Launched as the Nuova 500, it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car to combat high levels of congestion in Italian cities.

History

To meet the demands of the post-war market which called for economy cars, the Fiat 500 was rear-engined on the pattern of the Volkswagen Beetle. Several car makers followed this now nearly vanished pattern at the time and were quite successful. But only the Fiat 500 was used as the pattern for other car makers in Europe. The firms Neckar of Germany and Steyr-Puch in Austria each made cars that were legally based on the Fiat 500. An economy car is an automobile that is designed for low cost operation. ... This article is about the original Volkswagen Beetle. ... Neckar was a German automobile manufacturer from 1957 to 1971, which produced Fiat vehicles under license in Heilbronn. ... Steyr-Daimler-Puch was a large manufacturing conglomerate based in Steyr, Austria. ...

Despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular vehicle throughout Europe. Besides the two-door coupé, it was also available as the "Giardiniera" station wagon; this variant featured the standard engine laid on its side, the wheelbase lengthened by 10 cm (4 in) which yielded a usable rear seat, a full-length sunroof, and larger brakes from the Fiat 600.

The Fiat 600 (or Seicento) is a city car produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1955 to 1969. ...

Production of the 500 ended in 1975, although its replacement, the Fiat 126, was launched two years earlier. The 126 was never as popular as its predecessor in Italy, but was (and still is) enormously popular in the former Eastern Bloc countries, where it is famed for mechanical durability and economy. {{Infobox Automobile | image = Fiat 126 | name = Fiat 126 | manufacturer = Fiat | production = 1972-2000sfdsfsfsdfsfsdfdsf| class = city car RR | body_style = 2-door saloon | engine = 594 cc Flat-2 652 cc Flat-2 | transmission = | length = 3. ...

Models

There were six main models of Fiat 500 produced by Fiat themselves:

Nuova - (1957-1960)
The original 500, the Nuova has a smaller engine than all newer models, at 479cc and producing just 13 bhp. The original model also features a roof folding all the way back to the rear of the vehicle, like that of a Citroën 2CV rather than the later roof design which only folds half way back along the roof. The Nuova is one of three models featuring "suicide doors". There is also a stylish Sport version of the Nuova, which features a distinctive red stripe and a more powerful engine, bored out to 499.5cc from the original 479cc engine and with a longer stroke, thus producing an impressive 21 bhp from the same original block. hp, see HP (disambiguation) The horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric units of power. ...

D - (1960-1969)
Replacing the original Nuova in 1960, the D looks very similar to the Nuova, but there are two key differences. One is the engine size (the D features an uprated 499cc engine producing 17 bhp as standard - this engine is used right through until the end of the L in 1973) and the other is the roof (the D roof does not fold back as far as the roof on the Nuova). The D also features "suicide doors".

K or Giardiniera - (1960-1977)
The longest running model, this is the estate version of the Fiat 500. The engine is laid under the floor of the boot to create a flat loading surface. The roof on this model also stretches all the way to the rear, not stopping above the driver and front passenger as it does in other models of the same period. Very useful if you need to carry a "tall" load! The K also features "suicide doors" and is the only model to continue to sport this door type in to the 1970s.

F or Berlina - (1965-1972)
The F spans two periods of 500 production, the D and the L. As such, it is the most frequently misidentified model. Between 1965 and 1969 the F carried the same badging as the D and the two models are only distinguishable by their doors - the D has "suicide doors" and the F does not. Between 1969 and 1972 the F was sold alongside the Lusso model as a cheaper "base model" alternative. While the F and L are mechanically very similar, the key differences are the bumpers (the L has an extra chrome nudge bar) and the interior (the F interior is nearly identical to the original 1957 design while the L sports a much more modern look). 1965 (MCMLXV) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1965 calendar). ...

1973 variant

L or Lusso - (1968-1972)
The penultimate model, the main change for the L is a much modernised interior which brought the Fiat 500 up to date. Greater comfort and style were provided in this new model for the new generation.

R or Rinnovata - (1972-1975)
The last incarnation of the Fiat 500, the R, was arguably the best model. It had a larger 594cc engine, giving it a much more sensible power rating of 23 bhp, and contrary to many translations of the FIAT literature, came with a non-synchromesh "crash-box" transmission. This transmission was retained from the earlier 'F' model, unlike the floor-pan which was from either the 'L', or later, the new 126. It was also more comfortable and more simply trimmed and equipped than ever - no gas gauge, just a low fuel warning lamp. Sadly, it was also merely a stop-gap for Fiat prior to the launch of the Fiat 126, and when the new 126 was launched sales of the old Fiat 500 R naturally plummeted. It plodded along for another two years beside the Fiat 126 but in the end Fiat made the only sensible choice - to retire the Fiat 500 R once and for all.

The design of the new 2007 Fiat 500 is based on the 2004 Fiat Trepiuno concept. This car will feature a distinctive retro-look just like the Volkswagen New Beetle and BMW MINI but may well be substantially cheaper than those cars, with a projected starting price possibly about €9000.

MINI is the name of a Cowley, England-based subsidiary of BMW as well as that of a car produced by that subsidiary since April 2001. ...

The new car is based on the Fiat Panda platform. It will initially come with three engine options: a 1.2 4-cylinder petrol, a 1.4 Starjet 4-cylinder 16 valves petrol and a 1.3 Multijet 4-cylinder diesel. These engines produce 69 bhp, 100 bhp and 75 bhp, respectively. The Fiat Panda is a city car from the Italian automotive manufacturer Fiat. ...

Fiat will share the underpinnings of the new 500 with Ford for the next Ford Ka. Production is currently scheduled for mid 2007 and commercial debut in September of 2007. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has revealed the United States will receive the newly designed Fiat 500 due to be launched, funnily enough, on the 4th July. “Sooner or later it is a possibility that the 500 will arrive on the American market,” he said, adding “but it will not happen now, probably after 2010.[1] Ford may mean a number of things: A ford is a river crossing. ...
