Writer's picture: Story CarsStory Cars

With the 1994 Ethos III concept, Pininfarina tried to reinvent the city car. The body is hardly longer than the Fiat Cinquecento, it was possible to fit six seats - two rows of three with a narrower middle seat. Critical to the car's compactness was the Orbital's tiny 1.2-liter three-cylinder two-stroke engine. The lightweight aluminum body helped keep the weight of just 780 kg, which significantly reduced fuel consumption.
