FIAT 126 652 CM³ ENGINE & SYNCHRONISED GEARBOX
This particular car benefits from a particularly interesting mechanical upgrade, as it is fitted with the 652 cm³ twin-cylinder engine from the Fiat 126 – the model that succeeded the Fiat 500 and whose mechanics represent a direct evolution of the latter.
Remaining true to the iconic air-cooled twin-cylinder design, the 652 cm³ engine delivers more torque, responsiveness and driving pleasure than the smaller-displacement engines originally fitted to the Fiat 500.
It is paired with a synchronised gearbox derived from the Fiat 126, making gear changes much simpler and more enjoyable for everyday use.
This configuration strikes an excellent balance: the charm, lightness and timeless aesthetics of the Fiat 500, combined with more refined Fiat engineering that is better suited to regular use.

THE FIAT 500, AN ITALIAN ICON
Unveiled in 1957, the Fiat Nuova 500 has become one of the most iconic cars in Italian history. With its tiny size, rear-mounted twin-cylinder engine and instantly recognisable design, it played a major role in making car ownership accessible to the masses in Italy.
More than sixty years after its launch, it retains an exceptional appeal. Lightweight, simple and full of character, the Fiat 500 offers a driving experience that is no longer found in modern cars.
This particular example stands out not only for the quality of its restoration but also for its 652 cm³ engine configuration with a synchronised gearbox, which allows you to fully enjoy the charm of a classic 500 whilst offering a driving experience significantly more enjoyable than that of the original specification.
A particularly attractive Fiat 500, restored and ready to drive, ideal both for weekend drives and as an addition to a collection.
The vehicle can be viewed by appointment at Phaéton Workshop.
Collection and delivery available on request.
