Fiat has unveiled the new Topolino in Turin, an electric quadricycle with an eclectic design derived from the Citroen Ami that can be driven with a licence from the age of 14. The Topolino is the 500’s little sister, takes its name and design from the original 500 and is affectionately called ‘Mickey Mouse’ because of its small size. Its styling, like that of its ancestor, is characterised by a powerful simplicity, a design that revolves around the idea of ‘less is more’ that values simplicity as the best companion to beauty.
The range includes two different body styles, one closed and one open with a canvas roof and no doors, both consistent in their structural characteristics: one colour, Verde Vita, one wheel design and one aesthetic approach to the interior. Thanks to its extremely compact dimensions compared to a normal passenger car (2.53 metres in length) and its manoeuvrability, the Topolino has a top speed limited to 45 km/h. Both extremely versatile, the two models feature a 5.4 kWh battery that offers up to 75 km of autonomy and takes less than four hours to fully recharge. More than you need for days at the beach or for everyday use in city centres.
Reduced dimensions, with extraordinary roominess thanks to the two misaligned seats, the large glass area that greatly increases the perception of space in its entirety and, above all, the strategically positioned luggage compartments. One of these, positioned between the driver and passenger, can accommodate a suitcase, giving a total of 63 litres of interior cargo space. The Fiat Topolino can be customised to further emphasise its summer and Riviera character: an original and exclusive shower designed for days spent on the Italian beaches can be added.
The closed version can be customised with wood-effect stickers on the doors. In the open version, on the other hand, you can add striped stickers on the roof like a summer sunshade awning for an additional Dolce Vita touch. Both variants are equipped with a rear luggage rack, the Dolcevita Box, an elegant and functional fabric strip inside which personal items can be stored, and vintage chrome-effect mirrors.
