"Cinquecento" may also refer to the earlier Fiat 500

The Fiat Cinquecento is a city car released by Fiat in late 1991 to replace the 126. It was replaced in 1998 by the Seicento.

It was available with two trim levels, 'S' and 'SX', and two choices of engine, a 704 cc OHV two-cylinder unit with 30 bhp DIN (22 kW), or a 903 cc OHV four-cylinder unit with 40 bhp DIN (29 kW). In 1993, the 903 cc engine's capacity was reduced to 899 cc for tax reasons, with the unit now producing 39 PS ECE (29 kW). In 1995 the Sporting version was introduced, featuring a 54 hp (40 kW) ECE 1.1 L FIRE engine and a 30mm drop in standard suspension, 13 inch alloy wheels as standard, colour coded bumpers and mirrors and a Rev Counter dial. It is the sporting model which gave birth to a rallying trophy and a Group A Kit-Car version.

Fiat Cinquecento concepts

In the mid 1990s, a number of concept cars based on the Fiat Cinquecento were developed by a number of design houses including one that featured half of the car's interior and a running board to place a bike. Another of these designs was the Lucciola, a proposal for a new Cinquecento by Giorgetto Giugiaro. However instead of the car becoming the next small Fiat city car, a version of the design ended up being put into production by the Daewoo Company of South Korea as their Matiz.
