.500 especial
The Fiat 500 is an A-segment city car manufactured and marketed by the Fiat subdivision of Stellantis since 2007. It is available in hatchback coupé and fixed-profile convertible body styles, over a single generation — with an intermediate facelift in Europe with model year 2016. The 500 is internally designated as the Type 312 by FCA.

The 500 has won more than 40 major awards, including "Car of the Year" (2007) by the British magazine Car, as well as the "World's Most Beautiful Automobile".
