In-game description[]

Car Index (GT7)[]

The Fiat 500, introduced in 1957, was a compact car inheriting the will of the pre-war Topolino. But even more importantly, it was a new car that pursued the very minimum of a functional passenger car.

Certainly, there are many differences between the Toppling and the Fiat 500. Compared with the two-seat Topolino, the Fiat 500, though cramped, had seats for four adults. Furthermore, while the Topolino had a front-engine/rear-drive layout, the Fiat 500, with a full monocoque construction body, had a rear-engine/rear-drive layout.

The Fiat 500's engine was a 479 cc air-cooled two-cylinder OHV capable of 14.7 BHP, and it had a top speed of 55.9 mph. While a front-half, canvas-top roof was standard, this was equipped mainly for noise control and ventilation.

Even though it was compact, it was highly practical. Moreover the inexpensive Fiat 500, with its popularity centered in Italy, introduced many tuning models over the years. Among these, the model tuned by Carlo Abarth, known then as the god of engine tuning, was unrivalled in the compact class at the time, and was very competitive in motorsports.

Naturally, the Fiat 500 itself evolved. In 1959 the sport model debuted, with the engine displacement increased to 499 cc and the maximum power output raised to 17.7 BHP. This sports engine was the standard spec in the 500D, introduced in 1961. Furthermore, the front-opening doors, due to safety reasons, were replaced with rear-opening ones in the 1965 500F.

As the pioneer of the 'minimum car', or 'mini', this car is still popular to this day.

Used Cars (GT7)[]

The Fiat 500 F is one of the most recognizable Italian cars in history. It has a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, and hauls an air-cooled two-cylinder engine. In this respect, it resembles no less a car than the Porsche 911! This later model features conventional front-hinged doors. Despite having debuted half a century ago, the legacy of this iconic car lives on in the modern Fiat 500.

This rare beauty is an icon of Italian car manufacturing. The Fiat 500 made its debut in 1957. It is considered one of legendary Fiat car designer Dante Giacosa's most enduring masterpieces. Giacosa contributed to the fabulous engineering legacy of Fiat for many, many years. At under 3 m in length, it's a tight ride, but can snugly fit four people thanks to a space saving rear-engine. Celebrated to this day for its undeniable charm... We can see precisely where the modern Fiat 500 got its good looks!

Along with the German Beetle and the British Mini, This Italian Fiat 500... Is one of the most iconic European small cars in history. It may be the smallest of its rivals... But it can seat four passengers, and its feisty little motor is capable of thrilling speeds. Its splendid exterior is owing to the handiwork of famed Fiat engineer Dante Giacosa... As is its underlying design. Giacosa created many great cars for Fiat, and I'm sure you'll come across them in time!

Don't let this pert little package fool you. It showcases a high level of product design. In fact, it's so good it's timeless. No wonder the current Cinquecento borrows from it. Dante Giacosa, Fiat's legendary engineer... Rose to prominence in 1955 when he created the 600, Italy's answer to the post-war compact car. He then took on the challenge of... Creating an even better minimally-packaged car. The result was a rear-engine, super-compact Cinquecento. Thanks to the intentionally flared wheel arches, the car appears to be in constant motion. The yawning bonnet lid is also quite appealing, not to mention functional.

Trivia[]

  • In GT Sport's Livery Editor, its rear number plate is treated as part of the Rear Wing layer instead of the Other layer. This was changed into the Other layer in GT7.
  • It can be seen driving at Piazza del Campo in a Gran Turismo 5 Gamescom demo.
  • At 87.56 PP (as of version 1.50), it sets the record for the lowest Performance Points in the series, due to a change in the calculation method compared to what was used in the PS3-era games (under that aforementioned system, the car with the lowest PP was the Lunar Roving Vehicle LRV-001 '71 at 172 PP).
