In Forza 4, no one can hear you scream...

Yes, no one can hear you scream while playing Forza Motorsport 4 online with your mic on, especially for this car. The car you might remember it while you were an 11-year-old boy. The car that is designed by Chris Bangle and Pininfarina. This is the Fiat Coupe.

It started when Chris Bangle and Pininfarina collide...

This car was originally called the "type 175" but the official name is the CoupĂ© Fiat. It made a world premiere at the 1993 Brussels Motor Show and there's something odd about the design. The exterior design was penned by Chris Bangle (you may remember him for BMW) while the interior design was penned by Pininfarina. Pininfarina, hmmmm.... Think of it as Giugiaro's bigtime rival but still, I love the designs penned by either Giugiaro or Pininfarina. Okay, it was produced from 1993 to 2000, with over 72,000 units made and this one is a modern classic. The model featured on Foza 4 is the one with the 2.0L 20V Turbo engine mounted on it. It comes with a Viscodrive limited slip differential to prevent understeer. The 2.0L 20V Turbo engine produces 220HP of power and 310Nm of torque. This helps the car to go from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and top speed limited of 155mph. Wait, 155mph? Seriously? It's like a German car because why would high-performance German cars are limited to 155mph? It's because if it allow to run free, it would go 200mph so it would need a 200mph tyres, 200mph brakes, 200mph suspension, and that would cost a fortune. I learned that from Clarkson Supercar Showdown.

Jeremy Clarkson's Police Car!

Speaking of Clarkson, this Fiat Coupe is Jeremy Clarkson's car of choice for Top Gear's Police Car Challenge. What he done on the Fiat Coupe is add some Polizia livery with the words "IN JAIL, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM" and some weird-looking contraptions on the rear wheels that James May claims that "it would chop their feet off". For a comic relief, Clarkson's siren is all "animal sounds", which is much more rubbish than the "ice cream truck" jingle from James May's Lexus police car. I wouldn't explain about that because that's too long and instead check the vids from the Top Gear's COP GEAR challenge.



Now you know. But still, I really prefer Clarkson's police car because IT'S THE FILTH. Sorry. Anyway, Clarkson's police car livery is somewhat the trending design for the Fiat Coupe and if you were bringing it on the game of Tag, it's either eat or be eaten for the Fiat Coupe with Clarkson cop car livery and oh, somebody's got wrong with the handling!
