Oversized Economy SUVs

The Fiat Panda Monster Truck is a Top Gear Tribute

— December 12, 2012 — Autos
Think twice before you go comparing the Fiat Panda monster truck to the Smart Fortwo monster truck from a few years back. Fiat created the monster Panda to celebrate the car winning Top Gear Magazine's 4X4 SUV of the Year. The pint-sized Panda beat out stiff competition from the likes of Range Rover, Audi and others.

The Fiat Panda monster truck is the equivalent of an automotive Frankenstein monster. The chassis was sourced from a Jeep CJ-7 and the wheels and tires both came from tractors. Hey, at least the body shell came from an actual Fiat Panda. You can check out the Fiat Panda monster truck tearing through the snow in the video below. How much fun do you want to bet the driver in this commercial had?
