The FSO (Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych - Passenger Car Factory) Polonez was a Polish motor vehicle that was produced from 1978 to 2002
The car's name comes from the Polish dance, polonaise
The Polonez was a rebodied Polski Fiat 125p that Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) built under license from Fiat
The internal components, including modernized 1.3/1.5 Litre engines, (pistons and carburetor), the chassis, and other mechanicals, were from the Polski Fiat 125p, but the body was an entirely new hatchback body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro
The car was meant to be equipped with Fiat's 2.0 Litre DOHC engines in the 1980s, but financial problems at the time made the purchase of a license from Fiat impossible
This is also why the 125p was produced simultaneously with the Polonez for more than a decade
Moreover, mechanical modernisation only took place when it could be applied to both cars
This situation finally changed after the production of the 125p ended in 1991
An advantage of Polonez is its passive safety
In 1978, it was the only East European car built to pass U.S. crash tests
Crash tests were performed in 1994 according to EU safety regulations so that the Polonez could be exported worldwide
They proved the car to be very safe
