Celebrating the Art of Italian Coachbuilding

Fiat Uno Style

The Fiat Uno Style by Coriasco.

Vehicle Overview

The Fiat Uno Style by Coriasco is a limited-production variant of the Fiat Uno, developed in the mid-1980s as part of Fiat’s broader engagement with personalization and boutique editions of its mass-market platforms. While grounded in the mechanical and structural basis of the standard Uno, the Style variant was distinguished by a set of aesthetic and equipment modifications intended to offer an elevated sense of refinement and exclusivity. Its creation was undertaken in collaboration with Italian design firms and coachbuilders, who were increasingly tasked during this period with producing enhanced editions of base models to satisfy a niche but growing demand for customized utility vehicles. Mechanically, the Uno Style adhered to the standard front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout employed across the Uno series. Engine configurations varied depending on market and year, but most examples were equipped with the familiar FIRE (Fully Integrated Robotized Engine) inline-four units, typically ranging from 999 to 1301 cubic centimeters. No performance enhancements were introduced in this edition; the focus remained on visual distinction and interior comfort. The external design of the Uno Style featured a number of subtle modifications. These included exclusive paint finishes, unique wheel covers or alloy rims, additional trim elements, and specific model badging. Interiors were revised with higher-grade upholstery fabrics, revised door panels, and occasional use of color-contrasting dashboard details. Features such as additional sound insulation, revised seat patterns, and, in select markets, more comprehensive instrumentation contributed to a perception of elevated quality. Production was undertaken in small series and not integrated into Fiat’s primary production lines, resulting in limited documentation and an unclear total number of units manufactured. At least one surviving vehicle, bearing chassis number ZFA146A0001983201, is recorded in private ownership in Emilia-Romagna, having undergone partial restoration to factory specification in 2012. Other extant examples appear sporadically at Italian regional exhibitions of 1980s automotive design, though few remain in unaltered condition. The Fiat Uno Style is emblematic of a period in which personalization and stylistic differentiation were applied to utilitarian platforms, not through mechanical transformation but through subtle aesthetic redefinition. It occupies a marginal yet notable position within the lineage of Italian special-series automobiles, reflecting both economic pragmatism and cultural aspiration.
