Compact, aerodynamic, MPV-like: this car, developed with Seat, heralded certain motifs of the future segment C car that would give rise to the new Ibiza.<\/p>\n

With a Cd of just 0.25 and dimensions contained within 4 metres<\/strong>, the Proto C continued the formal reworking of the package<\/em> concept typical of the Proto T and TL prototypes. The blend between hatchback and MPV<\/strong> is very evident from the side view: the bonnet, rear window and roof form one continuous shape.<\/p>\n

Extensive glazed areas<\/strong> ensure plenty of light inside and adopt a solution that often crops up in research prototypes by Giugiaro: the side windows are split into two parts, fixed at the top and sliding at the bottom, to lighten the window mechanism as much as possible.<\/p>\n

The roof<\/strong>, also in<\/strong> glass<\/strong>, is grooved by a longitudinal steel band that is connected to the tailgate and houses a spoiler.
\nAt the front, a conventional bumper was abandoned in favour of a soft nose. The interestingly-designed side mirrors contain two air intakes that make it easier to clean the mirror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
