FIAT 500e 2018 Car Review
The Fiat 500 is often a two-door, four-passenger, transverse front-engine, front-wheel-drive A-segment city car manufactured and marketed through the Fiat subdivision of FCA since 2007 in hatchback coupé and fixed-profile cabriolet body styles, spanning a single generation — and obtainable in European markets beginning from model year 2016 having its first facelift. The 500 is internally designated since the Type 312 by FCA. Derived in the 2004 Fiat Trepiùno 3+1 concept (created by Roberto Giolito), the 500's styling recalls Fiat's 1957 Fiat 500, nicknamed the Bambino — a model that's designed and engineered by Dante Giacosa with 4 million sold over its 18-year (1957-1975) production span. Translated from concept to production design in the design direction of Frank Stephenson, the 500 features Dante Giacosa's 1964 breakthrough front-wheel drive breakthrough layout — which ultimately became a market standard, the layout "adopted by just about any other manufacturer inside world" for front-wheel drive
