The Fiat Cinquecento (pronounced [tʃiŋkweˈtʃɛnto] in Italian, IPA: /ˌtʃɪŋkwəˈtʃɛntoʊ/ in English) was a city car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design, launched by Fiat in late 1991 to replace the Fiat 126. A city car (or urban car) is a small moderately powered Automobile intended for use in Urban areas It is comparable in size and features to a Giorgetto Giugiaro (born August 7, 1938) is an Italian Automobile designer He was born in Garessio, Province of Cuneo Italdesign-Giugiaro SpA (commonly called Italdesign) is an Automobile design and engineering company in Turin, Italy. Fiat SpA (an Acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian Automobile Factory of Turin) is an Italian automobile manufacturer The Fiat 126 was a City car introduced in 1972 as a replacement for the Fiat 500. It was the first Fiat model to be solely manufactured in the FSM plant in Tychy, Poland, which was just sold to Fiat by the Polish state, and where the production of the 126 (in its Polish variant, the Polski Fiat 126p) was still running. Tychy (Tichau is a city in southern Poland with a population of 132600 Poland (Polska officially the Republic of Poland The Fiat 126 was a City car introduced in 1972 as a replacement for the Fiat 500. The production of the Cinquecento ended in 1998, when it was replaced by the Seicento.

The Cinquecento was available in one body style only, a small, angular 3-door hatchback, with a favorable drag coefficient of only 0. Hatchback is a term designating an Automobile design containing a passenger cabin with an integrated Cargo space accessed from behind the vehicle by a single The drag coefficient ( Cd, Cx or Cw) is a Dimensionless quantity that describes how streamlined an 33 that bore similariies to the Lancia Y10. The Autobianchi Y10 is a City car manufactured by the Italian Automaker Fiat from 1985 to 1996 and marketed under the Autobianchi It featured several advances compared to older Fiat city cars, including independent suspension both in the front and in the rear similar to the FIAT Tipo, front disc brakes, side impact bars along with crumple zones incorporated in the design and galvanized body panels to fend off corrosion. Independent suspension is a broad term for any Automobile suspension system that allows each wheel on the same Axle to move vertically (i The disc brake or disk brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a Wheel. The crumple zone of a vehicle such as an Automobile is a structural feature designed to compress during an Accident to absorb Energy from an impact Corrosion means the breaking down of essential properties in a material due to Chemical reactions with its surroundings Steering was by rack and pinion, and although power steering was never offered, the car could be ordered with a number of extras, including central locking, power windows, sunroof (or full-length retractable canvas roof in the Soleil version) and even air conditioning. A rack and pinion is a pair of Gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion Power steering is a system for reducing the Steering effort on vehicles by using an external power source to assist in turning the roadwheels. Power door locks (also known as electric door locks or central locking) allow the driver or front passenger to simultaneously lock or unlock all the doors of an Automobile Power windows or electric windows are Automobile Windows which can be raised and lowered by depressing a button or Switch, as opposed An automotive sunroof is a fixed hinged or sliding opening in an Automobile Roof which allows light and/or fresh air to enter the passenger compartment The term air conditioning refers to the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for Thermal comfort.

Engines
Unlike the rear-wheel drive 126, the Cinquecento was a front-wheel drive car. Front-wheel drive (or FF layout) is a form of engine / transmission layout used in Motor vehicles where the engine drives the front Wheels It was initially available with two engine choices, with the 1. 1 L FIRE joining the lineup later. Interestingly, while the 704 cc engine was mounted longitudinally, the bigger units were fitted transversely, making the little Fiat one of the few cars in the world available with both configurations at the same time. In Automotive engineering, a longitudinal engine, also sometimes known as a north-south engine, is an Internal combustion engine in which the Crankshaft A transverse engine is an Engine in which the Crankshaft is oriented side-to-side relative to the length of the vehicle [2][3]
704 cc
The smallest engine, intended for sale in Poland only, was a 704 cc ohv two-cylinder unit, delivering 30 bhp DIN (22 kW. An overhead valve (OHV engine, also called pushrod engine or I-head engine is a type of Piston engine that places the Camshaft Deutsches Institut für Normung eV ( DIN; in English, the German Institute for Standardization) is the German national organization for The watt (symbol W) is the SI derived unit of power, equal to one Joule of energy per Second. Cinquecento inherited this unit from the 126p BIS, an evolution of the 126p which was cancelled when the Cinquecento production started. In order to be fitted in the front-wheel drive Cinquecento, it underwent a major refurbishment (although the engine still employed a carburettor), which resulted, among other changes, in the crankshaft revolving in the opposite direction than in the 126p BIS![2][3]
903/899 cc
The bigger engine was the 903 cc 40 bhp DIN (29 kW) version of the veteran ohv four-cylinder engine, which saw service in many small Fiat models, starting with Fiat 850.

It was fitted with fuel injection and was the base engine in most markets. Fuel injection is a system for mixing fuel with air in an Internal combustion engine. Due to fiscal limitations, the displacement of this unit was limited to 899 cc in 1993, with a slight reduction of output, now producing 39 PS ECE (29 kW). [2][3]
1. 1 FIRE (Sporting)
In 1994, Fiat introduced the Cinquecento Sporting, featuring the 1108 cc SOHC FIRE 54 hp (40 kW) ECE engine from the entry-level Punto of the same era, mated to a close-ratio gearbox. The FIRE (for "Fully Integrated Robotised Engine" is a series of Automobile engines from Fiat. The Fiat Punto is a supermini produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat, since 1993 Other additions were a 20 mm (0. 8 in) drop in standard ride height, anti-roll bars, 13" alloy wheels, plus colour coded bumpers and mirrors. The interior saw a tachometer added, along with sports seats, red seatbelts and a leather steering wheel and gear knob.
It is the Sporting model which gave birth to a rallying trophy and a Group A Kit-Car version. Rallying is a form of motor competition that takes place on public or private roads with modified production or specially built road-legal cars In relation to Motorsport governed by the FIA, Group A referred to a set of regulations providing production-derived vehicles for outright competition [2][3]
Fiat Cinquecento concepts
In the mid 1990s, a number of concept cars based on the Fiat Cinquecento were developed by a number of design houses including one that featured half of the car's interior and a running board to place a bike. Another of these designs was the Lucciola, a proposal for a new Cinquecento by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Giorgetto Giugiaro (born August 7, 1938) is an Italian Automobile designer He was born in Garessio, Province of Cuneo However instead of the car becoming the next small Fiat city car, a version of the design ended up being put into production by the South Korean Daewoo Motors as their Matiz. Fiat SpA (an Acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian Automobile Factory of Turin) is an Italian automobile manufacturer South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea and often referred to as Korea ( Korean: 대한민국 tɛː GM Daewoo Auto & Technology ( GM Daewoo or GMDAT) was first established as National Motor in 1937 in Bupyeong-gu Incheon, South Korea.
