Yet another limited edition

Just as we recently reviewed the limited edition of the Fiat 500 Barbie Pink last week, they have gone on to announce that another limited edition of the chubby and bubbly model. This time they target the more ‘macho’ and muscular guys where they now roll out the Fiat 500 by Diesel. Diesel, apart from having to mean a type of fuel used for cars, is also the brand of a fashion apparel. And this is where the name came from.

The Renzo Rosso brand now collaborates with Fiat to design the new limited edition which was put on display at the Bread & Butter Fashion Show in Berlin, Germany. The showcased the ‘Midnight Indigo’ version which typically looks like the usually denim jeans fabric. According to their press release, “the use of a micaceous rather than a metallic shade offers at first glance the feeling of iridescent colour which varies according to the light, very similar to stone washed fabrics,”

The 500 by Diesel comes with the 1.3 Mutlijet II diesel engine as well as exclusive 16 inch alloy wheels, yellow brake calipers and the very indistinguishable ‘Diesel’ logo. Of course, you will also notice its yellow jeans stitching, which is commonly used in jeans. The engine gets you up to 75 horses while you can also opt for the 1.2 or 1.4 versions as well. As with all limited editions, there are only 10,000 units available and so far, 60% of this version had already been booked.
