On the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Fiat Palio in India we take a spin in what was among the first hot hatches in India. And we have a special car, the limited edition Palio S10 which cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar put his signature on. With the 1.6 litre engine this was among the fastest cars on sale back then and, we discover, is still rather fast. This episode of Gone But Not Forgotten also looks into the history of Fiat’s Project 178 World Car and then we drive a car that is even rarer than the S10, the Palio Adventure which was India’s first crossover car. Based on the Weekend estate, this had raised ground clearance and SUV styling cues that made it very unique. We then pay homage to the legendary 1.3-litre Multijet diesel engine in the Palio Stile and wrap up with the fast, stylish and desirable Punto Abarth . Which sadly didn’t sell too well and hastened the demise of Fiat in India.
Do you have any Fiat or Palio memories? Should Fiat make a comeback in India? Drop your thoughts in the comments section, we will love to hear from you
