Panda Sporting Special Edition
Voted Auto Express city car of the year for the last two years running, the new Panda just became even more desirable. Adorned with slick lines and a feisty attitude, the Panda Sporting Special Edition is Italian style at its finest. Available in red or black, this machine has been kitted out with a full body kit, slick racing stripes, a smooth interior and a grunty engine to keep heads turning. There are just four hundred models available, so you'll need to be quick if you want to snare one for yourself, a steal at just £9,160 OTR.Exterior
While weaving through the urban jungle alleys, it's the sleek lines and striking style of the Panda Sporting that will have heads turning. The Red or Black body is adorned with twin racing stripes, bold white in colour and stretching from nose to tail bumper. This is further complemented by an aggressive body kit including front and rear bumpers, ground-hugging side skirts and a rear roof mounted spoiler, specially commissioned to make this one of the most desirable machines on the street. A set of 14-inch alloy wheels with low profile tyres, integrated front fog lights and a chrome exhaust complete the car and ensure it will be a crowd-pleaser wherever it goes.Interior
The spirited Panda Sporting carries its sporty style to the core, and the interior is no exception. A striking red and grey trim is complemented by a leather steering wheel and gear knob. The air vents also have special aluminium inserts, while a CD player features as standard. On the floor, 'Sporting' embossed kick plates and carpet mats throughout the car bring the style together seamlessly, with sporty pedals for the driver.Equipment

Engine
A car can't live up to a sporty reputation without some serious grunt under the bonnet, and the Panda Sporting will not disappoint in this department. It’s powered by the nippy 1.3-litre 16-valve MultiJet diesel engine, a smooth quiet engine that can give nippy bursts of power whenever required. The Panda Sporting is as equally suited to the small bursts of speed required for getting around the city as it is our cruising the open highways with 70bhp and 107lb ft of torque. And with the award winning fuel economy of the MultiJet engine, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to keep it going.Insurance Group
Despite the zippy performance of the car, it’s also refreshingly cost effective. A Euro 4 compliant engine makes it incredibly cheap to run, getting 65.7 miles per gallon and ensuring an annual tax bill of just £85. What’s more, the Panda Sporting falls into the second lowest insurance rating (2E).Press
Great things are being said about the Fiat Panda:"To the amazement of all concerned, with only 70 horsepower under its little bonnet, it scuttles away from roundabouts with total authority to disappear over the horizon. And it cruises quickly, easily and surprisingly quietly."
