Currently reading: Fiat Panda 100hp successor likely
A 105bhp, TwinAir-equipped Panda could be a replacement for the much-missed Panda 100hp

The third-generation Fiat Panda could spawn a TwinAir-powered successor to the cult Panda 100hp, Fiat engineering sources have revealed.

A 105bhp version of the 0.9-litre two-cylinder TwinAir engine will soon be launched in the Fiat 500L, and sources have revealed the engine could make it into the new Panda line-up to create a warm hatch version.

Should the Panda get the 105bhp TwinAir, sources say there is scope for tweaking the suspension for a more sporting drive. A series of sporty exterior and interior changes are also expected to be included in the new model.

With the Twin Air fitted this

With the Twin Air fitted this should be an even more charasmatic than it's predecessor.
