In a throwback that’s both chic and charming, Fiat has rolled out the red carpet for the 500 Collezione 1957, a special limited-edition release that’s making waves with just 1,957 units up for grabs. Dubbed as the ultimate collector’s delight, this series is a heartfelt homage to the Fiat 500’s enduring legacy and its army of ardent aficionados.
Starting today, potential buyers in select European nations, including the UK, can get their hands on this slice of automotive history. With over 3.2 million Fiat 500s sold globally since its 2007 revival—2.7 million of those in Europe alone—the 500 has steadfastly held its ground as the continent’s city-car supremo, alongside its sibling, the Fiat Panda.
Celebrating the original 1957 Fiat 500, which captured hearts worldwide and became a symbol of Italian flair and mass motorisation, the Collezione 1957 edition is a time capsule on wheels. Flaunting a “dolce vita” design, the car sports a two-tone Bossa Nova White and Dew Green exterior, complemented by a chic Beige capote, Silver Beauty Line accents, and gleaming 16″ White Diamond alloy wheels.
The retro vibe extends to the interior, with ivory-wrapped seats featuring Frau Leather inserts and a special “One of 1957” embossing, a wooden dashboard, and a numbered plate that cements its status as a collector’s gem.
But the Collezione 1957 is more than just a pretty face. It comes loaded with contemporary features like chrome detailing, LED daytime running lights, fog lights, a 7″ TFT digital display, and the cutting-edge Mopar Connect for enhanced safety and convenience. Under the hood lies a 1.0 Hybrid engine, promising a blend of power and eco-friendliness with its 70 horsepower output.
As the Fiat 500 continues to dominate European streets and steal hearts across nine countries, the Collezione 1957 stands as a testament to the brand’s rich heritage, innovation, and the timeless appeal of Italian design. This limited-edition marvel is not just a car; it’s a journey back in time, a celebration of 67 years of iconic moments, and a tribute to the 500’s role as a beacon of mobility and freedom. Get ready to drive down memory lane with style, grace, and a touch of nostalgia.
