1980 Fiat Panda 4x4 Offroader by ItalDesign

With this 4WD version, the versatility of the Panda project finds its completion, thanks to ItalDesign's patent on four-wheel-drive. The Panda 4×4 Offroader is the Panda version destined for absolute fun and outing on uneven land.

The four-wheel-drive patent was sold to FIAT immediately after Turin Motor Show in 1980 to allow the production of the Panda 4×4 beginning from 1983. It has Panda bodywork, while interiors propose a sophisticated leather trimming. Panel controls are equipped with an ascent and descent indicator. There is a retractable pocket in the luggage van with rescue tools and belts for baggage. During the first four years, more than 70.000 panda 4×4 are sold. It was presented along with the 1980 Fiat Panda 4x4 Strip by ItalDesign.
