The style for the model built in Via La Thuile 69/71 was by designer Mauro Basso of the Fiat Style Centre then under the direction of architect Armando Cressoni.
We are talking about the model that went on the be called Punto. For Fiat Auto the program was so strategic that the most important Italian style centers such as Italdesign, Pininfarina, Bertone and Idea were also involved.
Many models were built, and in the end it was Giorgetto Giugiaro's proposal that was chosen for production.
