500 limousine

The famous milanese coach builder Castagna released some pictures of a very unconventional Fiat 500, a stretched 500 limousine.


A rich american collector ordered to the famous carrozzeria, a strictly italian based limousine to use in New York City, that's how the idea of a 500 limo was born.


Located in Milan, the italian house announced not one but three versions Fiat 500 limo targeted mainly for the U.S. market: LimoCity, LimoSun and LimoCity President.

The LimoCity is the traditional limousine, based not on a Lincoln Town Car.. but rather a stretched 500. All three limos now measure 209.4 in, whereas a standard 500 is 137.8 in. Also, the wheelbase has gone up from 90.6 in. to 160.6 in. For the LimoCity version, Castagna Milano raised the height to 62.2 in., up from the stock 58.7 in. Up to two rear sliding doors will be made available.

As the name implies, LimoSun is a landaulet version of the Fiat 500 limo. Based on the 500C convertible, the LimoSun has a passenger area rebuilt to seat four, with each pair of seats facing the other. To fully indulge in the outdoors, the sides are designed to be open with available transparent panels. Think Pope-mobile for the Miami crowd.

The third announcement is a provocation, a presidential 500, the LimoCity President. This version of the Fiat limo uses the larger American-spec 500 built in Mexico, and uses two electric motors for motivation. The motors provide all-wheel-drive traction and propel the President to speeds of up to 100 mph. The range is a claimed 155 miles.
