The Villedeuxmille was a concept vehicle presented by the Italian design studio Michelotti at the Turin Motor Show, shown in the same year as IAD's Mini MPV during the last such show of the 1980s. Its name, a playful reference to the year 2000, reflected the idea of a possible city car for the new millennium. Edgardo Michelotti had argued that inner-city traffic required newly conceived vehicles, and the car's sharply sloped roofline recalled the Fiat 600 Multipla, the rear-engined six-seat compact of 1959 to 1967 that measured 354 cm in length on a 220 cm wheelbase.
The Villedeuxmille was styled as a one-volume compact van with five doors and five seats, its rounded surfaces likely intended to reduce aerodynamic drag. Distinctive design elements included a wedge-shaped rising beltline, a triangular cooling air intake integrated into the bumper, and round pop-up headlights. It was based on a Fiat Uno platform stretched by 11 cm and fitted with a widened track, giving it a wheelbase of 247 cm, a track of 138 cm, and overall dimensions of 378 cm length, 160 cm width, and 144 cm height. Power came from a four-cylinder engine ranging from 999 to 1929 cc. The car was shown only as a mock-up, with drawn-on door lines and no interior, built in forty days.
It became the last new design Michelotti's studio displayed at a motor show. Chief designer Tateo Uchida had already left the company earlier that year, and Michelotti ceased automotive design work entirely the following year.
