" Sustaining the momentum for the much-anticipated U.S. debut of the Fiat 500, the automotive manufacturer collaborated with famed Italian designer Zagato to create the 500 Coup\u00E9 Zagato for the 2011 Geneva Auto Show. Located outside of Milan, Italy, Zagato was founded by Ugo Zagato at the end of World War I and rose to success by applying aircraft construction methods to automobile production. The company&amp;#039;s resulting machines were lightweight and aerodynamic designs, and proved formidable on the racetrack.   Considering Zagato&amp;#039;s pedigree, it should come to no surprise that this isn&amp;#039;t the design house&amp;#039;s first time tweaking the Fiat 500; back in the &amp;#039;50s, Zagato started to revamp the rear-engine economy car for a more sporty flair. For its recent Geneva effort, Zagato refrained from a full makeover, instead massaging the current design of the Fiat to give every inch of the small 2+2 hatch (139.7 inches long, 64.1 in. wide, 58.7 in. tall, with a 90.6-in. wheelbase) a larger and more aggressive presence.    Humps and Two Bumps   The exterior of the Zagato features chrome accents and dual spoke 17-in. wheels with synthetic inserts developed by App Tech, an Italian wheel company known for its forged aluminum designs. Tires are sized at 205/40R-17 and conceal the Fiat&amp;#039;s four disc brakes. Most notable after the retina-searing color (Fiat calls it Pop Yellow) are the double humps on the roof, a Zagato signature element that creates additional head room with style.   Underneath the double bubbles, look for youthful, borderline sporty styling in the Zagato Concept&amp;#039;s cabin. Traditional diamond-pleat seats feature yellow chamois leather and black natural leather. The steering wheel and dash also match the overall color scheme, with bits of &amp;quot;eco-chrome&amp;quot; making their way into the latter. My-port, Fiat&amp;#039;s multimedia system, allows the driver to access the web and satellite navigation via a data-enabled cell phone. The headliner contrasts with the rest of the interior\u2014it&amp;#039;s a dark fabric sewn with a transparent single-filament yarn. Safe to say, a brisk hand wash is in order before cabin ingress.    TwinAir Engine: Tiny, Turbocharged and Talented   Whereas the U.S.-bound Fiat 500 will arrive with a larger 1.4-liter MultiAir 4-cylinder engine rated at 101 bhp and 97 lb.-ft. of torque, the 500 Coup\u00E9 Zagato Concept will see the introduction of the so-called TwinAir powerplant. Capable of 105 bhp at 5500 rpm and 114 lb.-ft. of torque at 2500 rpm, the turbocharged TwinAir engine is good for 124 horsepower per liter, a lofty figure which by our calculations marks its displacement at a diminutive 847 cc. Not only is the concept mighty for its size, it leads its class in CO2 emissions, emitting only 95 g/km.   While the odds of the Fiat 500 Coup\u00E9 Zagato Concept making its way to our shores are slim to none, let&amp;#039;s hope the tiny (yet mighty) engine makes the cut.
