Why it matters
The Downtown is a 1993 concept for a compact three-seat electric city car, styled at Fiat's Centro Stile by Chris Bangle and Roberto Giolito. Its cabin sits centrally over the bonnet, which mirrors the central driving position and gives the driver a wide view. It was first shown at the 1993 Geneva Motor Show and is recorded as a concept, not a production car.
