I googled it and it looks like the production model didn't make the template :

( I googled for a fiat 600 D ). :-)

I'm guessing that the gorgeous compound curve windshield probably cost more than the entire regular production 600. Now that they're off and running with the new 500, here's a chance for Fiat to make an even bigger splash with a 600: this one.
How about it Sergio?

While this would be great, I think we'd see it from a company such as Tesla first. Mainstream manufacturers don't seem at all interested in pure aero shapes. See how the Prius and Volt try to cover up their streamlining?

Man that's cool. Maybe Japan could make it out of one of their low-volume boutique cars.
