel) ## Notes 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** Originally stylized in [all caps](/source/All_caps).
