1950 Fiat 500 C Panoramica (Zagato)

‘40 - Panoramic Models

At the outbreak of the Second World War, Ugo Zagato abandoned his Milanese home and sought refuge on the shores of Lake Maggiore. Here his desire to experiment with new forms led Zagato to create an original automotive concept, the so-called 'Panoramica', destined to mark the rebirth of his coachworks in the post-war period. Zagato's experiments were oriented towards a search for more spacious and more comfortable interiors for sport cars. The use of a new material, Plexiglas, in place of traditional glass permitted both the novel curvatures and weight savings.
