This is the new 500 Cabriolet, a model that promises to have style-conscious buyers reaching for their cheque books when it goes on sale in 2008.
As you can see from our pictures, the Cabriolet faithfully updates the cheeky original, keeping all its trademark styling cues and using a hood that maintains the cute, curvy profile.
The Fiat is a strict two-seater, so there will be room behind the cockpit for the folding roof and a useful luggage area. Up front, expect a metal-coloured dash with a large central speedo and leather trim on top-of-the-range models, while buyers will be able to personalise their interior from the range of different colour and equipment options on offer.
As for engine options, power will come from 1.1-litre and 1.2-litre petrol units, as well as the impressive 1.3-litre Multijet diesel.
However, a new range of motors, including a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol with upwards of 120bhp and a new 1.6-litre turbodiesel, is likely to arrive in 2009. Manual and automatic transmissions will also be available.
