Special Fiat 500 sold-out in 2 hours

Fiat put on sale the first 500 limited versions of its new 500, and only after 2 hours the model was sold-out. From April 18 to 23 you could go and click on www.fiat500.com and reserve a car. But the website was swamped with thousands of applications from drivers wanting to be first to own the newcomer.

So, if you are not in the ones that have "clicked" on the first two hours you will be left disappointed, while the successful few will be contacted by Fiat by the end of June. The models they will get are badged Opening Edition. Each has been customised by renowned Ital­ian furniture designer Giulio Cappel­lini. They get pearl white bodywork, an exclusive numbered badge on the outside door pillar and a plate inside on which the customer’s name can be engraved. The all-new Fiat is officially unveiled on 4 July.
