Fiat give us a better look at new 500C

23rd February 2009

With the Geneva Motor Show only a week away, Fiat has released two more pictures of its new 500C Convertible. And the images give the clearest look yet at the soft-tops interior.

The engines range will remain the same so that means a 1.3-litre Multijet diesel, or a choice of two petrol units with either 68bhp or 99bhp.

Paying homage to the 1957 original, the 500C uses a targa-style retractable soft-top, which has a number of advantages over a more conventional folding roof. The dimensions are identical to the fixed-head version, saving on manufacturing costs – and ensuring it retains the same dart-like handling.

The new fiat will go on sale throughout Europe this spring and full details will follow after its Geneva release.
