Fiat 500 Ron Arad Edition launched

Never heard of Ron Arad? Well apparently he's a London-based artist, architect and industrial designer. One of his latest projects has been to co-create a Fiat 500 special edition.

Also part of the standard specification are a glass sunroof, 16” alloy wheels and a 68 bhp (51 kW / 69 PS) 1.2 litre petrol engine. The interior meanwhile boasts black Poltrona Frau leather upholstery, ivory trim and automatic climate control.

The 500 Ron Arad Edition is available now but only 200 units have been allocated to the UK. Here its on the road price is £16,000 and, as a little bonus, each customer will get a 1:18 scale replica of their car.

Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
