Fiat celebrated on July 4 the 62nd anniversary of the 500, the Italian masterpiece.

It unveiled the 500 Dolcevita to celebrate the Italian icon.

The convertible version is fitted with a horizontal white-and-blue striped top with embroidered red “500” logo inspired by the deck chairs and beach umbrellas of the Italian Riviera of the sixties.

Available in two configurations, hatchback and convertible, the engine of the 500 Dolcevita special edition is the 100 hp 1.4-liter, paired with the Dualogic automatic. 

The new 500 Dolcevita is expanding the collection of more than 30 special editions launched over the past 12 years.

They all spring from the collaboration of the Fiat Style Center with brands from worlds of fashion, luxury boating, technology and heritage, to name a few.

The Fiat 500 recently made another leap forward with the introduction of important updates, such as the two new top-of-range versions Star and Rockstar.

In short, everything is in place to consolidate the success of a model that last year, in its 11th year of life, experienced its best year-on-year results with almost 194,000 new registrations.

The Fiat 500 Dolcevita special edition is set to arrive in Middle East showrooms in the fall of 2019.
