That's right, a point for you.

This car from 1981 was an exercise in panel body manufacturing. Devised by Fiat and realised by I.DE.A with input from an architect Renzo Piano, the VSS (Veicolo Sperimentale a Sottosistemi) was based on Ritmo but featured a no-load bearing body made of 9 plastic panels, mounted on a steel spaceframe. This solution allowed for a greater flexibility in terms of shape, production and assembly as well as reduced weight.

Yes, family resemblance. Panda debuted in 1980 remember, so this is a later car.
