Montadora italiana adquire mais papéis e agora acumula 53,5% de participação

A matriz da Fiat anunciou nesta quinta-feira (21) a compra de mais 1,5% dos papéis da norte-americana Chrysler, dando continuidade ao processo de fusão entre as montadoras. De acordo com a fábrica italiana, foram pagos mais US$ 125 milhões ao governo canadense, que detinha pequena participação no grupo formado por Chrysler, Dodge e Jeep.

A Fiat também informou o pagamento de outros US$ 500 milhões ao governo dos Estados Unidos, correspondentes a 6% das ações. Com a concretização do negócio, a fábrica italiana passa a ter 53,5% das ações de Chrysler e já é a majoritária – recentemente o presidente da Fiat, Sergio Marchionne, disse inclusive que as montadoras serão geridas conjuntamente.

Em 2009, no ápice da crise mundial, o governo do presidente Barack Obama “injetou” US$ 12,5 bilhões para salvar a Chrysler da falência – assim como o fez com a General Motors. Com os acordos firmados com a Fiat, o governo norte-americano irá receber de volta US$ 11,2 bilhões – US$ 1,3 bilhão a menos, o que pode ser considerado lucro, já que o capital evitou uma demissão em massa.

The partnership meant Fiat putting cash into Chrysler and would retool a Chrysler plant to produce Fiat models to be sold in the US. Fiat also provided engine and transmission technology that could allow the introduction of new and fuel-efficient small cars. At a time when larger and more global rivals such as Toyota, Volkswagen and Renault-Nissan are competing on the market, Fiat and Chrysler are uniting their efforts to become a viable competitor.

As far as the competitors go, the main rival would be the newly redesigned Ford Ka, with whom the 500 shares basic underpinnings. With so much in common, how is it possible to split the two apart? Well firstly, the new Ford Ka slightly annoyed me by evolving into nothing more than a baby Fiesta, rather than a perfectly serviceable model in its own right. Secondly, the Fiat 500 does everything just a little better than the Ka. It handles better, feels nippier and looks a lot better than the characterless shell the Ka has become. The only downside is that the 500 is slightly more expensive, but remember that you're paying for style here people!

The exterior styling 2012 Fiat 500

Soave has been with the North American Volkswagen team for several years, but Fiat recently hired her to take control of the brand in the United States. She is a first-generation Italian-American with a lot of her family still in Italy. She commented, "This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and very near and dear to my heart." She showed a photo on the large screen, of her as a small girl standing on the hood of a Fiat back in Italy.

The exterior styling is basically unchanged from the past few years of the European model. Like the Mini-Cooper, it is considered "retro" and looks very similar to the little 1957 model that opened the press conference. Changes that are not obvious to the eye are abundant, however. These include a redesigned body structure that meets American regulatory requirements for crashworthiness. The cabin is quieter, in response to US customers demand for quietness. The floor, trunk, and instrument include new sound-deadening materials. There are new body and door seals as well as hydraulic powertrain mounts that help minimize engine vibrations.

Fiat Punto to acquire newly built 4-cylinder engine

Fiat Group's plant in Brazil, formally belonging to Chrysler, will produce engines for the new Fiat Punto. Since the late ‘90s, Tritec Motors, built 1m 4 cylinder 1.6 litre engines for Minis and the Chrysler Neon and PT Cruiser. Since March 2008, the plant has belonged to Fiat Group.

The 538,000 sq/ft facility, located on 321 acres near Curituba, had previously been the focus of media reports, which a Chinese manufacturer wanted to dismantle the factory and take it back to China. Instead, through Fiats investment into Chrysler, the factory has been renovated to the tune of $250m. On three shifts, the plant is aiming to make 40,000 engines by 2014, 40% of which will be exported.

As well as the current 1.6 litre engine, Fiat has developed a new 1.8 litre, producing 130bhp on the E100 ethanol that is supplied throughout Brazil and 128bhp on petrol, both at 5,250 rpm. That engine will be debuting in the Punto Essence 1.8 and Sporting 1.8, linked to a 5 speed Dualogic gearbox.

Both engines are called E.torQ: the E allegedly stands for engineering, energy (dynamism), environment and emotion, and torQ means the twang on low-end power, as much as 80% of maximum torque at just 1,500 rpm. The larger engine replaces the 1.8 litre Opel/Chevrolet engine used since 2001 under the GM-Fiat joint venture, which continued to be supplied after GM and Fiat broke up in 2005.

It goes from 0-60mph in less than 10.5 seconds with a top speed of 114 mph. The 1.8 Essence and 1.8 Sporting models reach 60mph in less than 9.8 seconds and have a top speed of 119 mph, both on ethanol.

Other models likely to be fitted with the new engines include the Linea sedan, which launched in September 2008. Its current 1.9 litre DOHC engine is produced in Argentina but shares all performance specs with the 1.8 litre engine made in Campo Largo.

Top Luxury Cars - The 2009 Fiat Linea

The smoothness and noise level of the car is also quite good. The top speed of the model is estimated to be 168 kmph. The emotion variant model has been equipped with the certain gizmo features. The Blue & Me technology has been incorporated by the Microsoft in the latest generation Linea, which basically helps in synchronizing the Bluetooth enabled laptop as well as the mobile phones.

Hence, the audio system of the car can be connected to such devices, in order to play songs for some entertainment during the long drives. The MY Car 1 software helps in displaying the current status of the fuel economy of the vehicle, FM channel number and the number of days before the next service.

The 1.3 l model of the Fiat Linea comes with a diesel engine whereas the 1.4 l has a petrol engine. From the safety and stability point of view, the vehicle also gets good marks due to its airbags, traction control system and the stability control system. However, the excellent performance, eco friendly nature, low fuel consumption, both manual and automatic transmissions are certain features due to which, the Fiat Linea is liked by most of the folks.
