1994 I.DE.A Lampo

For the market launch of the Fiat Punto in 1994, the Fiat group asked I.DE.A Institute to reinterpret the Punto "theme" by building a static model for the Turin Motor Show. The Moncalieri firm responded by revisiting the coupé in relation to the Fiat family feeling. The treatment of the Lampo body highlights the disposition of the volumes of the bonnet and its finely engraved ribbing. The profile of the sides develops round an original window, which precedes the door and joins up with the volumes to the rear, which features long neon lights and virtually no jut.


The design is accompanied by dimensions slightly larger than the standard Punto's - 3870 mm in length by 1720 mm in width - while the height drops to 1270 mm. The Lampo too considers the principles of the research carried out on monocoque bodies and presents itself as an alternative to current typologies. The body was designed in pressed aluminum to reduce weight considerably.
