The Fiat 500 Celebrates its 5th Anniversary with a Special Edition

The Fiat 500 and 500C are celebrating five years and running.

Fiat is marking five years since they launched their modern 500 hatchback with a special edition model, creatively titled the 'Happy Birthday' edition. Set for a limited run of 555 units, the Birthday edition 500 and 500C will be offered only in Germany (Fiat says other special editions marking the occasion will be available around Europe). The Happy Birthday 500s will feature throwback wheel covers, two exclusive exterior finishes, a roof antenna and door mirrors finished in white.

In terms of equipment, the special editions carry chrome trim, MP3 connectivity and electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors. There isn't much to these special editions in terms of power, as they carry Fiat's 500 lineup of engines. As a quick refresher, these include a 68hp 1.3-liter 4-cylinder plant and an 84hp turbocharged 2-cylinder TwinAir engine.
