Fiat has unveiled the 500 Ron Arad Edition at the Paris Fashion Week, a model that pays tribute to the original 500 in an unusual way.
Going on sale on major European markets from November, the Fiat 500 Ron Arad Edition features the 1957 Fiat 500’s silhouette drawn on the sides of the bodywork, showing how small the classic model was compared to the modern one.
Created in collaboration with the famous Israeli designer, the 500 Ron Arad Edition features a specific design like a garment “sewn” onto the car using “quintessentially Italian craftsmanship.”
The special edition model also features a comprehensive standard equipment including a glass sunroof, chrome-plated accents, black interiors, black Poltrona Frau leather seats with ivory trim, 7-inch TFT instrument panel, Blue&Me, leather steering wheel with radio controls, automatic climate control system, fog lights, 16-inch alloy rims, black metallic paintwork and white mirror caps. Fiat says each model will be delivered directly to the new owner’s home together with an accurate 1:18 scale model in a showcase.
Alongside the 500 Ron Arad Edition, Fiat is also displaying two fashion-inspired showcars in Paris, the 500 Comics and 500 Camouflage. As its name says, the first car pays homage to the pop nature of the iconic 500 with a two-tone livery (pastel ochre yellow/metallic black) with “stitching” that traces out the stylish lines. The 500 Camouflage features a particular grey/green camouflage pattern, highlighted by fluorescent yellow mirror covers.
