While it wasn't a complete cabriolet, the 2009 Fiat 500C was still a pleasant view on the street with its charming design enhanced by the pleasure of driving under the open sky in a so-called, top-cabriolet.
The 500C was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and resembled the image of the original, 1957, Fiat 500. The car was available in the showrooms starting with the 4th of July, the birthday of Fiat. The car was created after extensive researches among the Fiat car communities by the Centro Stile Fiat.
The design started with the normal, closed, version of the 500. It was noticed that the customers loved the profile of the car and that made the designers think to keep it. It also was cheaper to design and produce the car while keeping the side panels and the security arches over the doors and side windows. The 500C was not exactly a convertible, but more of a top-cabriolet vehicle. The short hood, round headlights, and all the other recognizable details were kept.
Inside, the two-tone upholstery and the two-tone dashboard completed the fancy image of the little Fiat 500C. A long list of market-dependent standard and optional features was available: from automatic climate control to the innovative Interscope HiFi System, from the Blue&Me Map portable navigation unit to the smart wind-stop.
The Fiat 500C shared all three of the regular 500 power units: the 75 HP 1.3-liter MultiJet turbodiesel engine combined with a five-speed manual gearbox and the two 69 HP 1.2-liter and 100 HP 1.4-liter gasoline engines, both available with manual or Dualogic robotized gearbox.
