Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition
London, October 22, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– FIAT introduces the new Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition, a harmonious blend of Italian elegance and ethical commitment, designed to change the world with unparalleled style. The Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s edition, the ultimate embodiment of Made in Italy design on four wheels, revealed during the FIAT 125th anniversary celebrations, which symbolically coincided with the 90th birthday celebration of Maestro Giorgio Armani, is now available to European customers.
In a remarkable resurgence of their partnership, the two renowned Italian brands have once again joined forces. Their first collaboration in 2020 produced a unique, 500e one-off, and now they have reunited to create something truly exceptional. This venture marks the first time that two of Italy’s most iconic symbols of design, elegance, craftsmanship, and innovation have combined their talents to produce what can only be described as timelessly Italian excellence.
This vehicle, proudly produced at the FIAT Mirafiori plant in Turin, is more than just a mode of transportation; it is a statement piece, reflecting the pinnacle of Giorgio Armani’s expertise and the refined artistry of FIAT’s Centro Stile in Turin. The collaboration involved extensive work between the designer and the FIAT team over several months, aiming to encapsulate the essence of both brands into a single masterpiece. The result is a vehicle crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail and dedication to quality that you would expect in a high-fashion collection. Hence its name, a blend of quality choices, materials, colors, and overall design that mirror the same precision and style defining both the automotive and fashion worlds and resulting in a true Collector’s edition.
This automotive and fashion masterpiece, adorned with design elements exclusively crafted for this special series, will be available for a limited time, only during 2025. For those who order it, a dedicated Welcome Letter signed by Olivier Francois and Giorgio Armani will accompany its delivery, adding a personal and prestigious touch to the experience.
For the 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s edition, two distinct and exclusive colors have been crafted, each enhancing the car’s elegant hatchback design. The first is dark Green micinalised, a modern and technically advanced color that mirrors Giorgio Armani’s signature style and refined taste. The second is ceramic Greige, a sophisticated and nuanced shade invented by Armani. This unique color merges gray and beige to produce a hue that is both elegant and distinctive, reflecting the innovative spirit of the collaboration.
For the exterior, the Italian designers focused on minimizing contrasts and embellishments to achieve a sleek, monochromatic look that aligns seamlessly with Armani’s aesthetic. The most striking feature of the exterior design is the wheels, which have been custom-crafted to prominently display the GA logo on a grand scale. These wheels serve as a focal point, ensuring the car makes a bold impression from a distance. The design not only emphasizes the collaborative spirit of the project but also enhances aerodynamic efficiency through a subtly three-dimensional surface. The wheels feature a sophisticated burnished bi-tone anodized finish and delicate lateral grooves, adding a layer of refinement and elegance to the overall appearance.
The interior of the 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s edition exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship, highlighted by chevron stitching and three-dimensional patterns on the central seat inserts that evoke traditional tailoring techniques. The use of materials within the cabin reflects both elegance and the highest quality, blending cutting-edge and artisanal methods. Innovative touches include a dashboard insert made from laser-cut wood, which offers a softness similar to luxurious fabric. This is complemented by highly detailed artisanal elements, such as intricate embroidery, showcasing a dedication to fine craftsmanship. The vehicle also features the Milanese Maestro’s logo on the wheels and seats, with his signature prominently displayed on the dashboard, interior doors, and rear window, reinforcing the collaboration’s distinctive character and attention to detail.
The 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s edition boasts cutting-edge features, including Full LED Infinity Design headlamps and a sleek glass roof that enhances its modern aesthetic. On the technological front, the car is equipped with a high-end JBL audio system, a 7″ TFT Display, a 10.25″ Touch Screen NAV, DAB Radio, and supports Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto for seamless connectivity. Under the hood, the vehicle is driven by an electric motor delivering 87 kW and 118 hp, providing an impressive range of up to 320 km according to the WLTP combined cycle. Additionally, the 500e Giorgio Armani is fitted with the latest ADAS and a Level 2 assisted driving system, ensuring both advanced functionality and a safer driving experience.
