Last month, Fiat introduced a sport-loving version of with the Stilo, the Sporting. Now there is a limited production model in the works. Fans of Michael Schumacher can express their craze for the German driver starting in November in an exclusive Fiat Stilo. Fiat brings a one-off to the market with the Michael Schumacher Edition and offers it in limited numbers. The Michael Schumacher Editions, which were presented during the Paris Auto Show, have been based on the three door Stilo with the 170 pk 2.4 five cylinder equipped petrol or 1.9 MultiJet 16V-dieselmotor with 140 pk. It sits on 17 inch wheels. The exterieor has been dressed with a skirt package, with front and rear skirts, subtle sideskirts and rear spoiler. As finishing touches, 'M. Schumacher' is etched at several places on the exterior. This Stilo provides you with sport-loving priorities. Moreover the purchaser can count on airbags, ESP, bi-zone climate control, Hi-Fi-systeem with cd-player and the a Sky Window. The price has not yet been confirmed.

Sounds nice, but it should be lowered a bit, to show it's more sporty and because it would help to provide more sporty handling.

Well, I think it looks like it sits too high simply because of the camera angle that it was photographed with.

That's just sad. I mean, I'm not a fan of Schumacher but having your name on a FIAT is just downright insulting.

A Michael Schmacher edition Ferrari, maybe. But a Fiat? That's really sad.

yea really, on of the best F1 drivers ever gets a hatchback fiat. i would think it would be more along the lines of a special edition 575 or enzo. i suppose they wouldnt sell nearly as many of those as they would of a low cost car. but still. although schumacher did get his mention in the enzo. now where is that picture... well its a plaque reminding the enzo owner that despite the fact that he's driving a million dollar car, he is no michael schumacher.

p.s. the word "he" in the last sentence is intentional.

It's just another marketing scheme with which Fiat tries to pull itself out of the gutter .

Schumacher's company wheels is a 575 Maranello so that would be cool if they built a Schumacher edition of that, I always thought it wasn't driver orientated enough (kinda like the SLR) but the new GTC one is mint.

No, what Clark posts is actually useful, you

and double post, Clark has been here much longer than you, and you seem to be the only one retarded enough to think that a postcount is directly related to the way they behave on the forum, he doesn't post to get another, he posts to get a point across.

On topic, Fiat owns a large portion of Ferrari, and in turn, they own a large portion of Shumie

Poor bastard probably signed a contract that allowed them to use his name for such a hideous beast. Whatever
