With the 500, for the first time in the car sector, many car-lovers from all over the world have been directly involved and asked to express, through the 500 wants you platform, their hopes for the shapes and contents of the new 500 model.
By means of activities and initiatives proposed by the 500 wants you platform, contributions and suggestions have been collected, welcomed with enthusiasm by Centro Stile Fiat (Fiat style centre) designers and Fiat Automobiles engineers and subsequently transformed into stylistic solutions and real equipment that are as close as possible to the expectations of the car-lovers.
And so, more than 500,000 customisations are available on the 500, choice of colour, badges, stickers, vintage theme and everything that makes the 500 so special.
Originality, a smooth, rounded profile and a nice, carefree style: that's the 500.
In addition, there are several references to the 1957 Cinquino: combination of circular, upper headlights with the lower ones and the “whiskers” and logo unit on the front; the shaped, chrome handle which brings back the theme of the number plate light holder in the shape of a bicycle seat at the rear; vintage style steering wheel and gear levers.
On the sides, distinctly lit thanks to the extensive glazed surface, the robustness of the 500 is emphasised by the waist line, slightly inclined on the front.
Hub caps bearing the 500 logo and a greatly reduced bonnet size make up the exterior style.
A healthy choice of twelve bodywork colours from which to pick your favourite, all colour coordinated with the dashboard and the extensive range of interior fabrics and leathers, including refined upholstery in Frau Leather.
