An open, two-seat speedster based on the design of the Fiat 500, the Simpatico 595 is small, light & above all: FUN. Simpatico 595's body shape and interior, closely based on the original Fiat 500, was designed by Peter Stevens.
Using a stiffened, modified late-model Fiat 126 chassis, with a tuned version of the 126 twin-cylinder 650cc air-cooled engine, the Simpatico 595 is moulded in composites. It weighs 460kg, with a minimum output of 28 bhp giving a 74bhp per ton power-to-weight ratio - the tiny open sports car offers lively performance.
Simpatico 595's body is a composite moulding using a mixture of glas and Kevlar. The seats are also moulded in composite materials and specifically designed for the Simpatico 595. The bonnet and engine cover are leightweight composite versions of original 500 components.
The Simpatico has been designed with the aim of using as many recycled reconditioned components as possible.
