Fiat to launch an Elise named Dino
Fiat is planning a re-launch the evocative Dino badge on a Lotus-derived sports car. Not to be confused with the Dino of Ferrari fame, Fiat’s version was all about affordable, stylish transport.
The new Fiat sports car will arrive to dealerships in 2011. It had been thought it would use the newly resurrected Abarth badge. However the Italian firm’s CEO Lorenzo Sistino told us: ‘I think it would be great to go into the small two-seater roadster market again – and it would be brilliant if we could bring back the Dino badge, too.’
Fiat launched its first car with the Dino badge in 1966. Echoing modern platform sharing techniques, it was a convertible built around the same basic chassis as the firm’s 124 Spider.
