VIDEO: Fiat 500 Races Koenigsegg CCX in Swedish Webhost Ad
Here's a car race with a difference: an automotive remake of the classic Tortoise and the Hare story, starring a Fiat 500 as the tortoise and a Koenigsegg CCX as the hare. Well, not a real 500 and CCX; these are 1:24 scale models, and the whole thing is filmed in stop motion. It was made by Swedish filmmaker and photographer Robin Danehav as an advertisement for Binero, a Swedish webhosting service.

VIDEO: Fiat 500 & 500C with New Two-Cylinder Turbo Engine
The crew from Fiat have published some B-roll footage of the 500 hatch and cabriolet models fitted with the Italian firm's new 0.9-liter turbocharged two-cylinder gasoline unit as well as a separate (and somewhat less appealing) video of the engine alone.
The Twinair unit the first of a new family of two-cylinder engines that will be used on numerous A- and B-segment cars of the Fiat Group. This particular version produces 85HP propelling the 500 hatch from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 11 seconds and returning a combined fuel consumption of 4.1 lt/100km (57.4mpg US) with C02 emissions of just 95g/km.

Fiat 500C: New Video with Driving Footage of the Convertible Model
Here's the first driving footage of Fiat's brand-new 500C convertible model that was revealed to the world for the first time at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The new variant of the 500 that features an electric-sliding fabric top enters the European market two years after the launch of the fixed-roof model. Currently, Fiat offers the 500C with 1.2-liter and 1.4-liter petrol and 1.3-liter diesel engines. Although the Italians have not announced an Abarth model yet, we wouldn't be at all surprised if Fiat adds a sporty variant to the range in the very near future.

Fiat X1/9 Monster Truck with V8 Engine - with Video
We're pretty sure that when Bertone's Marcello Gandini was designing the Fiat X1/9 back in the late 70s it would have never crossed his mind that someone from Tennessee could create a monster out of Fiat's mid-engined baby sportscar. The owner of the car dropped the soulless body of the X1/9 atop a shortened Ford F350 truck frame complete with a 351 V8 engine. The vehicle's seller supports on eBay that his creation is 'a real head turner'. We couldn't agree more - once you see it you turn your head the other way... Video and pictures after the jump.Video 1

Video: Audi Q7 vs Fiat 500 Crash Test from ADAC
Try to imagine what would happen if a large SUV like the Audi Q7 crashed into a small mini car like the Fiat 500. Not sure? Well, The two cars collided head on at an average speed of 56 km/h (around 35mph). According to ADAC, whereas the driver and passengers of the Audi Q7 would have made it out of the crash with minor and non life-threatening injuries, the risk of serious injuries in the Fiat 500 was surprisingly high for both front and rear passengers. However despite what you may think, ADAC’s prime objective wasn’t to show that a large SUV is safer than a minicar but to point out that automakers should take smaller sized vehicles into consideration when they design a large size model. –Video after the jump

2009 Fiat 500 Abarth Promotional Video
Fiat has unleashed the first promotional video of its… white-hot 500 Abarth that is set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March. As you’d expect, the promo film also pays a tribute to the 500 Abarth’s racing forefather that stared in the world of motorsports back in the sixties. Back to the 21st century, the new 500 Abarth is powered by a small but punchy 135 HP 1.4-litre turbocharged engine that delivers 135 HP to the front wheels through a five speed manual gearbox. –Check out the video after the jump
