Fashion label Diesel has already collaborated on a limited edition version of the hard-top Fiat 500. Now the Fiat 500C has received a makeover to create the 500CbyDiesel.
The convertible is available in a new Midnight Indigo Blue colour - inspired by denim jeans - as well as Crossover Black and Diesel Green. A choice of colours is available for the fabric roof: black, ivory or red.
Along with the unique colours, the fashion label's logo is featured liberally on the exterior and interior of the car. External trim that is usually chrome effect gets a 'burnished metal' finish and there are 16-inch alloy wheels. Based on the Lounge specification version of the 500C, climate control and rear parking sensors are part of the standard equipment.
Engines for the model include the 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel and 1.2- and 1.4-litre petrol power. The MultiJet is the most expensive version at £17,265, while prices start at £14,865 for the 1.2-litre model. Hopefully customers won't be too confused by the prospect of a petrol-powered Fiat 500CbyDiesel!
