In 2022, for the worldwide debut of the new 500e, Fiat created three very exclusive editions, inspired by the world of fashion and luxury, with the signature of renowned creators such as Armani, Bvlgari, and Kartell. Each of the “one-off” models was developed according to the philosophy of one of the creative houses, to represent the best of Italian design in a modern, practical, and affordable “package”… to the highest bidder!
The three electric models will be auctioned on December 7th, at Art Basel Miami Beach, an international fair taking place in Miami, USA, in an event that can be followed online. Actor and activist Leonardo DiCaprio, ambassador of Fiat, will be responsible for naming the environmental organizations that will receive the funds raised from the sale of the three exclusive editions.
500 Giorgio Armani
This one-off, created in partnership with Armani’s style office, features embossed details on the bodywork in a green-gray color, to recreate a unique “silk effect.” The base paint of the bodywork is matte, and the Armani emblem appears prominently on the special wheels. Inside, it’s the combination of materials on the dashboard, with elements of fine wood and aluminum, that makes all the difference.
Fiat B.500 Mai Troppo
Designed by Bvlgari, the famous jewelry house from Rome, this model stands out for its vibrant saffron paint, an emblematic color for Bvlgari, enriched with gold powder recovered from remnants of the brand’s articles. The side emblem is made of polished gold, with the B.500 logo decorated with diamonds.
Fiat 500 Kartell
With over 70 years of history, Kartell is another iconic figure in Italian design, one of the most recognized companies in the furniture design segment. In the bodywork of this 500e, they combined materials as distinct as metal, glass, plastic, or various fabrics, always with the emblematic Kartell Blue color.
All the creative process of the exclusive interpretations of the New Fiat 500 by Giorgio Armani, Bvlgari, and Kartell was recorded in the short documentary titled “One Shot”:
