There are cars you never forget. Not because they’re the fastest or the rarest, but because they become part of our lives, and at Garage Italia Customs, we know that well.
The Panda 4x4 is one of them: an icon capable of climbing mountains, tackling snow and dirt roads, and leaving a lasting mark on everyone who’s ever driven one.For a Swiss client, his father’s Panda 4x4 meant exactly that: endless adventures along the trails of the Engadin, summers and winters spent behind the wheel of a simple, indestructible car. Today, that memory takes on a new form with Pandenim, the latest creation by Garage Italia Customs, part of the Icon project, conceived to restore and reinterpret the most iconic models of Italian automotive tradition, both gasoline and electric-powered.

A landscape brought to life on four wheelsThe concept is clear: to bring the colors of the mountain into a Panda 4x4 GIC.
The metallic silver bodywork recalls the Alpine rocks, while two stripes in Serenity Blue and Classic Blue evoke the crisp skies of the valleys. The Trullo-colored wheels with duo-tone hubcaps mirror the hues of the livery, while the bull bar, hood intake, and dedicated elements emphasize the off-road character. On the roof, a tobacco-colored rattan basket handwoven by Bonacina’s craftsmen adds an artisanal touch that connects the project to the excellence of Italian craftsmanship.

A whole different story insideThe interior is a true exercise in style.
Dominating the cabin is denim — chosen not only for its durability, but for what it represents: authentic, timeless, and universal, just like Panda 4x4 by GIC.
Seats and door panels are upholstered in quilted denim in two tones, light and dark, paired with blue Alcantara covering the steering wheel, door pockets, headliner, and rear parcel shelf.
Electric blue seatbelts, a light blue denim gear boot, and matte blue painted dashboard plastics complete the look, creating a perfectly coordinated interior.
Every detail has been tailor-made: engraved door sills, custom nameplates, an Alcantara document holder with embroidered logo, and a bespoke sound system featuring a flat subwoofer hidden beneath the driver’s seat.

Pandenim, a mountain iconPandenim is a tribute to the mountains and to the memories every Panda 4x4 carries with it. A project that reinterprets a timeless icon through a complete restoration and the use of new materials, colors, and exclusive details, all while preserving its original engine and 4x4 drivetrain.
A car born to take on snowy mountain passes and unpaved trails, reborn to bring back the joy of driving, and the thrill of adventure.
