Automobile manufacturer Fiat has revisited two of its best-selling models with a pair of limited edition releases.

The company is to make the Panda Special Series 360 and Grande Punto Special Series 360 available through its 162 dealerships until the end of 2007.

The Panda unit includes 14-inch alloy wheels and a split-folding rear seat as standard, while they will receive power from its 1.2-litre engine.

Motorists can pick up the Grande Punto for £8,495 or £9,095 depending on whether they want a three-door or a five-door model.

The vehicle comes with larger alloys (15-inch) and a hands-free media system, with the total worth of the added extras coming to £1,700.

"With such a remarkable level of free standard equipment and attractive on-the-road prices, we believe these new special edition 360 cars will prove very popular," said Andy Rowe, commercial director of Fiat.

Last month, famous artist Tracey Emin decorated a Fiat 500 for charity.

The vehicle sold at a charity auction for more than £40,000.
