The Fiat 1957 open-top homage we all now call the Fiat 500C has opened its doors and allowed a quick peak at its interior prior to its official unveiling at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. Even if all we have are just two photos, they are more than enough to see that, as expected, the design in basically the same as the hard-top version.
Created by the Fiat Styling Center and manufactured at the Tichy plant in Poland, the 500C is of the “open source” design. The Fiat 500C features 4-adult seat habitability and generous luggage space, combined with large loadability when the soft top is fully opened, thanks to a parallelogram hinge device.
If you what to show off the interior, you can use the roof, which is one folding back canvas hood that retains the roofline and arching C-pillar. The roof is powered by a full electric drive and will be available in three colors: ivory, red and black.
These will combine with the two specially conceived body colors available for the car, Perlato Bright Red and Gray Warm, to maintain the retro yet playful look of the 500. The new spoiler is incorporated in the retractable roof, so that it maintains the visibility of the third brake light, no matter the position of the top.
Fiat 500C will be the "leading lady" in the Italian manufacturers range at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The event will also serve as an opportunity to present the new collection of “bespoke” Fiat 500s to personalize one’s own car.
