OK! GO FOR IT!

30k, for a Fiat with some stickers. Hmm. Not sure thats is money well spent. No matter how much tuning they have made to the engine or suspension this car will lose value quite smartish when they aren't fashionable anymore I would say.

Where are the Ferrari badges?

I thought the previous article said there were not any?

[Space Invader]

I think it looks great, if I lived in the city and needed a runaround (and had 30k to spare) I'd buy one in a flash.

I can't believe the haters on this website at times, it's more like Prickheads.

What's not to love about a sporty little Fiat getting a few more gg's, 4 pots and a nice paint job?

Thank god that manufacturers are still rolling out special editions like this.

I don't think there are any are there. Its just stickered up to look a little scuderia-esque

love my fiat 500 1.2 lounge less than 10k all in fun with a capital F, spending 30k on a 'fast' one...think they are pulling that! save the money and add just a bit more and you can buy a real Ferrari! (see autocar 360 article this week)

£30k?

Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Oh wait, their serious?

A cool looking little thing but the standard Abarth one is overpriced as it is.

No Fiat 500 should be more than £15k if you ask me...not that anyone did....

I always wonder who buys these sorts of things?

[djt100]

So is this going to be sold as a ferrari or fiat, If it's a ferrari, then is this just the first of many to get the Co2 averages down ???, same way as the aston IQ thingy

[Fetchez la vache]

You can't sing.
You can't dance.
You look... awful.


You'll go a long way

Don't see it as a "car", more the ultimate example of Ferrari branded tat, in the same vein as those ghastly ashtrays etc.

+1 Ferrari theme-park etc

The same people who pay over £30k for specced up Mini Coopers, BMW 1 Series and no doubt the new Audi A1. Have to agree with a few posts here, there are too many haters on here, if you have any petrol in your veins whats not to like about this even if it's not really your cup of tea.

Here you go, a few Fezza'a for 30,000 grand. Probably cheaper insurance as well.
Why would anyone want a Ferrari badged 500 for 30,000 grand?

Agreed. Too many people are looking at this based on their own financial perspective. Fiat obviously think there is a niche market to be tapped. Good luck to them. I could imagine a fair few of the South Ken set buying these.

[charliedaker]

I think its quite cool and rather than a regular special edition with a few stickers it has got unique to this version:

Wheels, paintjob, gearbox, brakes, exhausts and seats.

30k is alot of money though.

[virgil]

The only ferrari badges on it is on the german tuned one, which i have to say looks aweful next to the proper fiat effort.

Good luck to them...if they can get people to shell out 30k for a special edition, then why not. No one is forcing anyone to buy it :-)

[Escort Si-130]

It doesnt seem to have an Ferrari badges on it. Looks like a hot lil car, but even if they are selling it to Ferrari owners and such a limited amount; why such a high price tag.
This is nothing on the level of the stty Aston Cygnet; this has brembo brakes etc. At least Ferrari is part of Fiat unlike IQ.

I`m waiting for the Alonso limited edition that comes with a permanent whine or the Massa edition that pulls over to the left all the time to let other cars past!!!

Will Ferrari ever stop whoring their ass?
