After selling 3.2 million units worldwide, the Fiat 500 is retiring as a combustion engine. To mark the occasion, Marani has come up with something very special.

This is the special luxury model "Principessa D'oro Nero", which translates roughly as "the princess in gold and black". The Principessa is limited to a total of 30 examples and is also available as the Abarth 695 edition. Power? 70 PS for the 500, 180 PS for the Abarth.

Each car is hand-built and the two-tone metallic paintwork is striking: champagne gold metallic / vesuvio black metallic with burgundy red decorative stripes.

There is also a rhinestone decoration on the trim strips at belt height (vehicle sides) and a highly polished "MARANI" and "Principessa" lettering.

The bling theme continues on the door panel with a highly polished "Principessa" lettering, plus chrome-plated mirror caps, high-gloss chrome 16-inch rims, chrome-plated hubcaps embossed with "500", brushed aluminium door sills and a polished stainless steel exhaust trim. Glitz and glamour The 500's interior is also highlighted by cream leather upholstery with diamond-shaped interior surfaces with double stitching and silver-embroidered 'Principessa' lettering. There are also gold front seats and headrest covers, available in cream velour or cream leather with gold trim and rhinestone rings.
