New Fiat 500 special edition by DIESEL
Author: MotorTorque Team
Published: 26 September 2008
Italian clothing company DIESEL will lend its name to a special edition of the Fiat 500, based on the Sport version of Fiat's new supermini.
Apparently transforming the 500 into an 'Urban Survival Vehicle" - basically a city car - just 100 examples will be available across Europe.
For your cash you get plenty of DIESEL logos, new trim on the bumpers and bodywork, exclusive wheels and a choice of three paint colors.
Available engines are the 1.2-litre 69bhp, 1.3-litre Multijet 75bhp with DPF and 1.4-litre 100bhp. Cars quipped with the 100bhp 1.4-litre engine also get yellow brake calipers.
Prices are €15,000 for the "500 by DIESEL" equipped with the 1.2 69bhp and €17,000 for versions with the 1.3 Multijet 75 bhp with DPF or 1.4 16v 100 bhp.
