Fiat"s going to roll...
Fiat"s going to roll back the years ò€“ literally. The firm will pull the wraps off a new soft-top Fiat 500 at the Geneva Motor Show in March. And in keeping with the city carò€™s retro design, it will have a similar roof mechanism to the original 500ò€™s.
The newcomer will use a full-length fabric roof that slides back to store on top of the parcel shelf. It will retain a glass rear window, plus full-frame doors and the hatchò€™s roofline. The Swiss show will also see the debut of the 500 Abarth SS hot hatch. This has a 1.4-litre turbo engine which delivers 155bhp. Expect these new versions of the 500 to arrive in dealerships by the end of the year.
