Pedestrians will love hitting those sharp and pointy front fenders! And the front lights will love all those nice stones flying from the tires and hitting them!

Oh and the tread pattern on the tires seems to be the wrong way around.

And how are you supposed to look out through the windscreen when there's a huge beam going across it in the middle? Doesn't that block the view a little? :D

This is just a concept car, or someone really thought it would be a vehicle produced in series?

In fact this concept brings a lot of innovation for the Brazilian market, starting with the fact that Fiat do Brasil has applied nanotechnology to manufacture the parts more resistant and less burdensome in Fiat Bugster Concept, the engine also is fueled by electricity, which is "new" in the Brazilian market. This is the second car made by Fiat that uses that energy to move a car, the Fiat Palio was first developed by Fiat in partnership with a Itaipu and this can lead to show that Fiat has in mind in producing electric cars country (pure speculation on my part)

In addition some of the technologies applied to the vehicle should be applied in future vehicles of the brand, is the national (Brazilian) or the sold in Europe.
