Yes, we know, this time it’s really a crazy hypothesis. But after all, in the virtual world everything is possible and everything is permitted. No one is going to prison for this. This time we talk about the render of the digital creator Angelo Berardino fresh from publication on LinkedIn called new Fiat Punto by Ferrari. When you think of a Fiat Punto, the first image that comes to mind is that of a compact, practical and everyday utility vehicle. But what would happen if this icon of Italian mobility met the elegance and power of a Ferrari? It is precisely this question that the visionary rendering published on LinkedIn by the digital creative who is no stranger to exploits of this kind tries to answer.
New Fiat Punto by Ferrari: the crazy digital vision, the perfect combination of style and performance
It is a virtual concept, the fruit of the designer’s imagination, which brings together the accessible and familiar character of the Fiat Punto with the sportiness and exclusive aura typical of supercars Maranello. The car which, as we have said, has been renamed the new Fiat Punto by Ferrari, is presented with modern and sophisticated lineswith aesthetic details that immediately recall the world of Ferrari: from the sculpted air intakes to the aggressively designed wheels, up to the classic Prancing Horse logo elegantly integrated into the bodywork.
Berardino’s rendering suggests how an urban car can reinvent itself, combining style and performance. The Italian compact car thus seems transformed into a compact sports car, capable of arousing the classic emotions typical of much more expensive and prestigious models. The interiors, although imaginary, suggest a refined and driving-oriented environment, with materials and finishes inspired by Ferrari lines.
The “New Fiat Punto By Ferrari” clearly remains a digital idea. However, it is a very original way of highlighting what is still, in our opinion, the potential of Italian small cars to capture the imagination of enthusiasts. It is no coincidence how often the articles on the return of a new Fiat Punto are among the most read ever. Many are hoping for the return of the legendary model that was perhaps retired too quickly during 2018.
While waiting to see the next generation of Fiat Punto in the hope that there will actually be a next generation sooner or later, Angelo Berardino’s rendering reminds us that the boundary between small car and sports car can be, at least in the imagination, surprisingly thin. We would like to remind you that at the moment unfortunately the return of a Punto is not foreseen even if many would go to great lengths to see this model again in the range of the Turin company.
In truth, Fiat CEO Olivier Francois has not closed all doors to the return of a Fiat Punto, saying that if in the future the market changes and there is a return to hatchbacks, this solution could once again become viable for Fiat which is currently busy with the imminent launch of two SUVs that we will see in 2026. We are naturally referring to the new Fiat Giga Panda – Grizzly and to new Fiat Fastback already spotted several times on the street and in a very advanced stage of development. Whoever lives will see what will happen in the range of the Turin company.
