| | Fiat Cinquecento |
 | | Fiat's small car for the 90's, the Cinquecento (or X1/79 as it was known internally during development) was introduced in late 1991, powered by either a 704cc ohv two cylinder (31bhp) mounted horizontally, or a 903cc ohv four cylinder (41bhp) engine. |
 | | Unlike Fiats earlier small cars, only the one bodystyle, a three door, was ever built, all at Tychy in Poland. |
 | | To avoid corrosion problems all the external panels of the Cinquecento were galvanised (see body protection), whilst the design incorporated crumple zones and side impact bars to improve the safety of the occupants in an accident. |
