The FIAT 500 has always been a celebration of its iconic predecessor, adopting not only the look but also the character and verve of the 1957 original. But now FIAT is taking that homage to a new level with the new FIAT 500 VINTAGE ’57 which is set to debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show (March 3).

The FIAT 500 has always been a celebration of its iconic predecessor, adopting not only the
look but also the character and verve of the 1957 original. But now FIAT is taking that
homage to a new level with the new FIAT 500 VINTAGE ’57 which is set to debut at the
2015 Geneva Motor Show (March 3).
The VINTAGE ’57 is a contemporary interpretation of the stylistic features that gave the
original its distinctive identity. Finished in pastel colours with a contrasting white roof,
spoiler, antenna and mirror covers, the most distinctive element of the new FIAT 500
VINTAGE ’57 is its 16-inch vintage alloy wheels, a nod to those used on the original 500
but updated and refined for contemporary tastes. The wheel centres feature the historical
FIAT logos, a subtle touch that’s repeated on the front and rear badges.

The retro theme of the FIAT 500 VINTAGE ’57 continues inside with a white dashboard;
historic FIAT logo in the steering wheel boss and tan-coloured Poltrona Frau leather seats
with ivory leather 'half-moon' inserts and "500" embroidery in tan.
There’s nothing retrospective about the FIAT 500 VINTAGE ’57’s standard technologies
though: air conditioning; Blue&Me™; seven airbags, Start&Stop system, ESP with ASR/MSR,
HBA and Hill Holder. Available in the UK in April, the new FIAT 500 VINTAGE ’57 will be
available with the petrol-powered 69hp 1.2-litre as well as the award-winning 0.9 TwinAir
85hp turbo petrol engine. Prices for the FIAT 500 VINTAGE ’57 will start from £12,545
when it goes on sale in April.
Produced since 2007 in Poland and since 2010 in Toluca (Mexico), the FIAT 500 is now
sold in more than 100 countries world-wide, spearheading the brand’s return to North
America. More than 1.5 million have been produced.
Other FIAT vehicles debuting at the Geneva Motor Show include the FIAT 500X with
DDCT, a six-speed, dual dry-clutch transmission paired with the front-wheel drive 1.4
MultiAir II 140 HP engine that combines the responsiveness and driving satisfaction of a
manual with the ease-of-use and economy of a traditional automatic transmission. Also on
display for the first time is the new FIAT Doblò Trekking with standard "Traction+" system
for improved traction control on slippery surfaces and light off-road conditions. New side
mouldings, model-specific diamond-cut 16-inch alloy wheels, rugged new front and rear
bumper inserts as well as a raised chassis and functional sump guard set the Doblò Trekking
apart from its siblings.
