The 500S Essenza with luxurious leather seats


Among the Fiat "500" models, the sporty "500S," which allows manual operation of its 875cc inline-2 twin-cylinder turbo engine, will be available as the special edition "Essenza." The Essenza features a dedicated grey exterior color and is appointed with leather seats from the Italian furniture brand "Poltrona Frau." The seats are black with red accents, further enhancing the sporty character of the 500S.


The limited edition 500S Essenza is priced at 2,462,400 yen, approximately 200,000 yen more than the base model. Limited to 100 units nationwide, sales will commence on Saturday, March 14th.

A flower that expresses gratitude to women


In contrast to the masculine and sporty 500S Essenza, the open-top "500C" will feature the "500C Mimoza," a special limited edition designed to evoke a sense of glamour for women.

March 8th is "Festa della Donna" in Italy, a day to express gratitude to women, and it is customary for men to give mimosa flowers to women—family, partners, friends, and colleagues. This special edition is a limited model inspired by this Women's Day, featuring mimosa flower stickers on the exterior and a mimosa fragrance.

The base vehicle is the "500C TwinAir Lounge" equipped with an 875cc inline-2 twin-cylinder turbo engine. Two body colors are available: Bossa Nova White and Paso Doble Red.

Despite being a special edition, the 500C Mimoza is priced at 2,505,600 yen, which is approximately 250,000 yen less than the base model. Limited to 40 units nationwide, sales will begin on Sunday, March 8th, Women's Day.
