Italian coach builder, Castagna Milano, have unveiled plans to create a limousine version of the popular car about town, the Fiat 500. The new limousines involve stretching the diminutive Fiat 500 to 5.32 meters, which is 2 meters longer than the average 500 model, meaning there’s more room onboard for exciting features and extra passengers.
A total of three different models of the Fiat 500 limo are being planned, each with their own individualities and key features. There’s the LimoSun, the LimoCity and the LimoCity Presidential.
The Fiat 500 was first introduced in Italy in 1957 as an affordable city car for the masses, however the Italian car maker stopped producing the model in 1975, only for a modern version of the iconic city car to be re launched in 2007.
The new and improved version of the Fiat 500 model which went on sale from 2007 has proved a big hit with customers as the nifty cars are the ideal run-around for city travel and thanks to the new twin-air technology on the latest models, the 500 produces low emissions. Fiat sold 70,000 of the new Fiat 500 models in the car’s first month, with Fiat winning the Car of the Year 2008 award for the revamped 500.
Spurred on by the success of the 500’s comeback, Castagna Milano hope to tap into the love the car buying public have for this iconic car with the launch of a limo version. The LimoSun Fiat 500 Limo has an expansive sunroof, hence the name, which the car designer say can be created with a transparent cover to allow for panoramic views for the passengers. The LimoCity has a circular sofa onboard, while the LimoCity Presidential is the deluxe model which has an onboard bar, entertainment features and electric sliding doors.
