Fiat announced a new limited edition of the 500
Convertible to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original Cinquecento. The
new Fiat 500–60th will be offered in 250 units in the UK and with the first
60 of them individually numbered.
The latest special edition Fiat 500 Convertible
comes finished in a bi-color combo, with a tri-coat white for the body and
pastel ivory for the bonnet and pillars. The fabric roof is grey, the mirror
covers are chrome and there is also a set of special 16-inch alloys with a
white diamond finish. The body also features vintage Fiat logos and a unique
500-60 badge.
The cabin features a bordeaux vinyl dashboard,
retro-inspired ivory leather seats with contrasting piping, an ivory leather
shifter and a retro Fiat logo on the steering wheel among other things.
The 7-inch UConnect infotainment system comes with
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay while the new 500–60th also offers standard
features such as cruise control, automatic climate control and rear parking
sensors among others.
Customers will be offered the choice between three
petrol engines; a 69 hp 1.2-litre and the 0.9-litre TwinAir two-cylinder with
either 85 or 105 hp. The TwinAir versions are also offered with Fiat’s Dualogic
gearbox.
Don’t expect it to be cheap though as Fiat set the
starting price at £ 19,240 (US$ 24k), making it
more expensive than its hot counterpart, the Abarth 595 Trofeo. The first
deliveries are expected to start from 4th of July.
