Fiat marks the Nuova 500’s 60th birthday again

Sixty years ago this month Fiat introduced the 'Nuova' 500. Apparently, it's an anniversary that demands two celebratory special editions: the Sessantesimo was announced in March, now the Anniversario has arrived.

Available in 500 hatchback and 500C convertible guises, the Anniversario has an unashamedly old-fashioned look thanks a set of retro 16” alloy wheels, extra chrome and various vintage-style badges. Riviera Green and Sicilia Orange – two new paint shades exclusive to this variant – complete the effect.

Inside, the specification includes striped fabric upholstery with body-coloured piping, as well as some bespoke embroidered floor mats.

The only engine being offered is a 1.2 litre, four-cylinder petrol unit that produces 68 bhp (51 kW / 69 PS). Prices for the 500 Anniversario start at £14,265, while the 500C Anniversario costs from £16,865.

Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
