Fiat 500 Diabolika

Baby Fiat has a go at looking mean

---

If there ever was a candidate for matt black paint and old school wire wheels it probably isn’t a tiny Fiat town car. But this hasn’t stopped StudioTorino creating just that – the Fiat 500 Diabolika.

The car is collaboration with Mycrom and comic book publisher Astorina, and only 50 examples of the special edition will be created. Along with the paint job and wheels the Diabolika gets red stripes on its rear, Brembo brakes and custom leather interior.

The care even gets special Pirelli tyres hand carved with the Diabolika eye motif. The car is expected to appear at the Paris Motor Show and prices are yet to be announced.

Deevlash, your car has arrived.

Love matt black but wire wheels on a modern car - no.

[wrightman90]

Crazy

[eowen]

Diabolical.

[J16GY]

Definitely an acquired taste, not mine personally but can see others it would appeal to, fair play for having the balls to try!

Hand-carved tyre designs on a city car? Bizarre!

[f111lover]

My God that's horrible.

[hill79]

at least the name is quite accurate

Just look at the tyres. Would they actually be any good? Very strange

[cowellsj]

Wire wheels? something not right with the bunch behind this.

The wire wheels should make it appeal to dwarf pimps everywhere.

Something tells me they'll probably charge a bomb for a replacement too.

[bazking69]

Sadly not a joke. Just diabolika...

[Puff Puff]

It's not April 1st in Italy, is it?

[Hoonfest]

I quite like it and the wheels! Wouldn't want to be cleaning and polishing them every week though Not sure about the red paint by the rear light clusters though, tad dodgy.

[Rofly Lollers]

Who'd want to sit on Eddie Izzard's face?

Nuff Said

Matt

[timewatch]

The matt black paint looks good, the rest... doesn't.
