It keeps up with trends but never goes out of fashion. The uniqueness of #fiat 500 is also in this detail. Today, the car is appearing in a new package and it is as authentic and relevant as ever. After the spring #specialedition presented at the previous Geneva Motor Show, the new #fiat #500collezione #specialedition dedicated to autumn is being introduced in a world preview. Once again, the new #specialedition of the #fiat 500 is celebrating the style, design, proverbial iconicity and inimitable personality of the timeless symbol of Italian elegance and creativity, capable of warming up even the chilliest months of the year. The feeling of warmth comes from the combination of colours, materials and details, which will win over anyone who wants to stand out with distinctive flair, loves cool looks and style without compromise. Modern and connected customers, who enjoy the fun, culture and scene offered by cities.

Furthermore, the "New #500collezione, styled by L'Uomo Vogue" advertisement created by Leo Burnett and developed in partnership with the leading international men's fashion magazine for the launch, marks the beginning of a fresh chapter in fashion and the coming together of two brands – #fiat 500 and L'Uomo Vogue – both making history in their respective fields.

This is not the first time that 500 has dabbled in fashion. Its design has inspired artists and fashion designers, who have given it elegant, exclusive and sporty interpretations, creating memorable special editions and proving that such a well-loved, exciting, surprising car can bring together extremely different creative worlds. The many special editions include 500 by Diesel which was the first of a long series and was launched exactly ten years ago, 500C by Gucci in 2011, 500 Riva in 2016 and the 500-60esimo and Anniversario created to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of the iconic #fiat. Through these versions, #fiat 500 has turned traditional market rules on their head, demonstrating how a small car can express itself in multiple languages, all mutually different but united by success. Today, the new #500collezione is taking the place of the model presented in spring. Not unlike the most prestigious fashion houses, the 500 is also presenting two fashion collections to reflect the seasons.

The new palette of seductively elegant hues

Available in two versions, hatchback with standard glass sunroof or exclusive convertible with grey soft top, the new #500collezione sports unique and original liveries, like the striking two-tone Opera Burgundy and Carrara Grey combo called "Brunello" that evokes the glamour of fashion and the colours of autumn. The car is also available with one-colour Opera Burgundy, Carrara Grey, Vesuvio Black paint jobs. The brand-new Cortina Grey is appearing for the first time on this #specialedition. The exterior lines are embellished by a chrome-plated moulding on the bonnet and by a copper-coloured beauty line, which matches the finish of the standard 16-inch alloy wheels. Finally, the elegance of the car is sealed by the cursive, chrome-plated "Collezione" badge which adds a stylish touch on the boot lid and reasserts the continuity of this model with the spring version.

Style, technology and engines

The interiors also hint to the world of fashion in the black and burgundy pinstripe seats with black vinyl top and 500 logo embroidered in burgundy. A copper-coloured line stands out on the dashboard in matching body colour to echo the exterior beauty line. The black mats are distinguished by the "Collezione" logo, also embroidered in burgundy. Style and elegance can be taken everywhere with the special copper colour key cover by Mopar® sporting the "Collezione" badge.

Striking looks meet technology in the new 500 #specialedition which offers parking sensors and rain and dusk sensors as standard equipment to meet the demands of customers who desire comfort, practicality and safety. The equipment is designed to make daily driving easier and more comfortable.

The new #fiat #500collezione also comes with a host of optional features, such as Uconnect 7" HD LIVE radio, with Apple CarPlay integration and Android AutoTM compatibility, integrated navigation with TomTom maps, the largest 7" TFT display in its category and Beats Audio Hi-Fi system for a premium listening experience.

Finally, there are two E6D petrol engines to choose from – the tried and tested 1.2 69 hp engine, also available with dual petrol and LPG feeds, Dualogic robotic gearbox and paddle shift and the 85 hp TwinAir 0.9 cm3 engine.
