The Fiat 500 is a rear engined, four-seat, small city car that was manufactured and marketed by Fiat Automobiles from 1957 to 1975 over a single generation in two-door saloon and two-door station wagon bodystyles.
Launched as the Nuova (new) 500 in July 1957, as a successor to the 500 Topolino, it was an inexpensive and practical small car. Measuring just 2.97 metres long, and originally powered by a 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 was 24.5 centimetres smaller than Fiat’s 600, launched two years earlier, and is considered one of the first purpose-designed city cars.
