Fiat 500 by Diesel - Haute ?Carture?
A BRILLIANT collaboration between Fiat?s Style Centre in Turin and fashion label Diesel has spawned 2011?s ?must-have? designer accessory: the Fiat 500 by Diesel, the only car that takes fashion from the runway to the freeway.
The Cinquecento, with its retrochic looks, endless array of customisation options and Italian style, was the perfect mascot to receive a Diesel Designer ?make-over?. Based on a Fiat 500 in sport trim, the 500 by Diesel is available in two versions (hatch and cabriolet) and these come in two unique metallic hues - Diesel Green or Blue Midnight Indigo.
Some of the other unique exterior features include special 16? alloy wheels with the Diesel logo, burnished metal finish front and rear bumper inserts, door mirrors, side mouldings, boot finisher, door handles and side pillar mouldings, Diesel logo on rear finisher, and side mouldings and special door mirror fairings.
Moving indoors, the following are highlights: Blue&Me ? Bluetooth hands-free system, voice recognition, steering wheel-mounted controls and USB port; My Port, which allows for seamless dashboard integration with a Tom-Tom navigation system; Hi-Fi ?Interscope sound system? (4 speakers, 2 tweeters, amplifier and subwoofer); Bespoke upholstery by Diesel in denim fabric with yellow stitching; and, as with other 500s in sport trim, the 500 by Diesel also comes with automatic climate control and pollen filter as well as the full complement of passive and active safety systems including seven airbags, ESP (stability control), traction control, Hill holder and ABS with EBD.
All 500s come with a 5-star EuroNCAP rating. On the technical front, the 500 by Diesel (hatch and cabriolet) is powered by Fiat?s feisty 74 kW 1.4-litre 16v Euro 5-ready engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
Maximum torque is rated at 131 Nm at 4250 rpm. This gives the latest designer Cinquecentos a good turn of speed: the 0-100km/h sprint is dispatched in a mere 10,6 seconds while a highly illegal maximum velocity of 181 km/h is more than achievable.
Fuel consumption, however, is not compromised ? you?re looking at 8,2 l/100km in the urban cycle; 5,2 l/100km in the extra-urban cycle and a very credible 6,3 l/100km in the combined cycle. Emissions are 149g/km.
