Protoscar has presented its Lampo at the Geneva Motor Show

In January we have first spoken about Protoscar Lampo. It was a 268 bhp convertible Swiss two-seater with two electric engines, produced by BRUSA, each of them installed in one of the car axles, front and rear. Both of them can produce 440 Nm of torque from 0 to 5,000 rpm. What the car did not have at that time was an official appearence. Now it does.



Lampo is 4.32 m long, 1.87 m wide, 1.20 m tall and has a wheelbase of 2.42 m. It weighs 1,650 kg with its full load and uses 18-inch wheels, with 245/45 R18 tyres. Able to reach 200 km/h of top speed and to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 s, the car is fully powered by electricity. Its batteries take 12 hours to charge in a common house electricity inlet and can make the car run for up to 200 km.

As we have told you before, the car will not be mass-produced, what will surely frustrate all its fans. Especially now, with a face to miss.

Fiat presents the 500C, the cabrio version of 500, ahead of Geneva Motor Show

The convertible version of Fiat 500 has already been presented. With its first official appearance scheduled for the Geneva Motor Show, 500C (C is for Cabrio) is not entirely convertible, but it uses a sort of targa top that keeps the side structure of the car. Anyway, this is certainly no reason for buyers not to be eagering to have their 500C in their garages.



Inspired by the 1957 convertible, 500C keeps the same dimensions of the regular 500 (3.55 m long, 1.65 m wide and 1.49 m tall), as well as the engines (69 bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine, 100 bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine and 75 bhp 1.3-litre Multijet diesel). They are mated to five-speed manual or automated manual (Dualogic) gearboxes. All versions will be offered with the Start&Stop system, which turns the engine off in traffic jams and restart it whenever the car is to move again.
