World Premiere: Fiat Panda "Monster"
Showing alongside the new Fiat Panda Cross at the Bologna Motor Show is the special edition Panda Monster. Obviously
not named after its enormous dimensions or fearsome presence, the car is in fact named after Ducati's "Monster"
motorcycle.
Launched in the 1990's, Ducati's Monster is the original "naked"
motorcycle, and a genuine cult classic. To commemorate the famous bike's original 620cc displacement, the Panda Monster
will be built in a limited edition of 620 units, all in the black color scheme of the classic bike.
Fiat's Monster receives the complete black-out treatment - paint, mouldings, trim, roof rack, etc. Black leather
upholstery adorns the interior.
The Monster Panda 4x4 is powered by Fiat's 70 hp 1.3-liter turbodiesel, good for 0-100 kph in a pavement-ripping 18
seconds (somewhat slower than the bike).
