Every division in the sprawling
Fiat empire had something new to unveil at the
Geneva Motor Show this year. Starting at the top,
Ferrari presented the new
FF.
Maserati had the
GranCabrio Sport,
Alfa Romeo wowed with the
4C Concept,
Lancia debuted the new
Ypsilon and the Fiat brand itself presented two new variations on the 500 theme with the Gucci edition and the stunning
Zagato coupe. Even its transatlantic partners in Auburn Hills were represented. The only one that was left out, really, was the
Abarth sub-brand. Or was it?
The marque's own show stand showcased the existing range (plus a new junior formula racing program), but there was a new Abarth on display across the hall at the
IED booth. Previously, the students at the Istituto Europeo di Design gave us the dramatic
Maserati Chicane concept, and this year they teamed up with Abarth for the Scorp-Ion. Emphasizing the "ion" in the name, the design study calls for an all-electric drivetrain, decentralized to each wheel and leaving extra space for baggage and two seats. The styling, meanwhile, is pure F-Zero from our childhood Super Nintendo days.
Check it out for yourself in our gallery of live shots from the show floor below and find the full details in the press release
after the jump.
