You can find a dutch press article about it here: (I couldn't find anything in english)
http://www.auto55.be/content/page.php?id=5783

The car is supposed to be a coöperation of Fiat and Ducati. It's powered by a 695cc Ducati engine and there will only be 695 made of it. You'll only be able to buy one of the internet, not via the usual dealer network.

What I was wondering, does anybody know the specs?

^^ haha.. yeah but they got a 0.7 liter!

I wonder if it will atleast sound as good as Ducati's bikes..

Everlasting · 04-09-2006, 05:26 PM

the reason for the naming apparently is out of the fact that it will get an engine out of a Ducati Monster

LOL i came in here waiting to see a monster truck or a huge offroader at least.. hehehe

but yeah the title can be deceiving

LOL ... it looks pretty funky tho

Who on earth decided to name a car a panda anyway?

Monster and Panda interesting combination. I wonder how it will go because of low torque.

Utterly pointless

Indeed that's what I was wondering myself.

It will probably accelerate pretty good because of the hp's.

It would have been cool if they made a stripped out lightweigt version with a 1200cc BMW bike engine.

And the name of the car is indeed pretty unfortunate

If a lady in the bar ask what car you've got and you say it's a Monster she might consider coming home with you. But when you're walking to you're car and she sees it's a Fiat Panda... don't think Bratt Pitt would get away with that

Ducati has more powerfull enfines why they used only 695cc version; 992cc 84 hp and 84 nm version would be better.

Probably because the larger engines would be too expensive to be wasted on a cheap-ass Panda.

It is a monster,
because it is awful,
look at it!!
it is annoying and disgusting...
Another bad car produced in Poland

(basic version)

The Monster Panda 4x4 is powered by Fiat's 70 hp 1.3-liter turbodiesel, good for 0-100 kph in a pavement-ripping 18 seconds (somewhat slower than the bike).

hımmm. This monster has no monster engine
