Fiat 500C

There was a long wait for this vehicle, but it has just ended. Fiat has been working on the convertible 500 for quite a while. The name of the new version is 500C (for Cabrio) and the small convertible follows an unusual recipe, with a targa style soft top that keeps the side structure of the roof. It is inspired by the 1957 cabrio version of 500 and, afterall, it looks quite nice.

Besides the retractable top, this new 500C is very much similar to the regular vehicle. Dimensions and engines are just the same. The only difference is having the Start&Stop system fitted to all 500C. This equipment saves fuel by turning off the engine whenever the car has to be in a standstill position, such as in traffic jams.
