The New Fiat 500

Following its relaunch this July in Turin, 50 years after the original Fiat 500 was launched, orders for the new model Fiat 500 have been dramatic.

Already 51,000 of the new model Fiat 500 have been ordered in Italy and 6,000 have been ordered in France, with the result that this year’s entire production has already been sold! Fiat now intends to increase the number of the new model being produced in their factory in Poland to ensure availability.

The new Fiat 500 is due to go on sale in the UK early next year. It is set to directly compete with the very popular Mini and is a very cool small car. Buyers will be able to choose from a huge range of choices to customise their new Fiat 500 – Fiat say there are a staggering 500,000 different combinations. Many of the customised ideas came from the public via Fiat’s website – Fiat received 3 and a half million ideas!

Choices available on the exterior range from a chrome finish to 19 original body graphics or a full-length glass roof. Fifteen interior trims will be available, 9 types of wheel trims plus 100 in-car accessories. The interior manages to make retro styling look up-to-date, with bare metal paint and a big speedo in front of the steering wheel. It will also have MP3 and phone connections, a sat-nav system and USB port.

Prices for the new Fiat 500 range will be confirmed nearer to the January 2008 sale date.

The New Fiat 500

Fiat introduced the Nuova Fiat 500, which became an icon of our times, and with which Fiat completed a revival that had begun immediately after the Second World War.

This summer, on 4 July 2007, exactly 50 years later, and once again in Turin, the company will be presenting its new Fiat 500, which will go on sale immediately after the launch. This new car will also mark an important cycle of revival for Fiat Automobiles SpA.

Developed by the Fiat Style Centre and manufactured in Fiat\'s Tychy (Poland) plant, the new 500 is a 3-door model with very compact measurements: 355 cm long, 165 cm wide, 149 cm tall and a wheelbase of 230 cm. Produced with three engine options: a 75 bhp 1.3 16v MultiJet turbodiesel and two petrol engines, a 69 bhp 1.2 8v and a 100 bhp 1.4 16v, with five or six speed manual gearboxes, the new Fiat 500 is designed to be notably entertaining to drive.

The new Fiat 500 is the most up-to-date solution for motorists who \'enjoy\' their car in complete freedom, and appreciate it for day-to-day use, but also wish to drive a vehicle that is entertaining and practical, environmentally-friendly and accessible, but also appealing and full of fun.

The new Fiat 500 will go on sale in the UK early next year.   The platform of the new Fiat 500 will be the same as the new model Ford Ka that is also due to arrive early next year.
