Present at the Fiat stand at the Geneva Auto Show these days is a concept created by one of the most famous automotive design names in the world: the 500 Coupe Zagato. The prototype boasts an aggressive styling, while the unique shape of the roof features the characteristic "double hump", the true emblem of Zagato.

Adopting the classic "2+2 seater" formula, the car retains the compact dimensions of the basic model. Under the hood we find the 105 hp TwinAir engine, which has never been used on any of the Group's models yet. The unit delivers 155 Nm of maximum torque at 2,500 rpm and 95 g/km of CO2 emissions.

The model on show at the Swiss venue comes in a Pop Yellow livery, destined to reveal the buyer target. “Designed mainly for a young and dynamic male target, the "500 Coupé Zagato" also accommodates the needs of a female target owing to the painstaking pursuit of stylistic solutions resulting from the most interesting trends on colours and materials,” Fiat says.

Interior highlights include the high-tech fabric teamed with yellow chamois leather and the black natural leather of the surrounds. The sporty appearance can also be found on the steering wheel - also covered in leather with contrasting stitching the same colour as the yellow chamois leather grips - and on the dashboard surround, matching the exterior colour, which was treated in burnished "eco-chrome". Finally, the lining of the roof panel comes with dark high-tech fabric embellished by a transparent single-filament yarn.

The Fiat 500 Coupe Zagato uses on 17" "chrome shadow" wheels with a brand new double spoked shape and synthetic inserts (made of APP-TECH), 205/40 R17 tyres and 4 perforated brake discs.

Also, just like the basic model, the 500 Coupe Zagato also features "my-port", a multimedia port installed on the dashboard allowing the driver to link up to the world via a latest generation smartphone enabled to access the Internet and satellite navigation.
