Two hundred exclusive Fiat 500 vehicles, from which 60 units are going to the UK, have been set aside for European Ferrari customers requiring a loaner vehicle during servicing. Ferrari has chosen the small Fiat for its clients who appreciate Italian style, and like unique products.

Based on the 500 Sport version with traditional Ferrari red paintwork, the exclusive special editions are fitted with the 1.4-litre 100 bhp engine and offer a tuned exhaust system by long time Ferrari components supplier, Magneti Marelli.

Also included: red brake callipers, a sports pedal set, special black steering wheel with red stitching, and 16-inch alloy wheels. Other features include automatic climate control, electric sunroof, prestigious Frau leather interior, stereo, fog lights, numbered plate on the dashboard and Limited Edition wording on the kick plates.

Its got a 100hp 1.4 liter engine, accelerates 0-60mph in 10.3 sec, and has a top speed is 113mph, not bad for a little city car.

They should have used the Abarth model instead.

Honestly IF its this car or no car... id take this car - heck its just for fun anyways...

And there is no way ferrari would be able to afford to give ferrari loaner cars- Then Ferrari might as well build a second Ferrari for every one sold? What happens when the loaner cars need repairs too?

Fiat 500 is easy to service and 10x more reliable that any Ferrari- It makes sense to make a very unique car give it a personal touch and into a loaner ... Smart move by Ferrari
