I`ve driven one to within an inch of its poor little buzzy life and found it

quite amusing.



However, it`s hard work trying to keep the bloody things going quickly.



I prefer my current transport - which never goes above 2000 rpm in the daily

grind.

Those little Fiats are fun to drive round town and back roads - you can

have a *lot* of pretty pure driving enjoyment without breaking the

speed limits (just as well as it`s not pretty if you crash one). I miss

driving the Cinquecento but not the ex who owned it. My friend`s

modified Lancia Y10 Turbo was a much bigger hoot though and its 1.0

engine did 11MPG :D

The two slotted right domes on the carbon fibre bonnet send extra air into the 12 cylinder engine. The car squats on large 9×20 front and 10.5×21 rear specially-insincere striking rims wrapped in 255/30ZR20 front and 295/25ZR21 rear Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. The coilover suspension has been adjusted to lower the centre of gravity and upgrade street property for providing the best road holding.

They involve some bits from the console, the centre console and the re-designed steering controls. Foot gearshift was made of aluminium while the door sills and head rests feature embroidered CYRUS logos. Hand-stitched leather covers the seats, parts of the dashboard and inside the door panels.
