A Fiat Panda for €45,000! There's something special about this luxury car dealer's...

In the galaxy FiatSome cult cars have acquired unexpected value over time. And it's an understatement to say that this 2007 Fiat Panda 100 HP, spotted on an Italian classifieds website, is quite surprising: €45,000, more than the price of a new premium car! Hard to believe for a simple city car... at first glance.

A Panda like no other

The model in question is no ordinary Panda. It's a Fiat Panda 100 HP, the sporty version produced between 2006 and 2011, now a legend among Italian youngtimers. Under the hood is a 1.4 16V Fire engine developing 100 hp for just 975 kg, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. A simple but effective cocktail that transforms this sensible city car into an urban bombshell.

Except that here, the Panda offered for sale in Castenedolo by Savio Auto is practically brand new: only 299 km on the odometer, a single owner, always kept in the garage. A rare gem, especially in this condition. The seller describes it as a special "like new" version, i.e. in identical factory condition.

Prepared like a racing girl

But that's not all. This Panda 100 HP has been carefully prepared for the track, without losing its original homologation. Inside, there's a Sparco Alcantara steering wheel, Sparco bucket seats with harnesses, a roll bar, aluminum pedals and even tinted windows.

In terms of design, we're back to the codes that already made the model so attractive: large honeycomb grille, side skirts, special rear diffuser, chrome exhaust and lowered suspension. In short, a true Panda "GTI" like no other.

Why such a high price?

Of course, €45,000 may seem outrageous for a little 2007 Fiat. Especially since the average price of a Panda 100 HP in good condition is around €4,000 to €8,000. But this one ticks all the collector's boxes: virtually zero mileage, mint condition, rare and modified original version with Fiat-approved parts.

At a time when atmospheric sports cars are disappearing, enthusiasts are ready to pay dearly to relive an era when driving pleasure took precedence over raw power.

A future collector's item?

The Panda 100 HP remains an automotive curiosity: a compact, responsive city car, firm on its feet and full of character. Few recent models can boast such sympathy. Produced in small quantities, it is now rare, especially in perfect condition. So, will this €45,000 Panda find a buyer?
