The electric Cinquecento
The only one built as a finished car.
We believe we are the only workshop in the world building the electric Fiat 500 as a complete, ready-to-drive car: complied for your country, registered and delivered. Not a kit. Not a project. A car you turn on and drive.
- Automatic. There is no gearbox and no clutch, so anybody who can drive can drive it.
- Up to 150 km (93 miles) on a charge. Charges at home, in about 6 hours.
- The shell, the glass, the chrome and the unassisted steering stay exactly as they were.
- Air conditioning and Apple CarPlay, if you want them.

Prefer petrol? Good.

Questions
Questions people ask before they order.
Lightly refurbished or complete rebuild: which should I choose?
If you want a good, honest Cinquecento to drive and enjoy, the refurbished car. If you want the car finished to the highest standard, in your colour, with a 12-month warranty, the complete rebuild. Both are genuine 1960s cars from the same workshop.
Petrol or electric?
Petrol is the car as it was: the original two-cylinder engine and the gearbox, restored. Electric is automatic, quiet, charges at home and needs no gearbox skills at all. Most people who write to us ask about the electric car. The traditionalists ask about petrol. We are happy either way.
What does the price include?
The car, built to your specification, in your colour. Freight, duties and local compliance are quoted separately for your country, because they differ everywhere. Cars are priced and invoiced in euro.
How does the deposit work?
€1,000 reserves a build slot. It is not refundable. The balance and the payment timing are set out in your quote.
Is finance available?
Yes. Tell us where you live when you enquire and we will explain what is available to you.
How long does it take?
About six months for a build. We confirm the timing when you reserve your slot.
Where do you deliver?
Australia, the United States, the Middle East and across Europe. We assist with shipping, compliance and registration. The rules for a 1960s car differ by country, so tell us where you live and we will tell you exactly what applies before you commit to anything.
Is it a genuine Fiat 500?
Yes. Every car starts as a genuine Fiat 500 F or L built between 1965 and 1973. The shell, glass, trim, wheels, chrome and the unassisted steering are kept.
How far does the electric car go?
Up to 150 km (93 miles) with the largest battery, with a choice of battery sizes. It charges at home in about 6 hours, and the top speed is 110 km/h (68 mph).
Can I choose the colour?
Yes. A complete rebuild is painted in the colour you choose. A lightly refurbished car keeps its original paint, so tell us the colour you want and we find a car in it.
What warranty comes with the car?
3 months on a lightly refurbished car, and 12 months on a complete rebuild.
