There’s not even an end in sight for the retro-inspired microcar, with Fiat releasing at least three new special editions in the past year alone. So, after almost a dozen years of this, how many ‘special edition’ Fiat 500s are there? Too many. Since 1998, Fiat's entry-level model in Europe had been the Polish-built Seicento, itself an updated version of the 1991 Cinquecento. These models had only ever been sold with three doors, although Fiat had responded to the growing demand for five-door city cars in 2003 by launching the Panda, which replaced a three-door model of the same name which had slotted into Fiat's European range between the Cinquecento/Seicento and the larger Punto. Around the time of the Panda's launch, Fiat set about developing a three-door city car to replace the Cinquecento. Driven by the tremendous success of the Smart Fortwo, especially in Italy, [12] Fiat began examining a variety of small car concepts "to regain its small-car crown," [12] — developing an "intense interest at producing a Smart (Fortwo) competitor" [17] — and concluding that "most customers want more than just the Smart's two seats." [12] Over the subsequent years a number of special edition 500 models were produced, such as the Abarth 500 in 2008, which is a performance turbocharged model, a Barbie version, and the 500 by Gucci in 2011.

The 500e is the first all-electric 500. By all accounts it's pretty average though, and only offers around 130km of range on a single charge. Could be considered a special edition because no-one bought them. 500 Cattiva The TwinAir received the Best New Engine Award for 2011 and was marketed the "world's greenest petrol engine," based on official Euro test cycle data for emissions and fuel consumption.
