1996 Fiat Bravo Windsurf (Giannini)

The 1996 Turin show will be remembered as the year of the Fiat Bravo and Brava.

Among 25 concept cars debuting at the show, 17 are based on the new Fiat models. Of the 17, ten are 'official' - sponsored by Fiat and displayed as a group - and seven are 'unofficial.'

The 'official' section includes five coupes, two compact minivans, a four-door pick-up, a recreational vehicle and a special taxi.

GIANNINI WIND SURF - The Rome-based tuner Giannini called upon Nicola Crea (formerly I.De.A. Institute and Fiat) to design a Bravo-based road/racer characterized by the huge rear wing which, as the front spoiler, can be regulated by the driver according to the road/track situation.

The prototype was presented by Giannini at the show in Torino in 1996, based on successful models: Bravo and Brava.

Its design was the subject of several studies in the wind tunnel, hence the decision to call it "Windsurfing."

The cx is equal to 0.24, resulting in high stability in both the straight curve that has a maximum speed for cars that are the envy of the kingdom's most popular sport.

Интересной работой фирмы Giannini считается, например, модель Bravo Windsurf, созданная на базе автомобиля Fiat Bravo. Кузов спроектировал ведущий стилист фирмы Giannini Николо Креа, использовав в автомобиле оригинального стиля элементы автомобильной классики 50-60-х годов. По утверждению мастера, примером для него послужил прототип автомобиля Fiat Turbina, спроектированный инженером Данте Джакоза, который поддерживает тесные связи с туринским концерном. Отсюда оригинальная форма решетки радиатора и задний спойлер.
