In Part 1 of this series, Fiat’s design maestro takes CDN on a tour of his favourite designs in the Fiat Heritage Hub in Turin
Fiat recently opened a dedicated space called the Heritage Hub at its historic Mirafiori manufacturing site in Turin where it now keeps examples of its most important – and sometimes highly unusual – cars from a 120-year back catalogue. Every marque under the Fiat Group umbrella is represented (except Maserati which has its own place in Modena), equating to some 250 cars from Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia, spread out in some style and with room to breathe, across the 15,000 sq ft facility. Beyond the rows of classics lined up by brand, there are also mixed-marque selections grouped by theme, from record-breaking prototypes to style and rally thoroughbreds.
Access to motor show and concours coverage, trend and technology reports, design reviews of new and classic concept and production cars, exclusive interviews, regional reports, who’s where, design essays, career resources, design competitions, regular newsletter updates PLUS comprehensive degree show reports from the world’s leading design schools, the CDN archive of sketches, images and articles spanning 20 years of coverage.
An online subscription also gains you access to exclusive designer interviews from our annual Car Design Review yearbook, and access to exclusive interior design reviews from Interior Motives magazine. You can also receive Interior Motives in print through our online + print subscription, or buy individual copies of Interior Motives and Car Design Review.
