Here’s a hint; unlike the original Fiat Cinquecento produced from 1957 to 1975, which sported a two-cylinder, air-cooled engine positioned at the rear end of the car turning the wheels right below it, its spiritual successor, the Nuova 500 of the 21st century, features a traditional layout with the engine mounted up front driving the front wheels.
Well, as the crew from Jalopnik eloquently put it on their posting, “someone is living in the past”…
Come to think of it, too bad we don’t have some video footage of the 500 fitted with the snow chains on the rear wheels trying to tackle a slippery/icy slope…
