Five Fiat Concept Cars Along Company Roadmap

By Paul-Henri Matha

In parallel to the Geneva motorshow, Fiat have revealed five concept cars illustrating the brand’s intentions. The concepts could portend new Fiat Panda and Panda 4×4, Multipla, Tipo, and Pickup models.

This fresh new design comes as a product of the arrival of new Head of Design Francois Leboine in 2021. I used to work with Leboine at Renault. Together we did the Scenic 3 lamp design while Francois Bedu was doing the Megane lamp design in the 2003-2006 period. We did the first Renault lamp with microöptics and LEDs.

Later, we worked hard with him to do Renault’s first full-LED headlamp on Espace (2011-2015). He was pushing hard to have no filament lamps on this car, to be able to drastically change the shape of the front fascia with thinner lamps.

Francois has always been innovative in lamp design, and it is a pleasure for me—and not only me, I think!—to discover these five new concept cars with really cool design and nice new lamp signatures.

Fiat design is a really good example of the interesting discussion we had during the Munich DVN Workshop, as to whether pixel lighting is a fad or a trend.

Well done, Francois!
