Open-top 500

The latest iteration of the funky Fiat 500 will be a cabriolet version, to debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Paying homage to the open-top 1957 model, the new 500C is exactly the same size as the basic model (3.55 m x 1.65 m x 1.49 m), and uses the same three powerplants: 1.3 diesel with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the two 1.2 and 1.4 litre petrol engines, available with either manual or robotised Dualogic transmission.

The new 500C incorporates the company’s recently announced Start&Stop system.
