The old Cinquecento, made from 1957 to 1975, is an example of stylish simplicity, which still has a few lessons for modern cars. Also admired worldwide is Lego, the Danish brand known for its famous building blocks that can be configured in seemingly infinite combinations. At this point, you see where this is heading — someone combined the two iconic products.

Since building a working Fiat 500 out of Lego bricks is close to impossible, the creators of this project, which was posted on Lego’s Ideas section, have made a realistic scale model of the Italian icon.

With all the add-ons included, the kit consists of 1,157 pieces, which can become tricky if you are not organized while building the model car, but more things need to happen before that becomes reality.

The impressive number of parts comes because the design is finished with details like foldable seats, removable luggage rack, sunroof, openable trunk, hood, and doors, printed Fiat logo, and many interior parts that have been custom printed.

Inside, there is even a speedometer and a handbrake lever. That kind of detail is impressive even for Lego fanatics, so you must appreciate the work put into this proposal.

The project was proposed by Lego Ideas user “Saabfan,” which is not at his first submission on the Lego Ideas portal. However, he got help from an Italian named Gabriele Zannotti, who was responsible for the photos of the resulting model, as well as the presentation video you can see below. After watching it, we believe you will be interested in supporting the project.

After all, the Volkswagen Beetle and the Mini Cooper already have their Lego versions, why shouldn’t the Fiat 500 have one? We cannot think of a reason to deny this project. At the moment, there are 358 days to support this project on Lego Ideas, but we would not wait that long. If the proposal is successful, Lego will offer the kit for sale.
