Fiat to display two design concepts in Detroit - Automobile News

Fiat 500 Abarth "Tenebra" design concept


Looking to build on the success of the 500 Abarth, Fiat will unveil a new Abarth "Tenebra" design concept in Detroit.

Described as being "designed for driving purists who crave more exclusivity and style," the Tenebra concept sports a Matte Grigio (gray) exterior, contrasted with gloss black accents on the car's light bezels, body stripes and mirror caps. The show car also features a gloss black roof-sized Abarth "Scorpion" logo and unique 16-inch wheels.

That gray and black color theme carries over into the car's interior, where special Abarth-designed front performance seats replace the usual standard buckets. Other stylized touches include flat-bottom steering wheel and instrument-panel cluster wrapped in black leather, carbon fiber accents and accent stitching.

The Tenebra concept has also been fitted with a Beats Audio system

Fiat 500 "Cattiva" design concept
Based on the tamer 500 Turbo model, the "Cattiva" design concept stands out from the crowd with a bold Rame (copper) exterior color. Like the "Tenebra" design concept, the Cattiva uses plenty of gloss black accents to give the 500 a distinctive bi-color look.

Inside, the Fiat 500 Cattiva features black leather seats, as well as a matte black instrument panel. Contrasting silver stitching gives the car an added bit of style.

Fiat isn't saying if either concept will eventually wind up in dealer showrooms, but we expect to learn more during the Detroit auto show.
