Evocative of "freedom and emotion", this original 'cabriolet' pays homage to the open-top 1957 model whilst offering leading-edge solutions for mechanical units, powerplants and interior comfort. All this in authentic Fiat tradition giving access to higher segment engineering and technology hitherto unheard of.

2009 Fiat 500C: A worldwide preview of the Fiat 500C presentation took place at the 2009 Geneva Motorshow, before its launch throughout Europe.

Providing different features, all three engine types are generously sized, have a brilliant temperament and offer high performance based on sophisticated technology.
