Following on from the success of the Fiat 500 Pink,
another unique limited edition version of the popular city car has been
announced – the Fiat 500 BlackJack.
Just 200 examples of the matt black supermini will be available when it
goes on sale next week.
As with previous special edition 500 models, the
BlackJack will initially be available on-line only at www.fiat.co.uk. |  |
The BlackJack name reinforces the character of this car: irreverent and
mysterious. The 500 BlackJack is the first vehicle in this segment to
offer the special paint, and is one of several exciting Fiat 500 limited
editions being introduced this year.
Based on the 1.2 and 1.4 Sport specification, the Fiat 500 BlackJack features:
• Individual matt black paint finish
• Mouldings, door handles, door mirrors and plate holder in metallic effect
• 16-inch alloy wheels in matt black with red coach line
• Red brake callipers (1.4 only)
• Special carpet mats
The 500 BlackJack – like all Fiat 500s – comes as standard with Fiat’s
Start&Stop, which stops the engine automatically whenever traffic
conditions bring the car to a complete halt, and restarts it immediately
the driver wants to move off again.
“The paint finish is the most striking feature of this new limited
edition,” says Elena Bernardelli, marketing director, Fiat Group
Automobiles UK and Ireland. “It has previously been a characteristic of
new supercars, and gives the Fiat 500 a stunning new image. I am sure
the BlackJack will be a huge hit with Fiat 500 fans.”
The new car costs £12,165 OTR (1.2) and £13,565 OTR (1.4). | | | |  | The next generation Ford Focus has been tested in some of the most extreme locations on the planet.
It’s been thrashed over frozen arctic lakes, hammered across the hottest
deserts, and driven overloaded up and down high Alpine passes to ensure
impeccable reliability and dependability wherever it is sold.
That
included a climb over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, covering 48km
and a maximum altitude of 2,504 metres. | | | |
