At the 2004 Geneva Motor ShowFIAT presented Trepiuno concept, example created by the Advanced Design Studio of the FIAT Style Center. A model inspired by the 1957 500 and foreshadowing the shape of the third generation 500. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the concept, the Stellantis Heritage team decided to create a model 500 tribute trepiuno which will be produced, certified and sold by Stellantis Heritage. It will be released in a limited edition (several copies, but the exact number is not specified). There are no pricing details, but interested parties can request information through the official project page.
The 2024 500 Tributo Trepiuno was born as part of the project “Rebooted by the creators” As a basis, 500 Hybrid. This special model features white paint, inspired by the color of the 2004 concept, and taillights with red inserts. Logos with the word FIAT have a blue background. The equipment of this car also includes five sports wheels with double spokes and a special cup.
As for the interior of this limited edition, the front seats have been upholstered in two-tone white, red and brown full-grain leather. The rear ones, however, have genuine leather upholstery in white for the seat and brown-red for the backrest. The Trepiuno XX logo is embroidered on all four seats. The interior panels and dashboard are painted red-brown. FIAT says each example will become a collector’s item, so much so that each car will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Heritage.
Roberto Giolitothe head of Stellantis Heritage commented on this project:
The 500 Tributo Trepiuno is a tribute to a concept that played a key role in the evolution of FIAT’s modern history. And it is to celebrate this very important anniversary that the Heritage team is presenting to the world a limited number of collectibles that bring back on board the modern 500 Hybrid the spontaneity of the design that was the first big bang of the modern 500. A true milestone in more than a century of FIAT history and a symbol of Italian creativity and ingenuity, entered into the collective imagination.
