Basic Information and History
The FIAT Coupé 20V Turbo is a modern icon of Italian engineering and design, penned by Chris Bangle. The model year 2000 represents the final stage of the Coupé’s exclusive production period, offering everything enthusiasts adore: the charismatic five-cylinder turbo engine, distinctive bodywork, and outstanding driving pleasure. Often referred to as the "poor man’s Ferrari," and rightly so – its driving experience, engine sound, and styling evoke associations with far more expensive Italian sports cars.
This particular example was sold new in Sweden and has had only two previous owners. The current mileage is exceptionally low at just 50,624 km, which is extremely rare for this model and year. The car comes with full service history and a complete set of service records and inspection documents.
Model, Engine and Transmission
The 20V Turbo is the most sought-after version of the FIAT Coupé. The five-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo engine delivers not only raw performance but also a distinctive soundtrack unique to its configuration. The 6-speed manual gearbox enhances the sports car feeling, offering precise gear changes and maximum driver control. The combination of engine character, turbo boost, and a close-ratio manual transmission makes this a true driver’s car – a machine that rewards engagement and passion.
Equipment and Options
- Special alloy wheels
- Engine heater
Modifications and Enhancements:
This Coupé is mostly original but features upgraded wheels that enhance its appearance and a practical engine heater for Nordic conditions. The car has been slightly lowered, providing sportier handling without compromising comfort.
Condition
Body and Paint: The paintwork is in very good condition without scratches or major damage. There is a small door ding on the tailgate and a minor mark on the left rear (see pictures). Otherwise, the panels and paint are flawless. Windows, light units, chrome, trim, and badges are without remarks.
Interior: Very fresh and well-preserved. No issues with the headliner, steering wheel, buttons, or controls.
Wheels and Tires: The fitted tires are somewhat worn and may need replacement within one or two seasons. The special wheels give the car a particularly sporty character.
Mechanics: The engine is unmodified, regularly serviced, and in excellent condition. Brakes, gearbox, and drivetrain function without issues. Previous inspection records are free from any notes.
Service History
The car comes with full service history, with all manufacturer intervals completed and documented in the service book. All service receipts and records are included, ensuring reliability and long-term peace of mind.
Ownership History and Use
This is an enthusiast car that has been in the care of its current owner for several years. It has only been driven in summer, always garage-kept, and maintained with trickle charging. Regular service and upkeep have been performed, and the mileage remains exceptionally low at just over 50,000 km.
Summary
A remarkably well-preserved and low-mileage FIAT Coupé 20V Turbo with 6-speed manual – Swedish-sold, fully serviced, and with only two previous owners. An enthusiast’s car that is unmodified, carefully maintained, only summer-driven, and garage-stored. A rare opportunity to acquire the famed “poor man’s Ferrari” with its raw turbo sound, classic Italian lines, and emotional driving experience.

Hi. I was one of highest bidders on last auction, I was offered buying this car directly, but still didn't get the answear why there's airbag failure sign (it's not passenger airbag, you can't turn it in glove compartment). Me and other bidders asked why there's no inspection and there was no answer too. I like the car, I'd be happy to bid, but I expext owner to provide all the information.
Thank you for your interest in the car. Airbag sign needs to be controlled, possibly sensor needs to be replaced. Re inspection: simply have not had time but certain it would pass if airbag sign is fixed. There has nerver been any troubles in earlier inspections and var has been started up/driven shortly annually.
@Seller
Couple of questions about this auction. Followed the previous round and was going to ask:
1. Can you confirm willingness and cost to send this to a USA based buyer? 2. I couldn’t find whether there’s a report about crash history.
Possible export and related costs need to be managed/carried by buyer post payment. No crash report available but car has not had any accidents under earlier or my ownership
Still missing relevant information about fixing the problem arround the airbag. No concrete answer about the inspection. I'm not prepared to put any bid with these open issues. Pitty as it's a nice car! , who shall
Skulle vara intressant om du gick till botten med airbag lampan. Vad det är för fel, hade en Alfa 156, med liknande felindikation, visade sig vara fel på ECU enheten och det blev en kostsam åtgärd.
I've asked this question multiple times, in this and in previous auction....
Hej budgivare! Airbaglampan som lyser är ny för säljaren och noterades först när bilen togs fram för fotografering. Ingenting som registrerats tidigare. Orsak okänd, men det är ett relativt vanligt fel på Fiat Coupé och beror oftast på ett kontaktfel i släpringen i rattstången. Hello Bidders! The airbag light is new to the seller and was noted first when the car was brought out for the photos. Cause unknown, but it is a relatively common problem with Fiat Coupé and most often comes down to a contact error in the slipring in the steering wheel column.

The point is that it's not the first auction of this car. If it's common problem, easy to fix, why wasn't it fixed for weeks?
The seller has owned the car for 22 years. Is has hardly been used in the last 5 year and is therefore being sold off in its current state.
