We live in the moment
and that moment is a
gift. It is this very notion
that motivates us to
build great cars. It is this
very same notion that
motivates you to drive a
great car.

The icon. The legend. The FIAT 500.
The Cinquecento was a catalyst for profound change. It encouraged exploration. It was
abeacon of hope for millions; something the people of Italy could truly love. Pure.
Simple. It provided mobility — but more importantly, it inspired personal freedom. No
doubt, it was the right car for the times.

“The hardest part about designing a car is keeping it simple.Through simple, functional, responsible
engineering comes beauty.The 500 and 500c are everything you need and nothing you don’t.We
didn’t start by ‘adding;’ we started by stripping away what was not needed.The 500 and 500c are
both beautiful expressions of simple, functional Italian design.”
— Roberto Giolito, FIAT Head of Design

The concept was to recreate the perfect
suit for this new FIAT®chassis, while
preserving the stylish interior and sleek
contours. Reengineered for America, the
2012 FIAT 500 is as simple, beautiful and
iconic as the original. And it’s poised to be
the next global icon from Italy.

FIAT®has once again embraced and
enhanced the landscape of North
America, seducing the hearts and
minds of American drivers. Every
detail of the FIAT 500 and 500
Cabrio has been thoughtfully and
beautifully designed for American
sensibilities. Its ability to be
personalized feeds the thirst for
self-expression and celebrates what
it means to be an individual in a
world of individuals.

The 1.4L 16v MultiAir®Engine has
electrohydraulic valves for more
dynamic and direct control of air and
combustion. This improves power by
10% and torque by 15%, cylinder-by-
cylinder, stroke-by-stroke. It also helps
reduce pollutant emissions with an
added 10% fuel economy improvement
over conventional naturally-aspirated
engines. The award-winning 1.4L 16v
MultiAir Engine is unique only to the
FIAT®500 delivering 101 horsepower
at 6,500 rpm and 98 lb-ft of torque at
4,000 rpm with 30 mpg city, 38 mpg
hwy(1).Non-technologically speaking, it’s
amazing.

These new headlamps deliver a more focused view of the street
at night and are like jewels inset in the front of the FIAT®500.The
“curve around” styling helps other drivers to see you on winding
roads and busy city streets.
