1994 Fiat Firepoint

At the 1994 Turin motor show, Fiat asked "carrozzieri" belonging to ANFIA to develop their interpretation of the Punto, launched during the previous year.

Much attention was dedicated to the car's aerodynamics, which is aeronautically inspired. The dome-shaped roof over the car's body is completely transparent and reminiscent of the pilots' cabins of hunter aircraft. The back-raked pillar of the wraparound windscreen is reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s.

Access to the car is via the solution previously adopted for the 50 BMW Nazca of 1991: the door opens traditionally, while the windows have a gull-wing opening mechanism. The side windows and the rear window are removable, and the Firepoint can be converted to a roadster due to its central rollbar and the connecting structure between rollbar and windscreen.
