The 2003 Fiat-Abarth Panda Rally Prototype was a rally-oriented concept based on the second-generation Fiat Panda (Tipo 169). Developed by Abarth, it was designed to explore the rallying potential of the small Panda platform. The car featured a widened track, reinforced and upgraded suspension, and a 130-horsepower engine to handle the demands of competitive driving.


This prototype wasn’t just a showpiece—it laid the groundwork for the Panda Rally Cup, a one-make rally series aimed at young drivers under the age of 25. The project showcased how a compact city car could be transformed into a capable and exciting entry-level rally vehicle.
