The Fiat City Taxi was a concept car that Fiat showed at the 1968 Turin Auto Show. It was a heavy modification of the mass-produced Fiat 850, designed by a team led by Pio Manzu with Fiat's internal design center, after an idea of the Fiat designer Dante Giacosa for a car used purely commercially in cramped city streets. It had an asymmetric sliding door on one side, a high roof, a rear bench seat for three and a fold-down jump seat beside the driver. A hydraulic torque converter gave a semi-automatic gearbox with no clutch pedal, and the dashboard held a taxi meter, a radio receiver and a small television. Fiat filed 15 patents with the prototype, but no production run followed and the single prototype is held in FCA's Heritage HUB in Turin.
