Fiat Tipo/Egea with Sporty Body Kit Leaked in Patent Images

A couple of leaked patent images of a Fiat Tipo/Fiat Egea (for Turkish market) with a sporty body kit has emerged online, giving an idea as to what the new sedan would look like if Fiat were to consider a sportier option. Note that Fiat has not confirmed such a variant, so far.

The Fiat Tipo/Fiat Egea is finished in a bright red gloss exterior color and sports a body kit that includes extended front and rear bumpers, deep side skirts, a faux diffuser and dual exhaust tips, which collectively add a sense of aggression to the Tipo’s simple design. There is a black pinstripe running across the shoulder line with “356 S” at the end, while the roof is also finished in black.

Although there are no interior images, if such a model actually came into fruition, expect a sportier leather upholstery with contrast stitching, new instrument dials, aluminum foot pedals, and exclusive floor mats. The standard model has a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, 5 inch UConnect infotaintment display, among other features.

The Fiat Tipo comes with an engine lineup that includes a 90 PS 1.3-liter and 120 PS 1.6-liter Multijet diesel engines, along with a 1.6-liter E-Torq and a 1.4-liter ‘FIRE’ petrol engines. A 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic will serve as its gearbox options.
